My Dog
well today is a day i hope i'll never have to repeat... today i had to put my dog down. he'd been sick with a really bad cold/ chest infection for over 2 months now the vet said he was very old 11 or 12 years old translates into about 69-75 in people years so i can understand it was close to his time but the worst part of it is i had to hold him as the vet shaved his paw. put on the turnakit(sp) 'put the needle in him and inject him then it was up to me to hold him as his body shut down, breathing slowed and heart stopped as all of this happened he let out the most heartbreaking moaning i have ever heard.. he also looked me right in the eyes as his heart stoped beating.. i'm trying to put on a strong non-emotional front for my mom as she is feeling like the monster for saying it was time to stop his suffering i agree with her but she totaly broke down so me trying to be the strong son i told her its not her fault and that its for the best(which it truly is ) but inside i'm broken that face that moan the holding him for many miniets after he was gone the body twiching and convolsing it was too much to bare alone i'm sorry if you don't wanna read this but i need to vent it... my love for him is forever in my heart and i'll never forget him....
Charlie this one's for you XOXOXOXO
