Real Life always Interrupts the fun.
I sit here at the computer, hoping it will ease my mind. Read a few funny e-mails. It's not helping at all. To some this means nothing...to my family and those that love animals, it does.
I lost the sweetest pet I have ever had this evening at 6:15. My Sandy Man. My little guy who would follow me all through the house, and lay near by. He would almost say words to me..yes words, it was crazy how he would make noises like words, when he wanted my attention. I was trying to remember how long I have had him, I think it was about 12 years. I knew he would not be with us much longer. I just dreaded the end.
Tonight Kristen and I were suddenly faced with holding him and talking to him as he passed. Kristen was suprisingly strong for me...I did not do so well. He headed straight to my room to pass.
It was horrible not being able to stop his struggle. As he took his last few breaths...we sweet talked him...stroked his head and he finally lay still.
I am thankful for 2 things. To have had such a loving pet for so long. and... To have my daughter with me. She was my rock.
Josh called soon after, asking how Sandy was doing...I had to tell him the sad news. He took it kinda hard, because we all loved him.
Ray called a few minutes ago, made me cry all over again.
This is going to be a few ruff days ahead, Sandy always waited for me to get home each night, siting up right in the driveway, watching for my car.
I miss him already, the house is quiet. Peaches our other pet is looking for Sandy....Kristen finally broke down. I knew she would.
Man...sorry for the bummer post, I just needed to talk to someone.
