For me as a parent is telling my children that their animal has died.
Three days ago Samantha's rabbit died. He was old and it looked peaceful, like he laid his head down and went to sleep.
Today I was woke up by the hubby saying "get up, it's important." He knows I wake up slow so he repeated it. I get up and he says let's go outside. I can't find my shoes cause without coffee my brain is extra slow. Then he says "Spy is dying" Who needs shoes, I just go outside.
Some of you might remember that it's one of my dogs pups that we gave Vanna for her b-day.
This brought back so many memories of what happened to Fatso. I know Spy was fine at about 1:30 am. Him and his brother were up barking, his bark is very distinct, no question that it was him.
So now what the hell do I do? Do I wake her up? his brain is gone, but his body is holding on. Do I let her sleep, then tell her? I ended up waking up Megan. She is our emotional child so I asked her what she would have wanted. She said wake her up, she needs to say goodbye.
Hot damn, I felt like my heart was ripping out my chest. She said goodbye, she gave him a kiss then she cried until there were not more tears.
He was 8 months old, and now I just hope whatever it was doesn't happen to the 3 other pups.

Sorry you had to go through that, though.
