Sometimes pet parents don't want to stay when they euthanize... sometimes they just sign them over and drop them off.
I'll let you know right now that everyone of those pets, be it rabbit, cat, dog, or rat, have never left this earth alone.
They each get special care and privileges.
I'll give a dog ice cream, cookies and yums yums to his heart's delight. Forbidden foods so sweet to the tongue. The last meal of a king or queen.
They get a soft blanket and a comfortable place to rest in their final moments.
I'll hold their paw, gently stroke their ears and whisper to them.
They will hear I love you one last time as they slip into a peaceful sleep.
Afterwards, when they are gone, I'll still hold them close, petting them.
It doesn't matter what brought them here. It only matters that they are comfortable and happy in their final moments. They were someone's light and joy, they were the smile waiting for you at home, they were the toy fetching , purr machine, squeaky happy little thing that brightened someone's life.
They deserve a good ending and I make sure of that.
It's maybe the one part of my job that I take extra care in.
So when you get home to your happy wagging friend. Give them a hug, tell them I love you, just don't take them for granted.
