We Lost Max

My family lost Max on Monday morning.  We got a phone call from the vet and she said he took a turn for the worse. It turns out his bladder ruptured and his body became toxic.  It was a hard blow for us because we had thought he was going to be fine. We were hoping he could come home with us that day. 
We arrived at the vet and poor Max couldn't lift his head up.  He was gasping for air and grunting.  We were so shocked and heartbroken.  We were with him for a while and talking and talking to different staff members. It was evident that nothing more could be done for him, yet none of us wanted to believe that.
My aunt and I left the room when the vet tech put Max to sleep.  My mother was with him, petting him. Earlier she was singing to him the same song she always sings to him when she arrives home from work.  Max could recognize his Mama. 
Max was brought out to us wrapped in a plastic bag and blanket.  We buried him in newspapers and a paper bag.  I planted two lilies and some flower seedlings on his grave.
This is just a month and a day after losing Mindy the cat to a seizure. We also lost other pets last year.
We are tired of losing pets.
