I know that death is a part of life. We have all heard of the cycle. I have seen my share it, grandparents, an Aunt, a cousin, a kitten and so on. I am lucky enough to have my parents, spouse and children alive and kicking. This house has seen a lot of animal death, my dog Athena has given birth to 7 still born puppies in the last two days and now the runt of the pack is looking grim. The hardest part of this equation is how my son will take this, will he even notice? He wants to be a veterinarian when he grows up and takes these things personally.
Who is to say why the little brown puppy is the weak one? Maybe I have a soft spot for this little girl because I was four pounds at birth and considered a runt. Still am, at 5 feet tall my height is commented on daily.
Should we name her? I suppose not but to die without a name seems to be the saddest part of all.
Delilah, that is her name.
