After nearly three years with him, we had to have Oliver euthanized last night. Congestive heart failure, the air wasn't getting to him the way it should've been, and he had to sit in an oxygen tank, otherwise he'd start turning blue. Couldn't watch him suffer. They let us be with him for a while, but I couldn't stay there because he wanted out of that tank so much and was whining. I couldn't listen to it. I feel miserable about it, especially since Craig was at home and didn't get a chance to see Ollie.

Speaking of, he asked if we were going to get another dog, and Mom told him it was too early to think about that, but she did tell me she'll have to break down and get another dog.

Still not sure what to say at this point. I miss him.

It was a genuine shock to see this entry come up on my FL. Not only did reading through it -- and learnin' what the poor guy went through -- make me sad, but it hurt a bit too. I'm so sorry. =(

Offering internet hugs from over here. I'm sorry this happened.
