I have to get this off my chest, and I'm not looking for pity or sympathy.
Tonight was supposed to be Will and I's usual fun day/evening. We typically play games together, normally PC games cause we're big PC Gamers, I just got him into my Palia addiction, but we do other games too. We catch up on the shows we missed throughout the week because of his work schedule. It's also a good time to dip deep in my Little Space and his Daddy Space. It's the one day we have usually to shake off the week's stresses and be together.
However, I was woken up earlier than usual to the sounds of our old girl, Raven, making one of the most ungodly noises I've heard from her. Come to find out from Will, she'd been having something called Synopses. They're like seizures, but not quite, brought on by her heart murmur and old age, she'll be 16 in January. Maybe. Which is old for a dachshund. The vet says if they don't get better or if she doesn't pass on her own in the next few days, we'll have to help her across the rainbow bridge medically, so she doesn't suffer any. That's that last thing I want for her.
She had a very hard life before we adopted her at the shelter ten years ago, about a day or so before they were going to put her down. She was a bait dog, before the evil and disgusting people that had her dumped on a busy highway. She has her scars. She only had a teeny bit of gray around her mouth, when we brought her home. Now, her face is so gray, we tease that she's got a racoon mask on. The top of her head is grey. Her paws are gray, so is her belly and just the underside of her tail. She's gone deaf and blind in the last few years. Her nose still works like a charm tho!
We had Midnight, before her and he took to her easily, but she didn't take to him so easily. He wanted to clean her face, but she'd growl at him, so he'd just sit there and keep her company, or eat her food. XD But eventually, they became two peas in a pod. All honesty, I expected her to go long before my baby boy, Midnight, who'll be gone a year this Halloween. Still shreds me up inside. I feel like an idiot. I bonded more with Midnight than her in the years. Not to say I don't like her or won't miss her, because I do, and I will. I just feel bad that I didn't. Will did, him and her are the best of buds, she's his other little Princess.
I just expect to spend the day and all night watching with the impending dread of her last breath, of another episode. Of thinking what it'll be like not having any animals in the house, because Will doesn't want any more after she's gone. Can't say I blame him. This part of having a pet sucks ass. The house already seems empty.
