...What to say.

Pardon me. This might seem a bit... ramble-y.
I'm sitting beside my best friend. She's been with me since we took her home twelve years ago. She was a puppy, who immediately ran into the living room to pee. After cleaning up the mess, we were fast friends.
Odd way to start a pet/owner relationship? Probably not, but I digress.
Today, I have to put her down. The appointment is a little less than an hour away, and I'm conflicted about how I feel. I know it's her time. Her back legs have gone out, her breathing is laboured, and she has been refusing some food and water.
I'm remembering how I basically grew up with her through my preteen and teenage years. I have a lot of memories of playing with her, of just talking with her when I've needed an ear (whether or not she understood me), of her 'singing' with me when I'd play my saxophone.
..Nn.
I'll miss you, girl.

But at least you'll always have the memories, and nothing stops you from still talking to her when you need, just because she's not there physically doesn't mean she still can't hear you. :)
