...I've had to ever experience happened today. It seems so silly, but it's ripping my heart out right now. My parents just took their oldest dog, Gabe, to be put to sleep. Gabe was my buddy. I got him as a senior in high school and we were inseparable for the few years after that I attended community college and lived with them off and on. Every time I would visit, it was like we were never apart. So, I feel like I've lost a best friend today...and it's even harder not being there, knowing how terribly hard this is on my parents.
Why do animals grab hold of our hearts so viciously? For the past two days that I've known it might happen, I've been a crying mess which is not the typical me. My mom just sent me an email and said that it was done. I told her yesterday that I didn't want her to call me because I knew I wouldn't be able to talk to her without becoming a blobbering mess...and she didn't need that on top of dealing with her own emotions. So, it is over. I keep remembering all the fun times Gabe and I had together...he was such a great dog and did the funniest things, so I have the best memories...which I guess is what is making it so tough to deal with.
Anyway, this post is just my way of spilling my emotion so I can hopefully stop being a basketcase. Sorry to be a debbie downer today. In honor of Gabe...a great dog and buddy...

I'm sorry friend... that's so hard.
Awww, I'm sorry to hear about this.
I know it's tough, but it sounds like Gabe lived a very good life because of you and he certainly made a difference in your life as well. Both of you were very fortunate to have each other.
