Description

"It's me, Pebbles... Your boy..."

:cry:

My dog Pebbles has not been very well for a while, although it wasn't until shortly after the start of the new year did it dawn on me just unwell she had become. Far as I know, there are two major problems: an out-of-control bladder, and complete blindness (hence her eyes). The vet says she probably won't last the rest of the year. But while she gets lost and bumps into things, she doesn't seem to be in pain, so there's no need to... put her to sleep... quite yet. Diagnosis is cancer on her kidney, from what I recall, and probably another tumor's the one that's screwed her vision up. There's gonna be another checkup next weekend.

I've been in a funk all day. Been crying too, when I think too hard about it and what she has to go through. Eyes are all red from the tears... Forgot to make them look that way in the pic itself, dangit... I feel like I failed her somehow, like I should've been there for her more. Since she was "my dog" and all. Eventually, I'll feel better. Eventually, I'll move on. But for now, I sob, knowing it won't be long before we lose another valued member of the family.

It won't be easy, getting used to having a house without a dog in it... But I'll find a way. At about fourteen years, she's lived a good life, and she'll be going on to a well-deserved rest.

May her last days be happy and free of pain. Amen.
