i thought it looked sooo beautiful outside earlier on our walk but these pics just make it look like i live in the fucking blair witch project

#also hi i haven’t posted here in 1000 years! we moved and im in university now LOL #dogblr #golden retriever #ruben

today it’s been 1 year since he passed. i miss you little guy :(

#harley

this almost seems silly to post now, but i became inactive on this blog earlier this year because harley passed on feb 5.

we had an appointment at the vet clinic for him a bit later that day, but i had to call them and beg to move it up because he was doing so badly that morning. on the way to the car he got to bask in the sunlight one last time, and true to himself, he complained loudly on the 5 minute car ride to the vet. they made it really nice for us despite the short notice and we were allowed to take our time. it was the right thing to do, i have no doubt about that, but it doesn’t lessen the grief. the other cats were very kind to him too before he left, and his last couple of days his vet said he was allowed to eat whatever he wanted, so after 2 years of a strict renal-support diet he finally got to have his favorite wet food again, even if his appetite wasn’t great.

it was obviously a painful day, but the strangest thing about that day was that later, in the evening, my mother sent me one of those facebook memories things - it was a picture she’d posted of kitten harley from the day we brought him home, exactly 9 years earlier to the day.

he was my best friend. i think it’ll always hurt that he had to go so soon, but im glad he was in my life and im glad he was my cat.

i love you, buddy. always.

#harley #animal death #took me 7 months to finally be able to write this post #ive tried and given up many times now

i haven’t posted here in a while, mostly due to life taking up my time. i just wanted to get off my chest that harley has been getting way worse very abruptly recently, so we took him to the vet today and his kidney values are like. Insanely high. the creatinine levels were the highest the vet had ever seen. he’s lost a ton of weight the last month or so, despite being on an appetite stimulant. there’s not much they can do, and what they can do would be extremely taxing for him, may not even work, and would possibly give him a few more weeks at best. so the right thing to do is to let him pass while he’s still himself, still eating and drinking and purring and curling up in our laps even though he must feel tremendously bad. it’s extremely difficult and ive been crying all day and it just. sucks. ive known him since he was 6 days old and could fit in the palm of my hand. he’s been with me through several moves back and forth across the country and through some really shit times in my life and several relationships and just been such a constant for the last near-decade. ive been steeling myself for the grief ever since he got the diagnosis but it doesn’t help. i don’t know what else to say.

#animal death #<- since i know some people have that blacklisted #his last day will probably be monday. im so sad i want to throw up

“are you wearing the—”

“the chanel boots? yeah, i am.”

#not pictured: the nasty shaved hot spot under his chin that is just barely obscured his big ol head #ruben #dogblr

ruben got a big hot spot (moist dermatitis) on his neck and had to be shaved down at the vet to properly clean it and now he looks like he’s gunning for the starring role in a PETA ad

#text #boy’s got them big ol’ sad eyes #they had to conk him out while they shaved and cleaned him so he’s been completely out of it all evening #he wouldn’t even move for 30 min after we left the clinic he just sat in the grass outside and zoned out #then he cried when my partner came and i went into the pharmacy to get his prescriptions #now he has to wear socks on his hind legs because he wouldn’t stop scratching himself #poorest littlest boy in the whole universe
