"a piece of him will stay when the rest of him goes, you are divided, for now"
So, this is probably the saddest post I will ever make. After much debate and much heartache my family has decided it's time we put my dog, Tippy, to sleep. My mom has made an appointment for sometime tomorrow, it hasn't so much hit me yet, that she will be gone forever, but just writing about this is getting my all teary and it sucks.
The past year or so she has just really gone down hill, she's super old, I've had her since 1987, she was my first real pet, and it kills me to know that she will be gone, but I know she will be better off. Her eyesight and hearing and pretty much gone, she can barely stand on her own (which usually leads to her pissing and shitting herself then laying in it), she is always chewing on her paws and bleeding all over the place, and is all shaky and her skin is all crusty and bumpy and gross, and she is just obviously in lots of pain. So as much as I hate to see her go I know it's for the better. It just sucks so much KNOWING she's going, here I am writing her "obituary" and she's still sitting in the living room barking. It's a very odd and creepy feeling. We're KILLING our dog. I know it's for the better, but it's just so weird to know WE'RE causing it. The more I think about it the more upset I get, I think it's finally settling in that she will be gone. Needless to say if I'm a bit mopey the next few days you now know why. I am just going to try to live my life and not think about it and will most likely end up trashed tomorrow trying my best to forget.
She was such a great dog. She will be missed. :( :( :(
