Four Legged Friends

[OK Corgi Rancher]

I almost always try to find a vet who makes house calls when one of my pups decides it's time to go. I hold every single one of them for their last breath and their last heart beat. I have no doubt they'd do the same for me if they could.

They rely on us to make just about every single decision regarding their lives and that's the most important one. It's hard...really hard...to let them go. But that's the price we pay for their unparalleled love and devotion.

I saw this on another website this morning and thought I‘d share here.

Pets, it turns out, also have last wishes before they die, but only known by veterinarians who put old and sick animals to sleep.
Twitter user Jesse Dietrich asked a vet what was the most difficult part of his job.
The specialist answered without hesitation that it was the hardest for him to see how old or sick animals look for their owners with the eyes of their owners before going to sleep.
The fact is that 90% of owners don't want to be in a room with a dying animal.
People leave so that they don't see their pet leave. But they don't realize that it's in these last moments of life that their pet needs them most.
Veterinarians ask the owners to be close to the animals until the very end.
"It's inevitable that they die before you. Don't forget that you were the center of their life.
Maybe they were just a part of you. But they are also your family. No matter how hard it is, don't leave them."
Dont let them die in a room with a stranger in a place they dont like.
It is very painful for veterinarians to see how pets cannot find their owner during the last minutes of their life.
They dont understand why the owner left them. After all, they needed their owner's consolation.
Veterinarians do everything possible to ensure that animals are not so scared, but they are completely strangers to them. Don't be a coward because it's too painful for you.
Think about the pet. Endure this pain for the sake of their sake.
Be with them until the end.

Our last dog was so bad off that we had to put him down. The wife and I were both with him. He was blind and deaf, but I know his nose knew we were there, petting him as he went.

It was definitely tough for both of us. He was 17 years old.

While Bobbi was on high alert watching me load ammo yesterday, Easton was….well…unconcerned about anything.

Lil Red has decided he likes the dog bed beside my wife’s desk.

She’s definitely spoiled rotten.

The goats are loving the warmer weather. Annie took advantage of the sunshine to catch a little nap.

What is the bracket that the cat's perched on?

The frame of my reloading bench.

The frame of my reloading bench.

Yeah, but is that some type of plastic shelf bracket? I'm afflicted with a 'what's that thing' problem, lol..
