Comment on Life after euthanasia for bereaved pet carers by Karla.

He said yes to us on the drive to the vet.
He said yes when the doctor and vet tech came to the car
and he didn’t lift his head, just looked up with tired eyes.
He said yes when he laid his head in my hands.
He raised it briefly with the poke of the needle
and rested it in my hands again before the sedative.
He was so tired. He was ready.
We are never ready to let go of love.

He said yes and we said yes, and our hearts broke open to infinity.
