I had to put my beloved dog, Kobe, to sleep this past week. He was only seven years old, but he lived with a seizure disorder six of his seven years. He went downhill very quickly and suddenly a week ago Friday, although he’d slowed down on walks and was even not recognizing normal objects at night for the last couple months of his life.

Despite taking seizure meds twice daily, he still had seizures randomly and also consistently each spring. He never fully recovered after seizures back in March, but nine days ago, he went from slow walks and seemingly OK otherwise to unable to stand without me lifting him up. Then, from that Friday to last Tuesday, he went from needing help getting up to being incapable of raising his head to take a drink. It was sudden and awful.

Although I have other dogs, Kobe was an emotional fulcrum in the house and the emotional support dog for the other canines, especially my German shepherd. He had no malice and only wanted to love, be loved, play, and eat good food. My sister adopted him as a shelter rescue when he was eight weeks old, but he quickly became my dog and was exactly what I needed, giving me a creature to focus on while coping with post-breakup heartache and other forma of loss.

The house feels emptier without Kobe. I’m still mourning his passing. Today’s workout took an act of will, but I’m glad I went. This is my first post about Kobe, and it feels disjointed. If you made it through, thank you.

I’m so sorry about Kobe! Your post was not disjointed at all, it expressed beautifully the way you’re feeling and why.

It hurts my heart that you’re going through this, having just been through the same thing. I miss Buttons so much still. We have the new rescue and he’s an absolute delight, but we both still mourn her alongside falling in love with him.

Laugh if you can, cry if you have to.
