angelophileso..yeah... my dog was put to sleep this afternoon.
I'm not really a dog lover, we kinda ended up with or dog by accident, but after 12 years we've had her there's now something missing that's always been there.
Just not the same walking around the house without a little shadow.
Horrible decision to make. I wish she could have ded in her sleep or something. having to make the choice that her quality of life wasn' enough to keep her alive isn't an easy one to make. It was obvious to others outside of me and my folks that she was pretty unhappy though, and I guess that made the decision easier. Sometimes it takes someone from outside to see what you can't.
Anyway, she was put down this afternoon. Very quick and painless aparently. Strangely enough I'm more choked up about my dog than I was about my gran. various reasons I guess, the most obvious being that my gran was able to articulate that she wanted to die. When she did it was a relief of sorts. Judy didn't have that choice, we had to make it.
It's just odd. I keep catching glimpses of her from the corner of my eye, following me around at ankle level. But of course she isn't. Just so used to her being -there-.
Pretty unhappy just now.
