leighblack: (Riley - Big Ears)
[personal profile] leighblack
The appointment has been made for 7am tomorrow morning. I've never heard my dad sound as sad as he did when he just called to tell me. I absolutely cannot get off of work so I will not be able to be there. Knowing this would probably be the case, I said goodbye earlier today but it still feels wrong. I should be there with my baby tomorrow. =(

Goodbye, my sweet Riley. I hope you've enjoyed your time with us as much as we've loved having you with us. You're the best dog anyone could ever ask for and you'll be missed by more people than I can count.

He had a good life - the best. I know, it's stupid and trite souding, but I've been there, and it does help. It's also the truth.

*calls in a bomb threat to work so you don't have to go in*

Thanks.

Sadly, I don't think a bomb threat would even work. One of my co-workers just had a baby a few days ago(well, his wife did) and they're still making him come in. It's been a bad couple of weeks. =/

Oh, sweetie. *big hugs* He's an adorable doggie... and I know what you're going through. My doggie passed away when she was 16, and it was heartrending.

Not much to say, really... :/ *hugs again*

He's 13 1/2, which is very good for a Scottie. It's actually been kind of amazing that he's been around this last year.

Oh, so sad to hear about Riley. I never met him, but from the pictures I've seen, it looks like he was a sweet, lovable, happy dog. My condolences to you and your family. I wish bereavement time off could be counted for pets. It totally should.

I'm so sorry about Riley, Leigh. I know how much you love him and how hard it is.

Just know that he was such a great dog because he was so very loved.

Oh honey, if there's anything I can do let me know okay? I've been there, and it sucks. And not being able to physically be there, is just worse. *hugs you again*

I'm fine right now. I don't think it's really hit me yet, but it will once I'm at my parents house and he's not there anymore. =(

I'm so sorry honey. I wish you could be there with him, because I know it'll be hard not to be there (my Odie was put down and I wasn't able to get off work to be there either, so I completely understand how you must feel), but I'm glad you got to say goodbye. *hugs*

I'm okay right now. I think it would be worse if I had been there and then tried to come in to work afterwards. =(

I am so sorry :( I lost a pet when I was 12, we only had my puppy for FOUR MONTHS and I was attached, I can't imagine actually having a dog throughout its entire lifespan.
