@osimoky: I haven’t really talked about what happened. Which, thankfully, wasn’t sudden. Sara Jane was 12 years old. She had a brain tumor. She made it further than I expected because of her health complications and physical deformities. I think she personally held on so long simply because I asked. I needed to get through some graduations for friends, needed to get through a crazy period of work, and needed her with me. Nearly immediately after that all came town close for me, I think she knew it was ok. She started having constant minor seizures. I could see she was struggling to walk, struggling to enjoy things she liked, was deeply uninterest in food. And for her? food was everything. Hikes were her second favorite thing and she didn’t even want to go around the neighborhood. I knew. One of the last pictures I have of her, you can see her ears aren’t even able to be fully engaged. And she had satellites! Radars. Always pointed in a direction to listen. I had an in home euthanasia for her, which I am so thankful for. The doctor was kind, patient, and talked us through everything. She was comfortable, in her home, feeling safe. Kuiper was able to know what happened and say his goodbyes. It was hard. Of course it was, but the service was perfect and everything I could have ever asked for. El was with me for the process and I am so thankful. Not having to face that alone was a blessing. Forever, Thank you. I still look for her. Still cry. I am thankful for every dream she is in. I still hear her collar jingle sometimes, and of course say hi. I haven’t moved her leash from where I set it on our last walk. And of course, I’m still cleaning up dog hair. I honestly hope I never stop. It’s a sweet reminder of her. And im not ready to lose that. I miss her. Kuiper misses her. Gods does he miss her, and it’s so hard to watch him struggle. I am thankful he is with me. Sweet boy. Oh and I’m moving? So it’s been. A lot. Thank you all for reading this far if you did. Thank you all for hanging out while I grieve. I know there will be repeat content while I can’t will myself into creation. But the comments from you all I do get still make me smile. You are noticed. You are appreciated. #loreleiwoods #petgrief #bodypaint
