Saying goodbye today. She was misdiagnosed with hyperthyroidism. We learned on Saturday that after months of treatment for elevated T4, she has a tumour the size of a small apple in her abdomen. The vet recommended euthanasia.

We're all shocked. I can't stop crying. Doing in-home euthanasia in a few hours. I'll miss her so much. It hasn't sunk in yet that I'm losing her.

She's 14. We adopted her and her brother at age 10.

I'm her favourite person and she's with me all the time. If she doesn't know where I am, she calls out for me. If I'm not sitting so she can be on my lap, she's asking me to pick her up.

She's leaving a void-sized hole in my heart.

I’m so sorry you are going through this. She is beautiful and it is sad and unfair what is happening.

Sending love your way, hopefully your cherished memories together will help you with knowing you gave her the best life possible. What is her name?

[u/AllofJane → u/zento_]

Her name is Maebe. We're one hour away now.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my "shadow" recently too (who actually had hyperthyroid and was skin and bones even though she ate 24/7) but I'll make sure to give my THREE voids extra love tonight for Maebe and you. Stay strong.
