DeeDee

[atotalblamblam]

So tomorrow DeeDee gets put to sleep. Her body is riddled with cancerous tumors. All organs. Lungs, liver, and intestines the hardest hit. My greatest fear is that she'll die gasping and afraid. Last night I kept waking up because I couldn't hear her breathing, and I'd kneel down and she'd look dead, but I'd touch her face and she'd open her eyes at me. Tomorrow I think I won't go to work in the afternoon. That's all I want to say about that.


Outside it's hot and sunny. I still haven't gotten a job for summer. I am scared of a lot of things. I am city-sick like you wouldn't believe. I want out.

um wow, its been about a year since we put maggie to sleep. she went with a cool calmness. she was totally calm and at peace. the general consensus from everyone who has to do that is the dogs seem to know whats happening, and that it is time, but they go in peace.


it will be tough. i couldnt even stay in the room for her to be honest, but yeah. i dont really know what else to say. i went through it and it still all seems so fresh in my mind. but yeah, dogs are beautiful and special like that.

Thank you for your response. She did go in peace. It was really beautiful, in fact. She died on her bed in her own home surrounded by everyone she loved.

It's ok, these things happen. She lived happy and she died happy. Thanks.

I'm sorry that you have to go through that with your pet. They really do seem like your own children. :(

Kind of weird that I am posting on this now, but I found your nick through some thread (I forget which one), but I saw that you want to move to Sweden one day. I plan on moving there next year, so I thought maybe we could add each other.

Yeah, I grew up with her. She was like a sister.

Yes! Sweden! It's a pleasure to meet you, good luck immigrating, welcome new friend.
