One Bad Day

  So it has been official for 4 days since I had to put down my dog. I have lost a dog before; his name was Adam. I was hurt when I lost him too, but for some reason losing Sammy has hit me differently. 

I think the big difference was I knew Sammy when he was just a pup. I knew Adam when he was around 10. Losing both of them still hurt, but it just feels different. 

 Another big difference was with Adam he was hit by a car. ( clean hit not messy) and with Sammy we made the decision to take his life, but he was not really living to well. Sammy was no longer eating or drinking water. He was in pain and we had to help him. 

Sammy had a long life 16 years and my first dog Adam was 18 years old. I’m not sad we made the decision to put Sammy down, I’m just not happy that we had to do that.

 Every time I remember moments with Sammy I almost start crying, but I hold it back, because it would be weird at work. I do remember the good times with him and how much joy he brought our family. Sammy was able to assign all of us with who is his human for what job.

 I was his human for play, and food and car rides. My dad was for sun bathing and sleeping. My mom his main human mainly for almost all purpose’s.

Sammy will always have a special place in my heart. Right next to Adam.

I would say as far as my kung fu goes it was not great. I have no plans to stay in these sad times, but I need to keep moving forwards and eventually get to experience another one bad day.
