Well its with a heavy heart I decided to write this post, not sure why but maybe just to vent and expel some sadness from within and cope with what's been happening. I don't have any one to really talk to or care to share this with in real life and know a lot of people in community's like this, usually for the most part have or understand the spiritual , emotional connection that can be had with companion animals.
About a week before Christmas, my eldest dog "Mischa" who's 18 years old and will/would be 19 this new years 2026 had a horrible fall and toar her ACL on her leftf hind leg really bad the Friday before last.
We have all been sleeping in the living room the last week and a bit so as Mischa is contained to the living room and doest have stairs to climb up and down to our bedroom.
Things were going fairly good till late last night earring morning today, where she had another bad fall while we were on a bathroom break in the yard and appears she has torn her other legs ACL, so that's both hind legs ACLs
She's not in pain, but is unable to walk unassisted. I'm Currently having to Towle her hind legs when we go out side for bathroom brakes and to move around etc.
We will be going to the local vet Monday morning, unfortunately the outlook doesn't sound favorable.....
It's a tough decision to have to make, that one must weigh everything out and make one if not the hardest decisions ever when having an animal in their care....
I've spent 19 years of my life with this Girl! Some of the best times, and also some of my worst times in life.
No matter what was thrown at me (Us) she was always a solid rock in my life when i needed to lean on something, she's been a shoulder to cry on, an ear to talk to when I needed someone to listen and someone to hug and kiss when I needed some love in my life.
We have made so many memories, been on so many adventures and never become board of each other's company!
I always felt like a rock star everytime I've walked in a room or came home! the highlight of my day was always coming home to my loyalty companion.
After many years of life and having to part ways with a few companions in both sudden and planed end of life partings, I'm not sure which one is harder, knowing and being able to spend the last time with them or not being able to spend that time when it happens suddenly.
I guess neither are optimal....... I'm trying to keep my emotions in check and not stress her out but not gunna lie, it's hard to keep my self together knowing our paths will soon be parting ways
We have made a nice cozy nest on the living room floor, lots of throw blankets some sleeping bags, pillows; have some movies to watch and will keep her comfortable and spend some time together. Will dig through ths freezer and find her some nice comfort treats for her to enjoy.
Her cat brothers have been sleeping near by and her 16 years old sister is sleeping beside her and me. I feel everyone can sence something isn't right/happening
We will spend this time with her making her feel loved and comfortable until monday. I'll talk her ear off and give her lots of cuddles and kisses.
19 years spent together, she's never hurt me or made me sad, it's true what they say about animals and how they will only break your heart once in their life.
They come into your life and leave paw prints on your soul (And throughout your house) they also take a peice of your heart when they go.
She's been the absolute most amazing partner to have had by my side throughout my life, ive been looking at photos we have taken over the years and how small she was and how young I was when we first hooked up; to how old we both have gotten over those 19 years together.
How time Flys by.. She will always be loved, Always be Missed and will forever be cherished and remembered fondly!
