Goodbye, My Love...
...
Well, I'm upset right now...
My dog, Sammy, who has been a part of my family before I was born, is going to die on Friday... He's almost 16 years old, and he's blind. Normally, he can walk through my house without a problem, not bumping into things. Though, recently, he's been bumping into things nonstop, and it seems like he can't remember where he is. He even forgot who I was for awhile, and he started barking at me, something hasn't ever happened. Ever.
He seems like he's having difficulties walking, and so he sleeps. But because he sleeps so much, he eats less, and he's gotten skinnier. And even when he does eat, sometimes he can't handle it and ends up throwing up a bit. He's losing a lot of hair too. I love him to death, and it's really hard, but my family decided to put him down on Friday, because he's in pain.
Everyone in my family knows that Sammy is my dog, it's been that way since I was born, the day my parents brought me home. No, even before that. While my mother was pregnant with me, he used to sleep on her belly. Anyway, because he is my dog, this is hitting me the hardest. If I'm not on, or I seem less enthusiastic than normal, you know why.
This also hurts because, a few months ago, we gave away our Chinchilla, who we have had for five years, because there was no room (and he wasn't allowed) in our new apartment. So, even though I will still have a fish as a pet, there's no pet I can actually get close to, no pet I can touch. No pet to cuddle when I'm sad...
Well... I'm going to get off now, and spend some time with him.
Edit: He's gone guys... I miss him so much... he went peacefully... He was there for me at my beginning, and I was there for him at the end... He died with a smile on his face. It was a mischievous smile too. I bet he was up in heaven, eating Dove chocolate with my grandmother. She used to say, it was the only real chocolate... I remember he used to jump up on our tables where we wern't home and steal all the Dove Chocolate he could get... And yet, he was still kicken years later... He had a stomach made of iron... I miss him so much...
Bye,
May your time be a little more happy than my own.
Alex

Awww, i'm so sorry. I can also understand what it's like to lose a pet. A few years ago i lost my adorable pet iguana. It's very hard to get over, but i wish u the best. ~Marjorie ^_^

I too understand it will be hard to go through loosing a pet, you become so emottionaly attached to it that you dont want to let it go. I will as well think of you... But remember this would you rather have him in pain until he dies or would it be better for too pass onto the next world in peace.... It is his time to go on.... That sounds a little spiritual but it is what i believe in.... And i know how leaving a pet older than you is hard my cat is older than me and was with me before i was born i cant imagein what i'll do when she's gone.... good luck and my thoughts are with you ^_^

I understand what you are going through. a few years ago, we had to out down our dog that was the first dog I ever remember having. He had mouth cancer and wasn't able to eat very well anymore...He wasn't actually "my" dog, he was my sister's, but it was still sad. I wish the best for you and I will think about you tomorrow...~Ann
