Death, death, and more death
Death has stolen more from me in the last 4 yrs - than in my whole life. Once again, tomorrow morning, it will take another pet from our family. She’s had a long and happy life. She was crippled years ago and yesterday an accident made the decision we’ve been putting off for awhile now. We’re taking her to the vet tomorrow morning. She doesn’t seem to be in pain, but she’s unable to get out of her dog house on her own. It started raining and snowing yesterday so I’m staying up all night, rotating towels and blankets from dog house to dryer to keep her warm.
I know it’s our responsibility in loving our pets to make the decision when the time comes. But making the call to end life for another living being, - that’s something I never make peace with. It haunts me always.
Be the strong woman that you are..
Ah man. I’m so sorry to hear this. I have a cat that is getting up there in years. I dread the day he leaves me. I fear the idea of putting him to sleep.
Take care.
Pets are the true definition of unconditional love.
I’ll be thinking about you.
