my mom called me today and told me that mickey went to the groomers at the vet the other day and the groomer told my mom that mickey shouldnt get groomed so often any more because of his age and his declining state that he might die of heart failure at the groomers... which apparently happens at the groomers because they get stressed out so much.

my aunt lost their 13 year old maltese after a visit to the groomer's...

mickey's 15 now and it really breaks my heart knowing that. I have Coco now and i love her but Mickey's like a brother to me. I'm an only child and never wanted siblings but always wanted a dog. so on my 9th birthday my parents decided to get me a dog. Even though i was the least favourite person (i wanted to cuddle with him and i guess he didnt want to lol), he stood by me and protected me when I got scolded and he boldly even tried to bite my mom (his favourite person in the family) when she yelledl at me. He also knew when i was sad and he'd come and nap next to me because he knew that would cheer me up.

I know that Mickey lived a healthy and long life so far and he is still with us and still has time left but i guess not knowing when and how long he has scare me because it is coming to an end.

I just wanted to say this because I didn't know who else to talk to about this. Thanks for reading and allowing me to dump this somewhere...

in a perfect world, i wish dogs never died...
