Today was the hardest day of my life. None of you knew, but my 13 year old Shih-Tzu, Shug, had cancer. And he’s not been well. Today he woke up throwing up and wailing in terrible pain, and even though I could have kept him alive with painkillers, I knew it was time to let go. As I watched the life drain from his body, I felt the most horrific pain I’ve ever felt. I watched my best friend, the one taught me how to truly love, die. It was the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life. And leaving him on that table was almost more than I could take. I loved him and always took care of him the best that I could. I will love my little man forever. And even though the pain is absolutely horrific now, I know I’ll have an angel watching over me. I know some of you have written similar things, and now I can empathize. It’s truly the worst hurt I’ve ever felt. He was my best friend for 13 years.
