Yesterday was the hardest day of my life. I have no children but was the proud momma of Pugs throughout my life. I had Rose for 15 perfect years and I can't tell you how much my heart hurts. She died at home peacefully and I had prayed and prayed for it to be that way, because any dog lover knows, there is nothing worse than having to make that decision for them.
I laid her on her a/c vent that she loved to lay on her entire life and I laid down beside her. She raised her little head up at the very end and laid it across my face for a few seconds, then she laid it back on the floor and she left this world. I can't remember a time when I didn't have the sound of a snoring dog beside me while I typed. The silence is deafening.
I swore she would be the last because of how expensive it's become to have pets and because of how much I travel. No matter what, it's hard to fully enjoy yourself when you go places because you have the worry about a pet back home stuck in the back of your mind. Shame on Vets for charging the same as humans to go in for a visit. It was never like that just 20 years ago. Used to be $25 or $35 whenever I took my dog in for anything. With so many homeless pets, it's not wonder the shelters are overcrowded. The only vet open on a Sunday wanted $112 for the office visit and almost $400 to cremate her. My Aunt let me bury her in her backyard. I'm so grateful.
If anyone can spare a prayer or two for my broken heart and for quick healing and the ability to bear this awful silence I would appreciate it. Thanks for listening.
The sweetest Hufflepuff you could've ever met.
