Welp unfortunately yesterday was the day for us. Went for a run like I always do and was thinking about Homer the whole run. When I got back I had made up my mind that it was time. This decision has been on my mind for a while so finally reaching the decision did help a bit. The rest of the day moved slow as I had to wait for our appointment. Telling the kids right after school was really tough. My parents came over to say goodbye as well, as my wife went with me to the vet. We were lucky to never really have any health problems with our pup and I am grateful for all the good times but man am I going to miss seeing him around the house.
One of the toughest parts is the change to your routine. Our pets become part of the fabric of our lives and when we lose them, everything goes into disarray.
