K.D. Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Two weeks since my friend left. Still feeling crushing pain. One memory that has burned into my brain is leaving the emergency hospital empty handed, except for his collar. I was unable to take him to his regular vet, since it was late at night. It was a bad experience. The vets were swamped, busy saving lives, so a euthanasia was probably low on their list. They told me to say my goodbyes and let them know when I was ready. After I let them know, I had to wait an hour for the doctor to come in and give him the drugs. An hour waiting for the lethal dose. Then I left empty handed. To honor my small friend, I donated 15 copies of various pet bereavement books (including 5 copies of yours from Amazon, Marty ) to his regular vet, asking that they make them available for free to pet owners when it comes time to leave the clinic after losing their friends. That empty handed walk to the car is the worst thing ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon C Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Know exactly how you feel. I had the same Saturday just gone. Walking out with just collar in hand. I'm heartbroken. My little pooch I miss so much my belly hurts. Kind thoughts and love to you. X 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
