It's over.

5 of us got in the car.
My brother was at a sleepover.
I was sniffling when we walked in.
They explained the procedure and i started crying a bit.
They took her away to put in the catheter.
When she came back she was really nervous and made sure my hand was on her the entire time.
We moved her to a soft blanket laid out on the floor.
The vet came in and gave her a sedative.
Now I was full-out crying.
My mom started crying.
The vet left us for a bit to comfort her. we hugged her and petted her.
The vet came back in and gave her the final injection.
She put her head down and slowly fell asleep.
Jenny, my mom, and I were sobbing.
My dad was fighting tears but failing.
The vet checked and said "okay she's gone" and left us.
We all sobbed and hugged her.
When we were ready I kissed her on her head one last time.
I tried to hold on to the memory of her soft fur.
4 of us left.

13 years.
13 years and 4 months.
My birthday is 4/13.
Today is the day she died.
Today is my names day.
What a gift.

Death isn't easy for anyone, whether it is a brother, parent, dog or a friend that leaves. just stay strong and think about the memories
