i just saw a comment on tiktok from someone that said that when they had to have their dog put to sleep, their dog thought that the vet wanted to shake their paw and gave them their paw for the needle and i’m so??? i feel so silly but this actually just shattered me oh my god. literally in tears over this dog and stories of other dogs and cats that i’ve never met and who have long since passed. we literally don’t deserve animals, why can’t they be healthy and live forever : ((((
