A week ago I put my buddy, my bubba, my very good boy Ferdinand the basset hound to sleep. He had developed a large mast cell tumor several months ago. A surgeon removed it, and he thought he got clean margins. Two months later, I was rubbing Ferdinand’s belly, and I found several more tumors. They were really large considering it had only been two months. Ferdinand was about 14 years old, and I was not going to put him through chemotherapy. [He was a rescue, and I can’t be sure of his age, but I had him for about 11 years.] I decided that putting him through more surgery was just going to prolong his problems, and I made the decision to put him to sleep. I know it was the right decision, but it was still very difficult. He was my buddy, and I didn’t want to lose him, but I had to let him go. So a few photos to remember my buddy and the wonderful times we had together.
Ferdinand was the subject of many of my blog posts because well, he was a great subject.
Great pics Linda. Remember the happy times with your buddy. Love the snow pics and his tolerant expression with the leafy hat.
S o sorry Linda. Our pets are family and our fur babies will forever leave footprints on our hearts.
Sorry you lost your for baby. He was very photogenic.
