Description


.... Well, my dog Spike passed away today... I'm still grieving over all this. We had him since 2003 or 2004. I don't really remember but I know I was the first to hold him as our pet. So it hit me the hardest... 

Starting Wendsday (June 17, 2015) Spike got unusually weak all of a sudden. My mom thought he was dehydrated from the heat that day and though I didn't give him water that morning, witch I did. But he drank all of it. The bowl was bone dry. Next day he was worse. Same with Friday. After we came home from promotion night, our homeschool "graduation" event, we went to check on him and he barely made it inside his dog house. He was asleep on the steps we made for him when he was fat. Before then he was losing wight fast. But too quickly. 

So today on Saturday (June 20, 2015) my parents took him to the vet while my grandparents took us to go out to eat for Father's Day. While we were at Shakeys, my grandma got a text from my mom (or dad) that Spike was going to be put down. 

 Do to his old age (he was 11-12 years old in human years) and that he was so weak he had a slim chance of living even if we treated him. See, what my parents where told was he was diabetic and his heart and liver was large. Even if he seemed healthy he was slowly dying and we didn't even know it. 

 *sighs and wipes my tears away* Now I just feel bad for what I said this morning.... The last thing I said about him/ to him was, "Stupid spike, peeing on himself again." I regret that so much.... I didn't even... G-get to say g-good bye....
