That’s why I stayed with my dog, and will always stay with my pets. He was very ready to go, you could tell. Injection wasn’t even half done before he was gone. But I was gonna stay. He had been there for me in the hard times. I wasn’t going to abandon him in his time of need.
.
It broke my heart, being there. But I stayed. I stayed and pet his head and talked to him. Told him to rest now, it was okay. I told him thank you, and I loved him. And that he was a good boy. I sang “Jesus Loves Me” to him like I used to do when I was a toddler.
.
I did all of this between the injections. The first one is to relax them, make them sleepy. And the second is to stop their heart.
.
I treasure those 5-10 minutes the vet gave me alone with him between the injections, no matter how much the memory stings
I don't understand how someone could LEAVE the room. I get the basic premise, but on a core level I can't really come to grips with it. I've had to put so many of my pets to sleep, and it's always one of the hardest things to go through, but leaving them to go through that alone would be far worse for me
Okay what the hell man. This is FUNsubstance. It’s suppsoed to be FUUUUUN. I come here to get s short reprieve from my sadness, not scroll into more of it.
