Vet: "You don't have to stay for this."At least Buddy was warm and had a full tummy and the last thing he knew was someone scratching him behind the ears and telling him reassuring lies.
Me: "Yeah, I kinda think I do."
It was the only choice in the circumstances. It beat dying out in the cold, sick and hungry and alone. And I still feel terrible.
We tried, Buddy.
