My dog died today

[TheSpyder]

So it was a typical Sunday and there was nothing to believe that anything was wrong. Tippy is a 13 YO Black Lab mutt that lives with her 15 YO Black Lab mutt older sister, not genetically but they have been together forever.

I go to let them out and blood is everywhere on the floor. I let them out and my head is realing trying to figure out how I'm going to figure out which dog. I put on gloves and check their private areas to no avail...then I notice Tippy is bleeding from her paw...good I thought, better than internal.

An hour later we're at the Emergency Animal Hospital because I can't get the bleeding to stop.

An hour later we learn it is a tumor that ruptured.

An hour later we have to make the horrible decision to put our friend of 13 years to sleep because the condition would mean only pain and suffering.

Life comes at you fast.......sometimes we forget until we're faced with some of its shocking realities.

The bad news, my firend of 13 years is gone just like that....the good news is I'm going to have a better life for having her and realizing the little stuff isn't as important as I made it out to be.

Life is to be lived.
