My next birthday is approaching, so I decided to post every day this month, highlighting thirty-one memorable moments. Yesterday, I posted a photo of a beautiful sunrise. If you haven’t seen it, check it out. I literally gasped when I saw it. Day 1: That time the sunrise made me gasp.

Day 2: That time we had to put our dog down.

On December 30, 2022, my husband and I had to put our beloved pup, Scout, down. I’m still sad about it. The decision to euthanize her was agonizing, although we knew it had to be done. I’ll spare you the details, or maybe I’m sparing myself.

I want to mention that when we adopted her, we were told she was about a year and three months. However, she was actually about three or four years old. That’s a big deal in dog years since the average lifespan for German Shepherds is 9-13 years.

Anyhoo, the procedure was done at home, where she was calm and comfortable. We’re grateful for the seven years we had Scout. She was the best dog EVER!!!
