Today was the day. The day I had to put my dog down. I had been dreading this day for 3 weeks and made the best I could out of those days with Winston.
I got dressed in leggings, a blink-182 shirt, and galaxy vans. I let my hair down and put my glasses on.
"Come'r baby" I said while tearing up. This is my last day with him. My last day.
I put him on his leash and went out to the car. "Up" I commanded and he jumped into the car.
Thoughts jumble my mind about what I was gonna do without him.
'County Dog Pound' is what the sign read.
"Hey Winston. come." I said while holding his favorite treat. He jumped out of the car and came over to me.
"Good boy" I said in the voice everyone does when they talk to dogs.
I realized I was already starting to tear up.
"Deep breaths, deep breaths" I kept telling myself.
This is one of those times that I wish I had my parents with me. They kicked me out when I was 17 because they thought I was a horrible kid.
I wasn't though. I was just an average teenager. I haven't talked to them since that incidence 3 years ago.
Ugh. This is making me even more depressed.
"Hello" The lady at the front desk said in the most fake voice ever (a/n: idk how pounds work since I've never been to one so yeah) "Hi, My name is Catherine" I said with a sad tone.
"Ah, you are here to put down Winston. Am I correct?" She asked.
I nodded my head while clutching onto the leash knowing that if I said another word I would start bawling. She led me to a very depressing looking room.
I noticed a very handsome tall guy with a blonde quiff at the other side of the room.
"Okay. Say good bye to Winston now" The lady said with a sweeter voice.
I knelt down and looked at him. He had such a happy expression. One I will never be able to see again. His ears were flopped against his head and his tounge was sticking out with his mouth curved at the end like a smile.
"Hey buddy." I started. "Listen. You are the bestest friend I have ever had. You listened to me whenever I needed you to. You would cheer me up whenever I needed it. You were always there for me." I realized I had tears coming down my cheeks at this point. "You have to promise me that no matter what you will always be there for me." I just looked at him while crying.
"This is the last time I'm going to be able to see you ever. I won't wake up to you cuddling with me, keeping me warm. I won't be able to be cheered up on bad days."
"I'm gonna miss you Winston. I'm gonna miss you"
I finished and just stayed like that for a minute playing with his floppy ears.
I looked him in the eye and said "I love you Winston" And pecked his forehead.
The woman took her into the room with a glass wall so I could watch. I walked up to it to see them inject the shot.
"NOOO. PLEASE STOP" I yelled while snot and tears were steaming down my face. I turned around and sunk down against the wall with my head in my knees and just cried. and cried. and cried.
I finally got the nerve to look up. There was only one person left in the room, the tall quiff dude.
He smiled at me and it made me feel a bit better.
"Come here. It looks like you could use a hug" I obeyed and embraced him. I stood there getting his shirt wet with tears.
"It's all gonna be okay" Is what he kept repeating to me. Somehow I believed him.
