Jared & Shannon Leto put their dog to sleep, tweet about it, I weep.

Last night, Jared Leto and his brother, Shannon, had to put their beloved Husky mix, Sky, to sleep. Both tweeted pictures of Sky, with Jared's photo slightly more emotional (both tweets under the cut).

Mods -- I know this isn't NEWS, but I think we have posts about celebrity pets all the time and I think this is something people can relate to.

Same :( He's had allergies for a long time where he chews himself and we have to give him steroids (usually summer time) so he's overweight but happy. He also has cataracts and trouble getting up stairs. I bought those puppy stairs for my bed haha BUT he does get his JRT energy sometimes and I'm like who is this dog!?!?

Yep, Milo has that, too. I think it might be a breed thing? He's also a little chubs, but that's because my brother keeps slipping him bacon and I FLIPPED when I found out. Milo likes to jump on the bed, but he misses it one out of every four times. Does he have those running fits? Milo still has those about once a day where he runs around the house at lightning speed for thirty minutes and then he sleeps the other 23 and a half hours of the day.

It definitely is a breed thing, I think. Haha my dog has turned into such a piggie, if you're holding food he doesn't care anymore he'll lunge at it. And yes! Especially if he's wet...he bolts through the house and of course on my bed...or I take him to the park and he runs like crazy and plays with the ball..i'm like you've still got it!

can i ask about his allergies? Does he chew himself so badly that he has patches where his fur is gone and his skin is red/irritated/inflamed? Our JRT has been having problems like this and we first told it was mites, then allergies and they gave her some meds but nothing helps :(

Yes! that's exactly what he does..til it's raw and bleeding :( he does it EVERYWHERE and has gotten so close to his eye. They said it's allergies and he's had it probably for like 4-5 years and it only happens during the summer and when it's hot. The steroids sort of help. I've read that changing his diet MAY help but he's old and picky. :( it's heart breaking to see.

Thank you so much for the information. Yes, our girl does the same thing :( It's truly awful..poor babies. At least it's only in the summer!
