I know I’ve been super bad at blogging this week. But (un)fortunately, today has been much too blog-worthy.
My sweet, sweet dog Sarah died today. She was a 10-year-old, gorgeously brown, adorably overweight, pure-bred chocolate lab with the absolute sweetest temperament in all the land. When we found out she had cancer a few years back, we had it surgically removed, and she’d been fine ever since. But apparently over the past few days, Sarah had been acting very sluggish, barely eating or drinking. Mom took her to the vet today. After X-rays, they found a large mass near her spleen, and another one in her chest. The vet thought it best to go ahead and put her down. My family agreed. And so, they did…
After sobbing for about an hour, I couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed, as if anyone at the grocery store (where I found out over the phone from my Dad) might come up to me at any point and say, “Woah, Alyse, chill out! She was just an animal!” Well, she may have been just an animal to strangers, but she was pretty darn near human to me.
Thank You, God, for dogs. Dogs like Sarah.
