(39 posts)15. I still cry over the way one of my dogs went out...
She was notorious for not liking cameras, although she was ok with phone cameras when they showed up. She also was stingy with giving kisses. She was a rescue.
That appointment to the vet came up for her. We always assumed that she was momma's girl (my then-wife's dog). Laying on the table at the vet and no longer eating (they choose to breathe over eating), the vet preps her for her last shot and she gives me a kiss as the needle's going in her arm.
