Venting because that’s the only thing that helps me.
TW: euthanasia, pet loss, cancer, sad stuff in general
As I put my hand on your chest, feeling your heart when it was giving me your last heartbeats I felt the price of love being torn away from my heart.

Backstory: my dog was diagnosed back in January with cancer, the tumor was located near his bladder and it was not possible to operate (99% that he would bleed out) and even though it all started few earlier, it was terminal and without any chance of remission, recovery or any of that stuff. I saw him shake once, got concerned and went to vet the next day but it was already too late and there were no earlier symptoms at all. It’s so frustrating because we lost before even starting. We decided to start chemo in pills which is the softer version to stop the tumor growth and make his life a bit longer, and it did. It gave him 9 more months of quality, painless, happy life. He was only 7 years old, it was my first dog that I dreamed of my whole life, I saw him at the animal shelter and he was at our house not even a week later. Sparky was so inteligent, a bit sassy, smart, loving, calm, such a distinct and expressive personality, I wasn’t even aware that was possible for an animal. I never experienced love for a living creature like this, once in a lifetime bond. My family spent all their and thousands and thousands to give him the best care thought his life in general but especially in his last months of life. As everyone expected the time had come and we had to euthanize him when he got worse because nobody wanted him to suffer. He got worse two weeks ago, everyone did all they can but the meds and treatments were not working anymore. On Saturday he visibly lost all his will to live and was done fighting (which i couldn’t never be mad at him for, he was so brave for so long, my perfect angel, the tumor was his only ever flaw) There is an infinite amount of things I can say about him, my feelings and this situation but I will limit myself to this.
I willI will share my conversation (or rather a monologue I had with my friend about this).
My friend: Buff... how hard, I couldn't [put an animal down] do it, so you were brave
Me:
it was more my parents decision but i agreed to it
honestly when i saw in what stage my dog was that day
i was thinking about this situation months ahead and i always thought
i could never agree to it
but when i saw him
how weak and sick he was
there was not a doubt in my mind
i hope you will never be in a situation like this
when you see your pet like this
and the look they give you
when they look deeply in your eyes like saying: I love you, now it’s my time.
(i am crying typing this btw)
i made that decision with a (of course) veeeeery heavy heart
but you do [make that decision]
and i repeat i wish you that NEVER happes to you
but i can guarantee you if you were in my position you could and would 100% do it
and everyone (except some psychos) would
he was not eating by himself for days (forced feeding) taking sooo many meds
had the energy to move but not the will
stopped cleaning himself
my dad was wiping his private parts with wipes
[Sparky] literally was so done with life he pissed himself inside the house
having IV daily for hours
heavy breathing, heart pounding faster than normal, having slight shakes despite being on a lot of medication
when it was already decided and my dad went to get the vet to come to our house
two hours before procedure
i was sitting with him in my garden
when i basically carried him in
his head on my lap
and he just gave my that eye to eye look
“i love you, it’s my time to go”
this shit is the hardest, most painful and saddest thing that ever happened to me
and i will never go a day in my life without thinking about him
his paw print forever tattooed on my body
i feel like the saddnes is rotting my body and my mind away
I will love you and cherish forever our time together my perfect boy ❤️🩹. Even though I’m not religious, everyday I am one step closer to meeting you again and that keeps me a going a little bit more. As I put my hand on your chest, feeling your heart when it was giving me your last heartbeats I felt the price of love being torn away from my heart.
