i was dogsitting and the dog died.

r/

i wanna start off by saying it was no one’s fault and not even the vet knows what caused it. i had been watching her all week and sleeping at the house with her at night. no previous health conditions and she was perfectly fine. I went to bed around 1am and she was snoozing at the foot of the bed – i could hear her snoring. I woke up around 9am to go to class and i found her in the kitchen. i just feel so horrible and guilty even though there’s nothing i could have done. she wasn’t even old. i’m just so freaked out and scared to leave my pets alone now. i keep checking in with my loved ones to make sure they’re ok. it’s made me so paranoid and i don’t know how to handle this right now.
