I’m so sad. I’ve been crying off and on since it happened. For a few months now, my aunt’s dog, Daisy, has been having these “attacks.” These so-called attacks cause her to make this EEEEEEEEEEK! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! noise and fall on to her side for a minute or so. Until today I’ve been, I guess, lucky enough not to witness any of these “attacks” when I go over to visit. Well, as you all know, today is Father’s Day, so yesterday after I got off of work, we went sleep at my parents house, and my parents, and aunt, and Chad’s family all met up for lunch. After lunch, we stopped back by my parents house to get some good old home cooked food and such, and Nina had made some chili for us. I walked over to her house, and right after I walked in, Daisy started making this shrieking noise and fell over. OMG. I got so upset, I just walked back to my parent’s house while it was going on. I walked over tearing up, when I walked in everyone was looking at me like WTF? I started explaining what happened and I lost it. I can’t get that noise of out my head, or the vision of her lying on the floor like that. I felt so stupid for crying all over the place like I was, but it was so sad and awful. Of course my mom and Chad were trying to console me, but I didn’t want to walk over there again. My mom was like Nina’s holding her, she’s ok, so I went over, and Nina and Daisy were both fine. Then we started talking, Nina said she may put her down, then we both started crying. She said she is like her kid. Anyone that has an animal knows how it is…
I called my cousin, who is a vet technician, she basically said to get her to a vet, and see if there is anything they can do to make her more comfortable, but I doubt it. She has an enlarged heart, which is putting pressure on her lungs, and eventually, she will suffocate, of course the vet never explained it this way to my aunt. The seizures she has “supposedly” does not hurt her, though…I hope for Daisy that stands true. I’m so sad, and I know this post is very morbid, but I just needed to get it out. I just wish my aunt would put her down soon. I think it’s better for her to be put down by a vet, then continue to suffer from these attacks, and eventually suffocate. Most people would just say something to the effect of “it’s just a dog” and blow it off. It’s not my place to tell people how to think, if you feel that way, that’s fine, but don’t be a dick and make a comment like that here on my page.
Just overall life is kinda sucky. The only good thing, I suppose, is that I am back in school and having fun with my classes. Though being at school makes me feel lonely, because the people that were close to me aren’t at school anymore.
