Have you ever lost a pet? If not, I hope you never experience it. Its a pain that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Well maybe my worst enemy...
So today I lost my cat Toto. I had him for seven years, since I was six. It not only sucks because I ,you know, lot my cat and all that, but because he might as well have been my brother, my best friend, and everything in between. And if you haven't guessed, I'm crying hysterically while writing this. I' just trying to get it all out.
So it all went down like this: I'm in math desperately trying to pay attention in math class when I get a call slip fro the office. At that point I'm just like SWEET. So I grab my bag and basically sprint down the stairs. When I get to the office, I see Colle ( my stepdad, don't ask why I call him by his name, I just do) was crying. So then I'm like OH MY FUCKING GOD WHAT HAPPENED (!!!) even though I already knew, Toto was already in the vet/hospital by then because of some bladder issues . So on the drive there, Colle was explaining what happened and that it was okay to cry and all the other stuff people tell you when someone is dead or dying. But I wasn't listening, I was just breaking down.
When we go there, we had to wait for my mom, all while crying, listening to sympathetic nurses, and having to watch Toto through a cage with a glass front so he could get oxygen. When my mom gets there, we're allowed to open the cage and pet and talk to him. That is until the doctor is ready to, you know, do the thing. So then after what seemed like the longest three minutes of my life, we wrap him up in his blanket and I carry him to the car, and we head home.
And that's all of it up until now. So my advice is to just try to stay positive and think happy thoughts, no matter how impossible it my seem.
