“I wanted to talk to you all about Steven…” i brought him up first
“Wait. Before you say anything, i spoke to Nick about him today also.”
“What?” I don’t really need to ask what. I know it’s about his deteriorating condition.
“I was telling him that… just awhile back, my friend put her dog down…” she started crying. Then i started crying. Put him down? I wasn’t even thinking about putting him down… i was thinking about risking him through the operation first.
“He’s so old already… when i walk him, he falls down and i have to carry him home.”
I just nodded. Throat closing in.
Cannot.
Cannot.
I’m sure it’s not easy to experience the death of your dog
But it’s different when discussions of putting him to sleep come up in the household
It’s not an occurrence by Fate then, it’s a choice we all are making.
Thanks to Deep, DreadlockedHenry and Kang who made me laugh, forget bout it for a bit and kept me company till late.
I have a shoot with AnnaCanBeatMeUp aka Anna Rina in two hours and… ugh basically i look like shit now.
Asked IceCalvin whether he wanted to come and kaypoh but he’s got another shoot today
See his work *here*
Lived through the death of my dog – I was 11.
I cried my bloody eyeballs out.
It’s gonna happen again, I hope not soon though- my dog’s 13 and a half- her inner ear’s damaged, she walks a bit off balance, and has cataracts.
I cry somedays just watching her, she’s still so beautiful though.
Sometimes people don’t get it, how it feels to lose a pet. And putting them down is different from them going naturally, that I agree.
*hugs*
Letting go is the hardest thing to do to most people…
well.. this is where your rosary comes in handy…
my dog died 12 years ago.
she was also a cocker spaniel.
until now, i still daren’t get a new dog.
to go through the whole ordeal (the death of the dog) is much too painful.
now, whenever i see a cocker (especially golden brown colour), all the memories come rushing back.
i miss her too much.
Oh babe ๐ *HUGS*
I grew up together with my dog. I saw him through the whole life process… from a new born to his death 5 months ago. He had been with the family for 15 years. He could not move for almost 1 week before his death. Initially, I was suggesting to put him down but my mom was against it. She said it’s not Buddhist’s way of doing things. It’s really heart breaking to see him suffer like that. Worst thing is that I know there’s nothing I can do because he is so old already. To me, it’s like losing a family member. I never want to go through this again.
I’m sure Steven has lived a good life. Some things are beyond our control e.g dogs have shorter life span than humans. I hope you feel better now *hugs*
