You did a nice job with this short narrative. The little twist was nice too. There is a lot of content in these 100 words.

Having just watched a family of grandchildren go through this trauma, your story touched my heart. Well done = no spelling or grammar issues. Good luck in contest.

To all pet lovers, this scenario is no doubt heart-wrenching. Just thinking that a beloved pet showering you with affection does not have much time. The moments become more precious as this knowledge settles into one's mind.
Amazing how the bonding relationship of a pet and master become valued as the hours or days pass by. Somehow while waiting for the inevitable the passing moments are also treasured more but also adds more to the pain.

I, indeed, have had to endure this experience, more than once. The worst time is when my adolescent daughter was there with me and we grieved together.
You capture so well the atmosphere, the dialogue - I am reliving my own experiences through this one. A powerful flash fiction. Brooke

Hi,
This is such a moving story. I've had to put a pet down before. It's devastating to do, even when you know it's the right thing to do.
Beautiful dedication and entry.
Best of luck in the contest.
Cheers & Blessings

Comment from Dean Kuch
Aw, this is such a sad story. It would be so hard to do this to our pet, especially since they are just like one of the family. I can't even imagine. I don't want to, either...
Very well done, and best of luck to you in the contest.

Yes, this is a feeling I kno all too ell.
You have done a great job of concealing the reality of this situation as late as possible - a techniques used in most of these stories I see.
Good luck.
