This isn't some weak attempt at a funny subject. This isn't a euphemism for anything.
My dog has diabetes. My puppy (not really a puppy - she's almost 9 - I just call her that). My sweet I-think-I'm-a-lap-dog Rottweiler.
And it's killing me. I don't want to play God and decide who gets to live and who doesn't. I don't want to put her to sleep if there is a shot at her living a great life, even if it means twice-a-day injections and monthly blood tests and who knows how long that would even keep her around. But I don't want to keep her alive just because I can't emotionally handle making the decision, for her to be miserable with twice-a-day injections and monthly blood tests. I want to make the right decision for her; I don't want to take into account how hard it would be on me and how much time it would take. I don't want her to grow to hate me because every time I'm around, it means pain on her part.
I don't know what to do. I just don't. I want someone to step in and make the decision for me. Tell me what the best option is; what's going to be best for my puppy.
It's killing me. Why does life have to suck so bad sometimes?
oh i'm so sorry kendahl!
ReplyDeletei had a cat for ten years that we had to put to sleep (he had infections that we tried and tried and tried to fix) when i was a sophomore in high school and it was really hard for me... i steer clear of animals in general because of that experience.
i'm not good at advice on this stuff, but maybe someone else is. either way, you will make the right decision :)
Oh sweetie. In this there is no wrong choice. Because you will make the choice based on your love for your "puppy". The thing about life is it contains both life and death and it comes to us all in various forms. I will be praying for you and your pet.

ReplyDeleteMy dog also had Diabetes...he was 10. We decided to put him down since he could go into shock and die if we were EVER late with his medicine. He was really sick...but since he was a big dog he was at his life's end anyway.
ReplyDeleteI hope your doggie does ok...
I am so sorry it's not fair!! My MIL's cat has diabetes and it's been a miserable process for her and she struggles with the same thing daily. Non of us know what to tell her. Some days you want to tell her to let him go and other days you can't. I hope it all works out for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry! I love you.
