We had to put down my childhood dog a few days ago.
I wasn't able to be there since I live in a different state. My sister had called me and said that she was declining rapidly. I was just there for a visit a few weeks ago. I was shocked at how thin and not-herself she was. Then, on a Saturday, we were on FaceTime when she said it had to be today. For my sister to admit this was a big deal, she had been holding on for so long and finally realized that Maggie was in pain. She was suffering.
