Zeus. My Husky. My best friend.

Okay. So every time I write on this blog a ton in my life has changed. Well just a little while ago I had a huge change in my life that I truly didn't want to see come until years down the road because I never wanted it to happen but I knew someday it would.

My baby. My Husky. My Best Friend. My Zeus.
The one I knew I could always count on. The one by my side since I was 11. The last 8 years.
Memories. Love. My heart. My sweet old man. Went to be with the lord in heaven. To make it all so much worse emotionally, I had to make the decision to put him down at the vet office. I know now that it was the right thing to do for him to keep him from suffering and living in pain. But in the time leading up I was in a kind of denial that it may be coming sooner than I wanted it to. But as time went on I gave it a lot of thought about if it had to happen where I would want him buried what I wanted to do. How would be the best way. I knew I wanted to be with him. I knew I didn't want him to be alone and scared in his last moments. I decided I wanted him buried under our weeping willow tree in our backyard. I still could not bare to talk about these thoughts in my head. As  I made vet appointments, Paid for antibiotics, Cleaned his infected eye, tried to help him breathe easier from what I thought was bad allergies with benedryl. My family assumed I was in denial. I wasn't I just couldn't bare it. I has now been a while and I have been working on this post in little bits since that day. I don't know when this will be posted. He was more than just a pet, more than just a dog, He was my baby, my protector, my everything. He was always there for me. I had to be there for him and make sure I was making the right decision. In that moment; my heart was shattered. But, it was the right thing for him. Seeing him there able to breathe, and sleep, and relax, and snore, and take his last breath. He was at peace. I knew that right then. He went to be with our Lord and Savior. and I know he is running all over and watching over me. As a type this its still very hard. But I know I will be with him again someday. I will still miss him everyday, I may breakdown every time I find something that used to be his or reminds me of him. At least for a little while. But I could have never asked for a better past 8 years with him. I was overly blessed to have him as a part of my life. God definitely knew we needed each other.
Now that this chapter in my life is over. I knew ending his suffering was the right decision even if my heart was going to shatter by doing so.. I love you so much Zeus. Thank you for being my best friend for so many years. <3
