Goodbye, My Sweet Girl.

Tweet

If you've been reading my posts for a while, you may (or may not) remember that I have (had) three dogs --- one being a 15-year-old, blind toy poodle. While I've known her most of her life, she was originally my late Aunt's dog. She came to live with us after my Aunt passed away a few years ago. These last few days, something didn't seem right with her. She stopped eating, eventually stopped drinking, was sluggish and confused, etc. So we made the decision to take her to the emergency vet late last night. I'm not going into details because this whole thing sucks, but what it came down to was.... we had to let her go. It was a hard decision, but her chances even with hospitalization were slim. She was so old. Almost 16. I couldn't let her suffer, so I agreed to put her down. My 23-year-old nephew, who's a real gem, was in the room with me, so I didn't have to be alone. I stayed by her side and petted her until she was asleep. I didn't have the strength to be in there when her heart stopped, but the vet told me that her last moments were of us. I gave her kisses and told her I loved her beforehand. Those who know me know how important she was to me. Some of you even received comments with her picture on here. I'm going to miss her so much, but I couldn't let my baby suffer, so I had to do what was best for her. Obviously, I'm heartbroken and have cried multiple times. I'm doing a few things online and then I may stay offline for the rest of the evening. Goodbye, my sweet girl. My sweet Doodles. Until we meet at the Rainbow Bridge. Photo Credit: Me.
