Reblogged from Amanda's Amygdala:
Last weekend Andy and I had to say goodbye to our Golden Retriever, Sophie. She died unexpectedly in the middle of the night. Luckily, we awoke and were able to be with her through her last breaths. I've never experienced death first hand like this. It was scary and confusing. I wanted to prevent it from happening, but Andy seemed to instinctively know that we just had to let her go.
