I write this broken hearted having to put my dog of 16 years down not but an hour ago. She was blind, had canine cognitive dysfunction, and arthritis, among other issues. But that is not why I put her down.
Tonight while watching a family movie my Coco started having seizures. They came one after another the entire 20 minute race to the ER. I cried the whole way because I knew this was it, it was time. She was suffering because of me. Because I was too selfish and weak to do the right thing and let her go sooner. I always knew it should be done, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I lived with this dream she would pass in her sleep. Instead I had to watch her suffer all the way to the ER, and rush everything with letting her go and not getting a proper goodbye.
I write this for those of you like me who avoid the pain every day while you struggle with the decision. Don't wait too long, you will regret it. I will never forgive myself.
