The Best Fucking Dog.
So we had to put Cuddles down last week..
Apparantly she had a stroke in the middle of the night. My mother woke me up at 6:30 to tell me the news. I walked out and saw her lying on the floor, one leg drawn up in the fetal position and the other stretched out and ridged. I knew off the bat that she'd had a stroke and was in bad shape. We took her to the vet and he had some encouraging news. He said that dogs recover quickly from strokes and dont recieve any lasting injuries. He also had some bad news...he said that although dogs recover from strokes, the reason that she had one in the first place was often because she had an under-lying medical problem. He basically said that her kidneys were shot. We had no other option than to put her down. That was the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life. She was MY pet since I was fucking two years old. I had worked in an animal hospital before, and knew what they did to the animals after putting them down, and told my mom that I refused to leave her there. She deserved a proper burial, not to be placed in a fucking bag and frozen for weeks. After we got home, my mom had to go to work and I was all alone. Never have I felt so alone. I dug out some old tapes, and found one that said "New Edition", and popped it in. There I saw my dog running around less than a year old. I was just a little kid, but I was so excited that she was there. On the tape, I drug around a jump rope, and she would chase it. then she would catch it, and i would fall on my ass. I saw on the tape that I would just laugh, get up , and do it again. This tape cheered me up a bit. I began to remember all the good times we had together. I know this sounds gay, but fuck off...she was my best friend. any pet owner would understand. It's been Weird not having her around. Oh well, atleast I have the memories.
