Added 2018-12-19 03:17:37 +0000 UTCIt’s been a rough couple of days. My dog out of nowhere had a seizure on Saturday. To make a long story short, things just got worse and worse to the point where the tumor we didn’t know was there was trying to push his brain out of his skull. He ended up having to be on anticonvulsants which weren’t stopping the seizures which just kept coming. Monday, after being in emergency care and at three different vets, I was presented with there being no future for him, and had to “put him down”. I got to hold him as he took his last breath and his heart stopped. This happened so suddenly and escalated so quickly, it’s still kind of unreal. I have never loved like I loved this guy. I will miss him like I have never missed anything before. I will be back to drawing soon, but it might take a few days. Please take time to treasure your loved ones.

Thank you Mike. I thought about that. At first it seemed like one thing that would probably take him in a few months but two days later it was something that was killing him in the moment. Which is easier, which is preferable...? I’m just glad he’s at peace. Though I’d give anything to be with him.

2018-12-21 22:32:56 +0000 UTCI’d always had ideas for little one pagers about how joyful he was, but decided to wait until I needed the catharsis. So most definitely. They won’t be as sad as that one with Jane though. Sammy was full of life and happiness, so i want to reflect that.
