March 22 at 8pm we said Good bye to our fur babe, it wasn't easy but he let us know it was time. 

It was funny because I had told my hubby we need to make plans on what needed to be done in case of an emergency etc.  With the covid 19 issue things have changed, you can't just walk into the vets office, you have to wait outside for them to come and speak to you.  We spoke to the vet and she looked at Wolfie and said I am not going to tell you what to do but he will not last much longer .  So we made an appointment to end his suffering March 27 at 1pm.  I hated doing but it is what needed to be done

Sunday morning that little bugger came up the stair to our bedroom, he NEVER does that we even have a gate at the bottom the stairs that he somehow got past (don't know how).  He was in pain so we got him back downstairs and I got his medicine ready.  I could see he was having issue swallowing the medicine but he got them down.  At this point I was saying this is bad he is in so much pain we have to stop this so we called the vet again and left a message asking if they could get us in sooner.  Fast forward to dinner, he couldn't eat he wanted to but every time he tried to open his mouth he would cry in pain it was horrible it still breaks my heart.  This is when we decided it was time, we call the clinic that did his amputation and they told us to bring him in immediately.

So now he thinks he is going for a car ride, the one thing left on his joy list that he still enjoyed doing.  The rides was very somber and quiet.  When we arrived at the clinic we had to call and they had to collect the payment and ask some very difficult but necessary questions and while I was doing that this lady walks up the clinic door carrying a small little German Shepherd puppy.  Wolfgang was laying on the ground waiting for me to get off the phone and this lady puts the dog on the ground so it can go see Wolfgang!!!! I was like OMG is she crazy here is this 10 year old Huge Male German Shepherd in pain I wasn't sure what was going to happen. Not her fault she didn't know but Wolfie was good, he stood up looking all stoic and just simply looked down at the pup not a sound not a whimper.  The puppy just sat down in front of him, if I was in my right mind I would have taken a picture. 

Strange days for us he was a HUGE part of our lives now everything changes, routines change even sleep patterns and now we have to make sure we lock the doors :).  Meeko the cat still looks for him and insists on sleeping with me every night.  The house seems quieter

Man I miss him, I thought I was doing good but I am bawling like a baby right now

Thanks to all of you that found the time to answer my questions I truly do appreciate it.

Stay safe and stay healthy.

Sincerely

Terry
