She Overheard Heartbreaking News
“When I was about 13 or 14 (not that long ago), I overheard my parents talk about my dog, Chowder.
I was in the living room half passed out from exhaustion while they were in the dining area. Chowder was in the vet for a couple of days because of something called distemper. I just thought that after a few days, he’d get better and go back home and be the normal dog he would be. I was wrong.
I lay motionless on the sofa because I was lazy to get up. I accidentally heard mom crying. I heard words like “What will we tell her?” and “She can’t know this before her exams… she might not do well.” By this time, I got really curious so I tried my best to stay awake while staying in the uncomfortable position that I was in.
A few other medical terms passed and I hear the word, “euthanize.” I knew what that meant and it took me a few seconds to put the pieces together. I cried the whole night and they found out in the morning.
So there… not really interesting, just heartbreaking.” Story credit: Reddit / @notcrowley
