In which we’ll miss the little poodlet.
G’ma had to have Chipper, her poodle mix, put down last Wednesday.
He’d gotten despondent and the vet had put him on meds for diabetes; G’ma and my brother took turns sticking him with a needle twice a day. A week later he was vomiting repeatedly and was one morning nearly non-responsive. G’ma had my uncle take him back to the vet.
Infection in the pancreas, possibly, or cancer; followed by not eating or drinking, followed by emergent renal failure. Rather than subject a twelve-year-old dog to possibly pointless exploratory surgery, she opted to have him put him to sleep. He’s buried out at the farm in Dave’s pet cemetary.
Bye bye, Chipper-doodle, you were a wonderful, weird, and sweet little dog.

Damn. I hate hear of the any of the babies dying. My condolences, sweetie.
Bye little Chipper. *sniff*
aw! do give g’ma my regards and sympathies. she gave chipper many good years and will have many wonderful memories, though i’m sure that’s not much of a comfort right now.
My sympathies. That is hard.
I’m so sorry. Chipper looks like a lovely dog. I didn’t know him, yet I still miss him.
Thanks, everyone, for the condolences. *sigh*
