So I had a rough start to the weekend.
When I go home unless its bad weather the first place I stop is the farm so I can see my dog, Beastie. Well he is getting old and he is deaf, and apparently he is almost blind too but I didn’t know this.
So I pull my truck around to the back where he’s at and he’s laying half out of his dog house. I start talking to him and he’s not moving. Usually he gets up and dances around because he’s so excited to see me. But not this time.
So I get over to his pen and he FINALLY gets up after I coax him up and he doesn’t jump up on the fence to hug me and put his head on my shoulder like he usually does. In fact he hardly moves at all.
So I start to think that he is dying because he’s barely moving and I start BAWLING and BEGGING him not to die. It was NOT pretty. I stood there bawling for like five minutes petting him, hugging him and begging him not to die on me, and what does he do? He finally gets up, starts grinning and prances around!
I could have throttled him right then and there!!
I was glad he was ok but then I realized that I will have to deal with him passing, most likely sooner rather than later. And then I started crying all over again. :(
