Last Gift of Love
I have performed many euthanasias in my career. It has always been an honor to provide a good death, a humane death and to be able to give that last gift of love on a pet care-giver’s behalf. I have always done euthanasias in the hospital. But one experience changed my life and how I want to proceed giving that gift.
The clients came in with their amazing pit mix. He had been with his person on a long journey, helping her through an abusive relationship and nasty divorce. That blocky beautiful face was there for her new marriage to a loving husband and for the birth of their child. She and I sat on the floor of the hospital room, talking. Red was tired; the cancer had made him a shell of the dog he was. We put him on some great medicine the previous week, and bought him quality time with the family. But it was time, they decided. He wagged his tail, looking lovingly at his mom.
Then the husband said to me, “You know, he just loves truck rides. He was so excited on the drive over here…” He paused and choked up before he squeaked out, “I was thinking, well wondering…can we do this with him in the truck? He would be so happy…” the big burly husband’s voice cracked and a tear slid down his stubbled cheek.
I paused for a millisecond and said, “Yes! Yes, let’s have him in the truck where he would be happiest.” We got Red in the bed of the truck on his favorite blanket. The weather was beautiful that late afternoon. He lifted his head, looking as proud as can be laying in that truck bed. Then both husband and wife hugged him. He gently placed his head in her lap and crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
