Oh jeez, Zincubus.
Thanks for making me cry right after I put my make up on...
The scene at the Vet, I still can't watch something like that. When I had to put my soul-dog Vic down, the best German Shepherd ever, our guardian during many years alone in a to me foreign country, it was simply one of the hardest thing I went through.
I thought I was prepared for the day, I told myself I wouldn't be like those other people that break down and scare their pets in their final moments. I would be strong for my boy.
When it happened, it all seemed to go so fast, and when the Vet said those words I literally broke down into a million pieces. I had a bad cold and couldn't breathe well as it was, but then I was sobbing so hard, I thought I would literally choke on my tears.
I did hold him. My eyes were inches from his and I watched the life go out of them.
Its been 6 years now, but when I see scenes like in this video, I'm transported right back in time.
But now the good memories outweigh the sorrow. And there is Shadow, another German Shepherd and well loved. But Vic did leave a hole in my heart.
It IS a great song, though, resonated in me in quite a few ways.
Thank you for sharing.
