Today wasn't supposed to happen.
It was supposed to be a happy day.
This day wasn't supposed to come for months.
Hector - One of my dogs, was put down today. I just can't get my head around it. He was fine yesterday. And now I'm beginning to think, we should have had the x -rays first, just incase he wasn't bleeding into his abdomen, incase it was something less serious, and we didn't have to have him put down. I miss him so much. The thought that he's in a better place, is comforting, but not as comforting as him being with me right now.
I thought Rupert would go first. I can't believe this. I thought i'd got over the shock, i definately haven't. I really wish, I would wake up tomorrow, and this hadn't happened. I'm just...not understanding it.
I wish I'd known, I probably would have been up all night with him or something. I was going to stay for the injection, but at the last minute I couldn't. I forgot to give him one big hug. For a while now, i've been thinking, I wanted the dogs cremated privately, so we could keep their ashes. I just need it. I just do. I asked my parents before the vet came back in. They've agreed. I just wish lastnight I'd given him more fuss. Told him more how much I loved him. I kept a lock of his hair. It's something else I needed to do.
I've never coped well with death. I knew I wouldn't cope well with this. I just didn't think it would be today. I'll probably post some photos of him soon.
It's nearly 12 hours since he's been gone.
It wasn't supposed to happen today...
