Every dog has its day. Sometimes, that can be for the better or for the worse. Our dogs are like our children. We take care of them, feed them, house them and play with them. They are just as much a part of the family as everyone else is. It’s never easy putting your dog down, and it only gets harder as the day draws closer. I think it is important to make their last days count just as much as we would our own. Don’t let sorrow get the best of you and your pup. Spend their last days giving them the best time of their life.
Here are 13 things you should do with your dog before he goes to doggy heaven:
1. Let them stick their head out of the window.
Some fresh air always does the body good.
2. Allow them to sit on the couch that they know they’re not supposed to be on.
3. Schedule a play date with one or multiple of their puppy pals.
4. Go to a fast food joint and get them a hamburger, all for themselves.
5. Take LOTS of pictures.
6. Give them lots of scratchies.
I'm talkin' a full body scratch session. Don’t skimp out on them.
7. Get them a pedicure.
It will "pawsitively" impact their day.
8. Go to the dog park.
Let them burn off whatever energy they may have left.
9. Buy them the softest blanket you can find.
10. Let them eat chocolate.
We know it's bad for them, but they love it. Let them indulge just this one (last) time.
11. Lay in bed ALL DAY together.
12. Take a road trip, just for kicks.
13. Let them chew up anything they want
It's replaceable, I promise. But the experience with your dog won't be.
Don't wallow in sadness because it's time to let go of your puppy—give them the most memorable day/days ever.
