People wonder why I have been so snippy, short tempered and on the brink of tears all week.
For those who aren't close enough to be trusted to know, I had to put my dog down this past Monday.
For those of you who just go 'oh it was just a dog' screw you. Get the hell off my page. Because I wont tolerate it.
On Monday January 20th, I had to put my little dog Miah down.
Honestly we waited too long. That poor dog probably was suffering more then she'd been living.
I was the one that held her through it all.
This was my first time experiencing the loss of a pet first hand. I'd never been present when the others were put down.
But Miah was my dog. She was MY dog. Yes she was a daddies girl and loved my dad, but she had always been my dog.
I do not grieve well and I sure as hell am having a hard time doing so.
Every day this week I have literally started to sob my eyes out because my dog is no longer home. Coming home to not having my dog here is something I'm not used to.
I grew up in a home where we always, ALWAYS had a dog. From as long as i can recall even back as a small child, we had a dog. This is the first time, in my life I've been coming home to no pet.
To me she was family, its like loosing a sister. Someone you grew to love and are attached to. I was not given time to grieve this loss, because my work places doesn't see loss of pets to be something you need time for. Which I find very stupid and inconsiderate. So I've been working through this and it hurts more then I can admit to. My mood has been shit all week. So if I have snapped at you, been rude or said shit I normally wouldn't of, please forgive me. I am not handling this loss well.
Yes I'm an adult, but when you loose a pet that you've had for the last 16 years of your life? It hurts.

It was also a very horrible time for me when we had to put our dog down
I feel just like you, to help me overcome it I composed a song and a video in memory of him.
Maybe it'll help you too:
