I had to put my best friend and dog to sleep on monday.  It was hard to do I didnt want to but It was his time. He was 14 years old this month.  I have grown up with Frosty. he was my dog since I could remember. He was loving and affectionate and just perfect. He would play whenever you wanted to and he knew when you were sick or wasnt feeling the happiest. He would just sit there next to you and let you cry or whatever. He was the perfect dog. He was more my dads dog though and Ty is mine. I have never seen my dad cry so much.  I dont know how he did it. I had to go to work when they put him down and it is a good thing. I could not have been there to see my dad and brother have to roll him over onto a blanket because he couldnt walk.  I would not be able to handle that. It was hard enough sitting on the kitchen floor with him for 2 hours crying my eyes out telling him goodbye for the last time. 

I told myself I wouldnt cry anymore. That I did the right thing by putting him to sleep. And here I am crying while writing this. I dont regret our families decision to put him down. He was suffering by keeping him alive. It was just hard to realize he wont be at the door waiting for you to get home anymore. He wont start barking and panting when its dinner time.

We still have TY, yet he is a little lost on what to do without his brother.  He has never lived in a house with only one dog. We have always had frosty. We are trying to do the best we can to make him feel better. but you can tell he is a little depressed and definiatly lost wthout his older brother around. we have to go outside and sit on the porch with him when he needs to go out. He doesnt like to be out there alone.  He stleeps with us now instead of in the kitchen alone. which helps both of us. I like having ty next to me, it brings me comfort and I know he likes it better knowing he still has us even tho his brother is gone. 

Frosty will always be missed and never forgotten. He was a great dog.
