it was a sad thing to have to wake up this morning, knowing what i had to do. i got up around 7.... went downstairs an saw my grams, she sounded upset an scurred... scurred that in about an hour she would have to put her dog to sleep. after so MANY years with melissa, to only have her put down was the saddest thing ive seen her do in a long time....
Well the lady doc showed up around 8ish and started talking to my grandma, she was so nervous an felt so bad! well min later they call me down an she needs my help... since my dad didnt show up on time like he was asked i had to do the saddest part, i was told to put on the muzzel an hold her down while the doc gave her the anesthesia, so i did... melissa was so nervous an scurred... i could feel her shaking :'( that wasnt so hard.
i gave melissa one last touch on her face while she had her few breaths an said my goodbyes.
few min later the drug kicked in an the dog slowly started to drop to the floor an sleep. at this point my grandma is cryin more cause she knows whats going to happpen next an knows it has to be done. the Doc injects her an says it will take 5-15min depending.... we sit there, cry... and wait. :( the dog is out of it, still gone from the anesthesia. checks her heart beat everynow an then, waits an does it again..... shes gone... she said :'( so me an the doc are the only 2 that can carry the dog an we load it up in her truck an she carries her off.... :(
i didnt look back after that, it s just too sad!
