Moose was found in a box on the railroad tracks with 7 other puppies, their eyes not even opened yet. We bottle fed him and raised him in our family. He was much more than a dog….always the protector, the comforter, always there.
How do you deal with hole in your heart and soul?
The pain is so physical.
Moose died of bloat…we got him to the emergency vet before his stomach twisted and the next day was given a guarded he’s going to be fine. But it was not to be…he had incurred damage to his heart and was put down to prevent further suffering.
As he was lifted onto the table for the final shot, he kissed me through his muzzle as if to say it’s ok mom….I forgive you. I don’t think I can forgive myself. I feel like I failed him somehow. He was so special.
And he is so badly missed.
We love you and will never forget you.
