Honest question,why does euthanizing a dog or pets for that matter hit that certain chord in your heart? I didnt think Id have to face this heartache again but here I am experiencing it once again. I dealt with euthanasia before when I had a cat when I was 12 but unfortunately my cat had been food poisoned. When we went to the vet she wanted to do a stomach pump on him when she found out what had happened. It was a costly procedure that my parents couldnt afford so we ended up having to euthanize Pancho(my cat) which was the worst. Now, my gfs dog is being put to sleep tomorrow and Im fucking devastated.
Ive dated my gf for 7 years and in those 7 years Ive also gotten to spend time with her families shelties (male and female.) Their shelties are wonderful dogs and Ive had a lot of fun getting to bond with them but now one of them has gotten to the tipping point. The male dog has a hard time doing anything now... he cant hear well, cant go outside anymore to do his business without help and most importantly isnt eating anymore. Hes just skin and bones now and has gotten super weak. My gfs dad ended up deciding today to put him to sleep tomorrow and told us to say our goodbyes to him.
When her and I went to do so though and saw him we just teared up and got super emotional... especially since we wont get the chance to be there tomorrow to say our final goodbyes when hes put to sleep. The thing that got me is that he was wagging his tail while laying on the ground when we went to see him and he looked super happy but once my gf hugged him while balling her eyes out his attitude changed and all of the sudden he stopped wagging his tail as if he knew something was up. I think that hurt me the most and hit me right in the heart. I did my thing too but omw back home I couldnt stop thinking about that last encounter. Now Im here having a couple beers to a wonderful dog knowing that today was my last time seeing him alive and wan to say a toast to him.
Heres to you Max old buddy old pal... thanks for being a great doge, I hope the great doge skies have a wonderful treat waiting for you up there among the others out there. Lchaim 🍻🍻🍻
