Throw in the trash can?
Flush down the toilet?(fish)
Or backyard grave?
Or... well you tell me lol.
Definitely backyard grave. My aunt's other dog, also a shihtzu named Candice, died from renal failure while my son and I were away. We were on a swimming trip when my aunt texted me to tell me that Candice passed away just a few minutes after we left. Earlier that day, I've already noticed her heavy breathing but never thought too much about it. I wasn't able to enjoy our swimming that day and that night when my son was asleep, I cried. She stayed here for two years when my relatives were evicted and I learned how to take care of a dog through her. Candice was underfed and already suffering from UTI that time but my aunt was in denial and kept telling us that her frequent vomiting (which turned out to be gastritis) is the result of being pulled away too early from her mom's milk, which the vet had already confirmed that it wasn't the case. I still have her last picture taken a few days before she passed away.
