Awful news
9 years ago
It's getting really hard saying this everywhere so I won't go into too much detail, but it's important.
My beloved Siberian Husky, Mishka, tragically died yesterday morning from a seizure attack. We were used to them because of his epilepsy, but this was completely different, and just.. horrific. They would not stop. we had to carry him in a duvet out to the taxi, and he died on the way to the emergency vet.
I'm devastated. He'd only just turned 5. It's going to be so hard adjusting to a life and daily routine without him in it. He was honestly the best dog I could ask for.. the one thing that made him imperfect was his epilepsy, which had nothing to do with who he was. He was so gentle and sweet, and so ridiculous and hilarious, and beautiful inside and out. I'll love and miss him for the rest of my life, and I could not have asked for a better dog to be my first. it's just so horrible.. he was so young, and he went in such an awful way, and I was right there through it all. It was so hard leaving his body at the vet's, it was so hard saying goodbye. It was just so sudden, there was NO way to predict it (he'd been perfectly fine all day), and nothing that could've been done - even if I'd got him to the vet while he was still alive.
Everyone has been amazing. Luckily my mum was in Edinburgh, so she was able to come right over to be here and comfort me. She was so torn up as well - she'd never been a dog person until Mishka, and she cried with me and offered such sweet words and wisdom and it was such a comfort having her here. The whole family and all my friends are devastated, and I've received so many amazing messages, texts and phone calls from people who are offering so much sympathy and support, and it's been very humbling. at least I don't have to go through this alone. Everyone loved Mishka, so it means so much that he'll be remembered.
He's going to be cremated, and I'm going to take home his ashes in an engraved urn. I'm going to arrange that tomorrow. Some of his ashes will be scattered into the river he loved to swim in all the time.
I miss him so much, the pain is almost unbearable. I feel so empty and lost without him here. It's the hardest thing I've ever had to go through, and it's going to be so tough for a while, but I'll get better, and eventually I'll be ready to get a new dog to give my love to. But not yet, and not for a while. I need to grieve and just.. miss my dog. He was my pride and joy, my treasure, my best friend, my angel, my sweet darling boy, and he always will be.
Rest in peace, Mishka.
