 I completely understand
Please let me start off by saying how sorry I am and that I can only imagine how you feel because this happened to me last Friday.
My baby was 7 and died after a long battle with trachea problems and lung disease. We did everything we could to keep him with us without compromising his comfort and health. We were constantly consulting the best vets and my poor guy even had a stent inserted but unfortunately it was his time. He started to cough and we rushed him to the hospital where we were told that it had collapsed further and there was nothing more we could do. It ripped my heart out. I thought the doctor would tell us the usual, that he was better and that we could take him home.
I loved him and will never forget the happiness he brought me and my family. I lost my other babies thankfully from old age. My first Yorkie made it to 16 and for that I'm grateful.
I worry too about his sister. We have lavished even more affection on her than usual. It's hard because they shared simialar physical attributes and mannerisms,
When comfort and quality of life are no longer possible, I'd die rather than see my babies suffer. My little guy went to sleep with arms around him, gently petting him and the words "I love you" in his ear. My poor baby was in ICU and medicated, yet he still wagged his tail when we called his name and spoke to him.
Again, I am so sorry, and I understand completely. |
