Oskar has been struggling the last month. I thought he had turned the corner and was getting better but I think that was more of a hope than reality. He won’t eat anymore, the last few nights he has been wandering the floor all night and struggles to keep his balance and falls down a lot. He has been my best friend for 13 years. If it were not Christmas evening, I’d take him to the emergency vet and have him put down but I’m not going to do that to the vet or my pocketbook. I had some ace we give to one of the other dogs when fireworks go off that will knock her out, so I mashed up a larger than normal dose and gave him a syringe full so he can at least stop roaming and rest. Tomorrow will be the day and I hate it, but when it’s time you just know. I hate every bit of this.


Here he is right before he bit my nose. I’m sure going to miss him

Sorry that you're dealing with this. We had to do this a few years ago to our fur baby around the same time. You know its time when they cease eating and enjoying the simple things. It does get easier, but they will always be with you.

sorry to hear that... angel


A good rule of angling philosophy is not to interfere with another fisherman's ways of being happy, unless you want to be hated.

Sorry about that, I know its hard. We had a long haired red dachshund, she was about 12 years old when we made the decision. We paid a mobile service in the dfw area $250 to come to our house and put her down, it was worth it to us to do it that way. The lady wrapped her up in her blanket after she passed and we buried her in the back yard. If I recall I believe she gave her a medicine to put her to sleep/drowsy first. Been about 7 years now and we finally just got a beagle. We loved that dachshund but damn she went into full bark alarm everytime the wind blew lol...

Man, my heart breaks. Dogs are so freaking awesome and Oskar was a good one for sure! I'll pray for him to have a peaceful trip over the bridge and for you and your family...It sucks. It just freaking sucks. I'm sorry.

Sorry to hear that!

I had a German Shepard put to sleep this summer, it doesn’t get any easier.

I know how much that sucks. The choices are bad, you either help your buddy out of his/her misery or watch them suffer. I had tears in my eyes on the last Shepherd I had to do that for, from Alpine to Marfa. Horrible choice, either way.

Hey Mud, the Oscar escapes are etched in our minds forever. He was lucky to have had you to love him!

Sorry to hear. He had a good run. I thought he was older 5han 13. The song said he was born in 2010.
