New Year's Day was a good day. We hung out all day and she ate all kinds of treats, blueberries and apple slices, she even played in what capacity that she could. Yesterday morning we had to have my girl euthanized. It hurts like hell and the tears have come and gone all week but at least she's no longer in pain anymore.
She was my first Cane Corso, I've met some wonderful people as I got into the breed and learned more about them. The thing about Corsos that other owners can attest to, is the level of bond that they have with their owners and their chosen person. For 8 years Lianna was like my shadow, if I was around she wanted to be right next to me. She was a workout buddy, a goofy dog that was always in the mood to play yet a serious protector when needed.
In the end she couldn't move her hind legs but yesterday she tugged at my leg with all of her strength. I thought maybe she was hungry or thirsty, she just wanted to be close so she could lay her head on my lap and take a nap. Rest well, Forte Bello's Lianna.
