My boy is passing soon and im not ready.
My dog, his name is Skip, is 14 years old. I’ve had him since I was 4 and he was 4. But he’s old. And his breeds only let him live up to 14-15 years, we think he doesn’t even have a year left. We think he’s partially blind and nearly deaf. He pees in the house at night because he doesn’t even know, and he walks so slow. Hell sometimes just stare into space and fall asleep without completely laying his head down.
I’m so scared I’m gonna wake up one morning and just find him dead. I don’t want my boy gone. He lets me hold his paws without pulling away, he lets me hug him as long as I need to, he lets me sob on him. He always sits right by me in front of the couch or by it, nowhere else unless I’m in my mom’s bedroom or mine.
Everyone fucking leaves me when I need them and now it’s him. I know I have another dog, miso, but I haven’t bonded with her like I have Skip. I don’t want him gone, not yet.
