Crushed
Dear Diary,
I had to put my dog down today. My heart is crushed. I’ve been so busy transitioning into my new job that I wasn’t paying close attention to my sweet boy. The last couple of days he’d been puking all over, not eating, and quite lethargic. My sister came by to let him out yesterday and noticed he’d lost quite a bit weight, that I hadn’t noticed until she pointed it out to me. How could I be so careless. I got him into the vet first thing this morning, where they took some blood work and I found out he had diabetes, a failing pancreas, and kidney failure. There wasn’t anything they could do for him. I’m at a loss right now. He was only 10. I cannot believe my boy is gone. It was the hardest thing in the world holding onto his paw as he slipped away. I haven’t stopped crying. I feel as if I failed him. I know I did. I’ve been so selfish.
RIP Sweet Boy! 💔

That Girl

I feel for you. Long ago I had a dog for 10 years. Came home from work and found him collapsed. Took him to the vet. Vet said I should go up state to Lansing veterinary school and hospital to see what was wrong with him. She did an X ray and found a large mass in him. Other alternative was to kill him. I opted for that. As he slowly died, I held his hand. I still feel shame that the last thing he saw was me, crying uncontrollably. Autopsy done, found he had cancer and never let on about it. A cancer growth burst and he was bleeding inside. I cried for over a week. Yeah, I can totally relate. That GUILT too of how could we not see what was happening? Now I have a bird. First pet in many years. Watching him or her to see if there is anything wrong. Yeah I feel yah here… been there.
@skobru I am so sorry that happened to your dog. How awful! Dogs are such wonderful companions. I really wish they didn’t get these awful diseases. They don’t deserve it. My heart continues to be heavy today. I haven’t had the heart to take care of his food dishes, toys, and bed yet. I know I should, but I cannot bring myself to do it yet.
Birds are fun. I had a parakeet years ago. I loved that bird. He was so cool. I still have a cat, who hasn’t left my side since returning home from the vet yesterday. He knows I am sad and he shows me tons of concern and love. He’s such a good kitty.
@hiddensadness I tried to send a personal message to, “that girl”. Not sure if that girl got it. Or I did it wrong. Names on here are confusing.
@skobru I’m not sure how that works. I saw that you had friend requested me, but when I went to accept it was gone.
@hiddensadness Ahhhh I see now. I remember clicking something. This site needs more clarity. Have not been writing here due to most folks seem to just bitch and moan. A lot of kids. I post thoughts and views etc on Facebook. Short friend list of folks I DO talk to. I try not to bitch and moan 😉 Did too much of that when I was … a kid like so many on here (laughs!). If you want you can run a search for Bruno Bruneau on FB.
