Max is a 15.5 yo Shih Tzu. He's been an ass his whole life but we love him. My wife thinks it's time to put him down and so do I but I'm looking for other opinions.
He's been blind for several years. One of my nicknames for him is pinball because he'll walk until he runs into something then change direction.
He has glaucoma and cataracts in both eyes and he will no longer allow us to put in eye drops to ease the pressure.
About six months ago his longtime groomer told us we needed to find another groomer which we have not been able to because he's an ass.
He pretty much shits and pisses wherever he wants so between that and the fact that he hasn't been groomed for 6 months our house smells like an outhouse. He cries like someone is trying to kill him if we try to trim the hair around his ass so shit doesn't get stuck in it.
At this point in his life he sleeps, eats, and poops. Sleep takes up 95% of his time.
Are we terrible people if we have him put down?
