Mourning 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.

Here she is in her final moments. Her brother, Cole, seems to know. He came out from his usual spot to be here.

Iā€™m so sorry, nothing is harder - this actually has me in tears. She clearly found her soul mate within you and remember she will always be your special girl. šŸ–¤ please take the time you need to grieve and find solace in knowing you were there for her and she had you in her final years. What a sweetheart.
