Walking the driveway
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)
