Yesterday was the day where I was in a complicated situation when this happens in daily life. Having car troubles after having that terrible rain that caused the roads, including my driveway to have a small swimming pool of water, and leading to the water to hurt the car and could not go to my classes yesterday and I began to catch a cold in the early afternoon but it did not get too bad before I went to take Jed to the vet at two thirty for his final checkup. By final I mean asking for x rays to see if the medication made any progress, but what I got from the vet was nothing good. I remember asking her is there any progress or hope for him she said no for the mass that is in him is only going to get worse. I had to have a moment alone to talk to my mom and told her everything she needed to know. Then she asked me to go and get information about euthanasia which made me want to break down a little in the room but I stuck to it and another vet gave me almost everything to know: How is it done, the cost, cremation (Me and my family were coming to a conclusion that cremation was the best way to go because of the snow and it being hard to dig in the backyard). The vets did give me some more medication for him to not feel much pain, so there is more antibiotics and now there is prednizone, I think that is how it is spelled, to help him feel a little less pain before we decide when the proper time is to euthanize him. After I came home that is when my cold got worse that I had to wear a mask surgeons use during any type of surgery. But the only thing that made me think about the past few hours is how long he is going to last and when my mom and I are ready to say enough. I do remember when my mom asked me what I wanted for my birthday since it is on February 25th. I did tell her something, but less than a week later I texted her before I was off to my class and said that it will have to wait for I can be patient. I was to let her know if there was anything else but I said yes but have not come to a conclusion yet. I think the only birthday wish I want is for Jed to be here on my birthday. I understand the longer we wait the worse he is going to get but him passing away before or on my birthday is going to be hard. Then I realize how hard it would be no matter what. I have had him for a long time. Perhaps too long to not want to let go of a friend. Jed is my best friend. He has been my best friend the moment I went to meet him for the first time. I think saying yes to my mom’s question if he was the one we wanted was one of the best decisions I had ever made. I understand that if he goes my childhood would officially end for I was not yet a teenager when we got him. He is a ball of fun, always lively and sometimes a rebel when it comes to being ordered around. But if anyone asked me about him I would just say that he was a dog that just loved being loved. I am just happy that he was not one of them dogs who did not get so lucky for he made an impact on the lives of my family. To be honest I think Jed is a one of a kind.
