I'm...sad.

[carkey]

Sorry I haven't been around in a while- I missed you guys.

My eleven year old dog has been sick for a while, with infections everywhere, a growth on his foot, and he's been falling around when he tries to walk. I know that he's in pain because he cries, all of the time. He's crying right now, in fact, and it really makes my eyes water.

My dad told me today that he's taking him to the vet tomorrow, and that he probably won't come back. I'm working all day tomorrow, so I got upset since I really wanted to have a good amount of time with him before he has to die. I know that I'm being selfish, but I can hardly remember a time when he wasn't in my life, since I was only five when he came to us. He's like my child, and I don't want him to go.

So yeah, it's just sad for me right now. PMS totally does not help. I love my dog.

I just wanted to get that out. Sorry and thanks.

damn Carleigh I'm so sorry about that *hugs* at least he won't be suffering anymore *more hugs*

*hugs* Aw, that is so sad. There is nothing to sorry for; an animal is just like a human, especially if it is a dog or a cat. Just think... he won't be suffering anymore.

Oh, poor baby. *hugs you* I'm so sorry. I know how hard it is to lose a pet, especially one that you've had for a long time and truly love.

God, I've missed you. *hugs you again* We haven't talked in....forever.

Awww, losing an animal is hard. I lost all four of mine in only a few months, and that was very hard because they've always been in my life, ever since I can remember. My parents got them all before they had me.

It takes some time, but at least he won't be in pain anymore. And I'm sure he'll be sorely missed. *hug*

aww I have had that happen to me, but their right he will be alot happier (not the he's dead but he's not suffering anymore) it's hard to deal with, if you need anyone to talk to, were all here!

[greenbananas]

*hugs* I'm so sorry Carleigh. If you need/want, you can talk to me anytime.

Thanks guys.

I sat with him all day today, basically bawling my eyes out, and even though he struggled he still tried his hardest to make me feel better and lick my tears away. My dad came home from work early, and we cried together (I'd never seen him cry) and then my sister, a big huddle of mess and still my dog tried to lift our spirits.

My dad took him about forty minutes ago, and came back shortly after, alone, bursting into tears at the door. Turns out he had cancer in his back and probably his brain, and keeping him would have been selfish.

Best dog ever. I miss him so much already. He's out there chasing geese somewhere, though. I know it.

Thanks again.
