(D & R) If your name was Rover you would not have suffered!

You lasted four days without water and were given a constant flow of intravenous pain relief and top up shots when you cried out in pain. We all stood around waiting and hoping you would die and never before did we ever wish for that. When you died you were skin and bones.

I wish I could have taken you to the Vet; that way I could have had the Vet put you to sleep in a 'compassionate' way.

I have not thought about rebirth as yet, you are to be cremated this Thursday but after you died, I went home and fed my Dogs and I looked into their eyes. They were both quiet. It was as if they had sensed my grief.

Sometimes the Dogs seem almost human and I have often thought that maybe they were human beings before they were born as Dogs this life? After seeing what you went through, I can totally understand that choice.

Your grief is a testament to the love you had.

excellent piece of writing.
