Have you ever had a pet that you loved so much you considered it a major part of the family. Like, one of your closest family members?
When i was about 9 my parents bought a Golden Retriever puppy, Jake. No joke, i considered this dog in my top 10 best and closest family members, you know, the ones that you cant number cause you love them all the same. (parents, grandparents, siblings, etc) I 100% loved Jake like i do my sister. He was simply, the best.
When i was 18-19 Jake got sick with a cancer that filled his chest with fluid. It made him unable to breathe and he had to have it drained out. We did this for awhile. Everytime he couldnt sleep from not being able to breathe we would take him to the vet, a personal friend as well, and she would drain it and jake would pass out asleep. Trying to come with terms with everything i asked our vet what we were susposed to do. She said "when hes ready, he will let you know". He did just that. One day he cried all morning. I had to go to work and i think more then anything i was trying to put what had to happen behind me for the day. My mom called me at work more then once telling me i needed to come home. My shift was over anyways but this stupid bitch woulndt let me leave, even after my mom came to my work! I finally got home right as the vet did. Enough time for a hug and the "Everything will be ok" speech to Jake. Our vet came and did what she needed. She cried, we all cried.. and jake slipped away.
It was Valentines day.
We buried him in our family cemetery at my grandparents house.
I guess my point of this whole thing was to try and let people know how weird i think it is that animal cruelty exists. How can someone NOT love a dog or cat they have had for 10 years. How can they just push them aside or throw them out like trash rather they be dead or alive... I dont get it. I think the worst thing a person can say is "they/it are just animals"
Heartbreaking.
I miss jake more and more everyday. Sometimes i still go to my moms and think, "i have food, i bet jakes going to be happy" or thinking im going to walk in and hes going to be there... I hate living without him.
This is Jake
After his first draining
He was a big boy! 120 pounds!
