I may need a break + great loss
6 years ago
General
as the title says I may need a break , a couple of days to recover after all the stressful things that happened this month with our dog Jaggi
this morning was very very difficult
we had to rush to the vet ER at 4am and put our beloved dog to sleep
there was no way we could let him go on like that
it was like a bad dream....
it's been a difficult battle , one I've been dealing with for months , caring for our dog who's health started to tank greatly this year ....
and well the mom's been very difficult during those times too ....
and it's been wearing me down so much
but now
It's over , he's gone no longer in pain or suffering
it was rough this morning for him and for me n the mom
his cries are burned into my brain and I tear up now thinking im hearing his pained cries again
so.. yah , bear with me if I'm distant or slower / unresponsive or something , but this was the biggest thing going on in my life this year , it's been weighing me down greatly for months
I'm pained he's gone but there's also a numbness and sense of relief
we loved him , he was more of a mama's boy but i was the big sister who'd technically babysit him and stay at home with him so he never felt alone
there were times I'd go insane there were times I'd get frustrated over him , but I always loved him
He was a very good dog , a sweetheart , he'd sometimes fart himself awake or twitch and bark in his sleep
he'd rub his butt against my mom's exposed toes while she tried to sleep and would moan out
then i'd cackle out loud from my room and wake the mom oops
he loved rides to the beach , running in the sand , he hated going near the water tho OTL
he used to hop up on my bed when i wasn't looking and go under the covers groaning and throwing himself around being a butt and undoing my hard work of making that bed
pfffffs
it was a very difficult time but now that I look back on it the good memories outweighed the stress I've endured
he was worth it all
<333333333 Rest in Peace Great Jaggi , you will be missed but will always be loved and in our hearts and the memories we will hold dear <333333333
We'll never forget you booboo

Take all the time you need. Take that mental break and chill. Doodle some personal work if it helps, yeah? Nothing you have to share, of course.
I think many people here understand. <3 It's good to think of yourself once in a while when you really need it. I'm glad he is at peace now.
