My mood while writing this blog: sad |
I am sorry to put this on here but it is just what is on my mind. Last weekend on Mother's day I had to put my 14 yr old dog to sleep, her name was Shade. I miss her so much. Everytime I get up in the middle of the night I expect to see her and have her walk with me to the bathroom like she normally would. I keep thinking I will see her in the morning when I wake up and look for her to let her out. I don't know how long this will last. It has been so long since I have lost an animal I had forgotten how it felt. I have lost a child. I had her since my 10th grade year of highschool, she was a little Shetland Sheepdog. She was 5 wks old when I got her and she slept right beside my bed in a playpen, she was so little. She could fit in your hand. She wasn't a normal Sheltie, she was a minature..she was only 8 lbs full grown. What had happend is that her teeth had gotten so bad that it had rotted her bone on her jaw. She was probably chewing at a flea and her jaw broke. It was a terrible thing to happen. There was nothing we could do ... we were told last year to put her to sleep and I just couldn't do it. The reason we were told to put her down was cause of her teeth. They were so bad that she was slowly going, but she was still eating and drinking, and using the bathroom... everything. I just couldnt' do it at that time.
