On November 2, 2011 we had to have my precious Cutter euthanized at 2:30 AM in the morning. He was nearly two months short of his 17th birthday. He had a growth on his scrotum which we weren't aware of and it burst. They couldn't do surgery on him to close the wound because of his age so I had to make the decision to let my baby go
. I was nearly twenty-two years old when I got him. I had him nearly half of my life. He was still energetic and lively right up until the time he passed on. He didn't want to be weighed on the scale when we got to the animal hospital and he jumped off the scale and he was trotting around the office and wagging his tail. I held him in my arms while they euthanized him. I figured it was the fitting thing to do because for the entire 16 1/2 years I had him (got him on April 29, 1995) he always slept with me every night. I told him to go back to his mommy (my Mom) who passed away a year ago last October. He went very quickly and he was at peace. He knew it was time for him to move on back to the woman who loved him and bought him for me for my 22nd birthday. I have yet to get another dog. I still have my baby Tigger who will be 3 in February and he keeps me on my toes and brings me great joy. I'm attaching a picture of Cutter that was taken when he was 18 months old. He knew he wasn't supposed to be on the picnic table and that he was in big trouble, LOL. I love you and miss you Cutty!
