Shitty day today.
I had to put down my daughters cat this afternoon. She was sick, and I would never make an animal suffer. Pet’s become part of the family, and even though I am a dog person, and always have been, it hurts to lose a pet, they become part of the family. The worst part is the utter heartbreak my daughter is feeling. She’s nine, and she’ll get over it. Unfortunately my kids, 9 and 12, have been around alot of death in their short lives in the family. It’s part of life, but to a nine year old little girl “its just not fair”.
I took her to the vet, and I stayed in the room when they put her down. It was awful, and my stomach has been turning steady since. I will be taking my dog for a walk soon to get some air, and I will be doing my Power 90 cardio tonight as well. I worry that I will be going through this again soon with my German Sheppard who is 13.5 years old. She is failing alot this last year, and while not in pain, I don’t want to keep her going when her quality of life degrades. That will be very tough for me, I brought her home the night I moved into this house as a 5 week old puppy. I have lost many pets through my life, and it doesn’t get any easier. I just wish I could make my little girl feel better.
