Oct 3 We had to put my daughter's dog, Dolphin to sleep. Her condition deteriorated sharply and she was in a lot of pain for far too long from a rapidly growing tumor. My daughter handled it as best she could... but somehow she felt she wasn't reacting as she thinks she's expected to react. Which broke my heart more. What the hell has she dealt with while I was not around... How would she be made feel this way...
The house is far much quieter now and it's deafening.
I couldn't stand not being able to help Dolphin out as she was in pain. Even with the meds I gave her. Her brother is trotting around looking for her... I hate this.
Sharing tears with my daughter over this, I'm glad she was here and was able to come to terms with it. Rather than just one stupid short visit where she asks where the dog was, and having to leave before getting to process why she's gone.
We were up most of the night, until we were finally able to have her seen. My daughter and myself were quiet exhausted the rest of the day... Octobers always seem to be a bit heavy for me...
