My 21 year old baby passed away last night
My girl decided on her own that last night was her time to go. I’m absolutely heartbroken and I honestly don’t know what life looks like without her. She was my best friend, and my whole world basically revolved around her. I had just bought her more treats to make sure she was stocked up too.
For a little update, when we took her to the vet it was really obvious she wasn’t fully there with us anymore. The vet touched her back legs and they were ice cold, and when she listened to her heart she said it was beating very slowly. Her circulation was just failing from old age. I asked about putting her to sleep, but the vet told us she wasn’t in any pain and would pass on her own in time.
So we brought her home, and my boyfriend and I held her and cuddled her until she decided she was ready to go. She passed peacefully in her sleep, knowing she was loved right up to the very end. She was my everything, and I honestly don’t know how to move forward from here.
The picture is from about a week ago, it’s just her lying on her heating pad.
