Today was one of hardest days of my life. We had to put Mishu to sleep this morning. Now most people who don't have dogs may not understand the true heartache i'm going through right now, but those of u who have dogs i'm sure understand.
she was the best dog a girl could ask for, even though many people didn't get to experience how good she really was because she was locked up behind a gate, but she truely was a blessing in my life. since i was 7 she has been there. protecting us from intruders and burglars and anything else that might come along. i have truely fond memories of her such as whenever we would walk in, Shushu would be standing there, shoe in mouth singing us hello. i remember when she used to run around and play, also when she pounced on kelly schmidt and i didn't think she would want to be my friend anymore. also when she got loose and ran to wal-mart, only to be caught by 2 police man, the one officer was wearing those arm protecters, while the other simply called mishu to him and she was very nice to him. i remember how she broke 7 windows when she was a puppy, and how whenever my mom wasn't home she would go and sit on the couch.
these are all fond memories i will cherish of mishu forever. i know in my heart now that she will no longer be suffering, and she is up in heaven playing with Dakota (my granmda and boppi's old dog)
i didn't go to the vet this morning, i was at sfs with mb. katie said i wouldn't be able to handle it. the vet said we could put her on pills, but in our hearts we knew that we shouldn't prolong her suffering, it was her time, and we didn't want her to be in pain or suffer. we made the right choice, even though it really hurts. katie said she licked her face through the muzzle before they left, and she was whining, as if she knew we were leaving her. before i went to sfs with mb, i spent my last 20 mins with her, hugging her and sobbing, when mary beth came, it was my last time to say good bye, i gave her a big hug, told her i loved her, and bawled my eyes out. my heart was very heavy.
I've never really lost any family members, until now, she was truely a part of my family and i don't know how i will be able to live without her watching over me.
it's been an emotional day for all of us, i just need to keep focusing on the fact that she will be out of pain now. i've had her in my life for 10 wonderful years, and i will never forget her as long as i live.
R.I.P. Mishu July 26, 1994-June 2, 2004. You will be in my heart forever.
