My Dog, Dillon, Died Today


Dillon died today at about 12:30 pm. He had a heart attack and was dead in less than a minute.

I had hoped he would make it through Christmas, and that I wouldn’t have to be the one to have to take him to the vet and ask them to put my friend to death. I got both those wishes.

It’s been a rough 7 ½ months since he was diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy. He was only 6 years old. It has taken a huge toll on me, and I have grieved every day since the diagnosis for my dog. He had a good life, and I did all I knew to make him happy. He was a good friend, and I loved him very much.

I don’t know what I’m going to do from here regarding another dog. I just need some rest time.

Very sorry to hear of your loss. It sounds like Dillon was in great hands, and enjoyed a great life with you. With all things considering, he was a blessed dog.
