Trusty passed away on 31st Aug. I had to put my most beloved baby to sleep. He has been suffering from an eye infection for about 3 weeks and we couldn't apply eyedrops for him coz he is senile and aggressive. He will bite if you try to touch his face. Even at the vet, they need 3 people to catch hold of him and apply eye drops. He was actually hospitalised since Saturday, but today the vet called to tell me that his eyes are not recovering. The decision was made by my mum and myself. Trusty has actually been in poor health for quite a while. He was also unable to find his way around the house and spent about 20 hours a day sleeping.
I just want to remember Trusty as he was, happy and healthy. He lived to a ripe old age of 12 years and 8 months. Although I had to struggle to make this decision, I feel relieved that he is no longer suffering.
Trusty, you were the best little pooch in the world. You brought so much joy into my life... So independent, and full of attitude, we are blessed be your care givers till the very end. You loved us with the whole of your little heart, and we all love you too. You have set the bar for all the future dogs that I will have. And the bar is d**n high. Only special dogs will meet up to the standard you have set. Letting you go was the hardest decision I ever had to make. On 1 hand, I wanted to explore all options, to try everything that might make you better. But I think you made it quite clear you have had enough. I know you must feel trapped in your old, tired and broken body, coz you are such a pup at heart. I knew what I had to do all along, but I just had to try, that's why I left you at the vet. I'm sorry for leaving you there Trusty, but I really thought that you would get better. I didn't mean to leave you there all alone Baby... And neither am I abandoning you now, at the vet, for them to put you to sleep. I know that if I'm there to watch you go, I won't be able to take it. And I'm sure that you will sense that I'm sad, and you will feel afraid... So, I really had to leave you there. I will always be wondering if I made the right decision, but my main concern is your happiness and to make sure that you don't suffer anymore. I didn't want you to live in fear anymore.
I can't believe that you are gone, I've had you for so long... I feel like my heart is dead. It's hurts to breathe and I can't stop crying. 12 years 8 months..... It's a long long time. Thank you for coming into my life my precious pooch. You were really such a good boy. Such a lovable dog. I will forever remember how you would rush to the door when I came home and your happy laughing face. I will remember you as a happy healthy dog. I love you Trusty. Farewell, till we meet again... We will run through the fields in heaven together when I join you. Meanwhile, have fun will all your friends. Remember, Ashley loves you and misses you.
