Guilt because the last few months of his life weren’t what I wish they were. In April, we decided we were ready to get another dog after losing our Pomeranian four years ago. My cat Sam, he was my best friend. We spent every hour I was home together. He always slept with me, followed me, jiggled my doorknob if I was shut in my room.. The definition of a companion. Once we brought the puppy home our relationship changed and I had even cried several times because of it. Bella (our pup) is very hyperactive and Sam was rather old (14 going on 15.) He did not tolerate her well. He stopped following me, stopped sleeping with me and overall what we had before came to a stop because he was very intolerant of her. He occasionally would visit me and say hello.. I feel so guilty. I still pet him everyday and spoiled him with treats and such but I always missed our dynamic. I had hoped she would calm down as she aged and got spayed and they’d finally get along but Sam didn’t live long enough to see that. I sometimes wish I could go back in time and not get Bella so that Sams last three months would be perfect. Last week he was diagnosed with cancer and it had spread to his liver and spleen. We got him two days of IV fluids and some steroids to try and get more time but overall he declined and we put him down today. The only solace I have is he spent his last few days eating a lot of treats and getting a lot of pets. I guess I just need to tell someone how I’m feeling because I feel awful.
