Lori had Sadie put down tonight. It was a mutual decision. The final straw was that she had glaucoma and would have needed to have both eyes removed, or have a continuous course of very expensive drugs. I'm sorry I couldn't have been there with Lori. It's tough to handle it alone. But Gee needed to be taken care of. And I'm sure that Sadie was happy to be with Lori at the end, since Lori really loved her and was the only reason that Sadie was still alive after all these years.
As Lori was going through the procedure Oso got kinda close to Gee and I who were eating dinner. He stayed close and rather intent, as Oso goes. Lori called after and I mentioned that Oso was being intense. She asked if I had fed him. I'd forgotten. Oh, well. I guess there wasn't a strong connection between Oso that way.
I suppose in the next couple of months we will either get another dog, or start with the rescue program again. Oso is a dog who can't stand to be alone and I fear for what might happen to the house if he is left indoors without company for long stretches of time.
