I can write about it so I know im healing - It was sometime in the morning while I was on the phone with my mother when I glanced over to see Max (my boy chihuahua) having a violent seizure in the kitchen. I imediately ran to his aid, I think it was almost a minute long. I bathed him and he ate some wet food I put on his sweater and cuddled him till he was completly relaxed, this is his first seizure and the first time i had ever witnessed something like that. But I remained calm and call my vet cousin for some advise. We decided to wait it out (which was a mistake) to see how he does. About four hours pass and I tuck him in on our couch to take a shower. This parts hard for me to write- while i was in the shower i heard a loud thud and i look out Max is seizuring on the bathroom floor( i think he started in the living room and went to find me :( and pushed his way through to the bathroom) this one did not stop after a couple of minutes i called my nana for a ride to the clinic - i knew what i had to do. I am studying mortuary science in college and even with the grasp on death that i have i never imagined how hard it could be. The vet techs had to dope him up on valum to slow down his seizure enough to put him down. I just held him and kissed his head telling him its time to be free of his sick body. I adopted Max when he was an estimated 6 that was in 2009. I cant begin to tell you the love he showed me and all that he gave my life. I took him home and buried him under my favorite tree. I once heard animals are servants in this world to teach people how to love - I miss him so much but im at peace because i know hes not suffering. ( thanks for reading give your babys extra kisses for Max)

Oh Dayja, you gave Max some of his happiest years of his life since 2009, and it seems that he knew this too. Doggy devotion is often underestimated, but not much compares to the depths and openness of canine love. We obtained our two dogs as adults from Rescue organizations, and their devotion is endless, despite only having them for a few years.

I can sooo relate to your relationship with Max. I cannot imagine losing either of our dogs. They do leave a big empty space in our lives, when they pass, because they infiltrate themselves into our lives so vigorously. Take solace in the knowledge that Max was with you when he passed, knowing full well how much you loved him.

You gave Max your final gift of life: A painless existence. He now exists in your heart and mind, never to be forgotten :heart:
