Just 6 hours ago, I had to say goodbye to my best friend; Piper. She wasn't around our household for very long, almost 2 years, and she was only 8 and a half years old. Here I am; 16 years old, finally learning real pain. I chose to sit there, and watch my dog put to sleep before my very eyes.
I couldn't stop crying, I was in heartbreak. Hating myself, because I wish I could've done more to help. But we couldn't, her medical issues were going downhill and we were very tight on money. No matter what us and the staff tried, we couldn't find the best results. I didn't want her to suffer any further, so we did what had to be done.
Speaking of the staff; they were so kind and nice to us. They gave Piper treats, they gave me moments alone with Piper, they allowed me to stay and hold her as she gave her last breaths as she died in seconds. They gave me quite some time alone after that. As soon as they left the room? I broke down... Crying, loudly, as I gripped onto Piper tightly. One Staff Members walked in after the 5 minute request was over.
They must've saw me; crying, soaked with tears, sobbing loudly. In that case, I received more time alone. It eventually became 20 minutes as it was finally time to go home with our dog. Overall; the Staff was so nice and kind after seeing and knowing what I was going through. It's been 6 hours, and Im still tearing up on occasions.
I would like to just take this moment to thank all of the Staff who work here; they're very nice, and they really do their best to help. From checking on your pet, helping your pet, or allowing you to say goodbye to your pet and see them. For the very last time.
Again. Thank you Staff Members, so much. You really made my Goodbyes special, it really does mean a lot to me.
