I had to have Chloe put to sleep this morning. She had a tumor the size of a golf ball on top of her head and a couple more around her nose and eyes, which made it very difficult for her to breathe, and she went blind due to severe glaucoma.
It broke my heart to see her like that and I didn’t want her to suffer anymore. After the vet gave her a sedative I spent an hour cuddling with her until it kicked in, then the vet gave her the euthanasia drug and I hugged and petted her to comfort her until she stopped breathing and her sweet little heart stopped beating. It was so hard to say goodbye and accept that she wasn’t going wake up again.
Rest in peace, Chloe. You’re in a much better place and I’m thankful for the six years we had together. There will always be a special place in my heart for you.
