Oscar died today.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Today we brought Oscar to the vet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We had to put him down, he had a hard time getting around – and overall had a poor quality of life that was left.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On a scale of 1 to 10, (10 being the best) the vet said loosely that he was a 1, but that he had a Strong heart.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The hardest part was around 12:00 when the Doc brought him in to us, all drugged up before the final shot.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He was wrapped in a cloth like a baby, quickly falling asleep- <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was the first time his frail little body wasn’t shaking in months.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was so sad that I cried.  The waterworks could not be stopped.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

12:20 pm he was shot with the final injection, my parents and I walked in and stood by him in his last moments.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Then his nose turned from wet to warm and from warm to cold.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now we have Mayer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Oscar Dewey<\/strong>, we had him for just about 11 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n
