OT - Not a good week

I had to put our dog, of 15+ years down, two days ago.  It has been horrible. I just want him to come in and sit next to me in my office, but that will never happen again.  I hate that I had to make that choice for him but I know it was what was best.  He was a great addition to our family and is greatly missed.  I have cried myself to sleep every night since and at times I think I hear him itching himself.  Maybe it his way to let me know he is still with us in spirit.  The pain at times is unbearable.  At times, I feel like maybe if I would have waited, but I know I would have been prolonging the inevitable.  I miss you Rufus.  Thanks for being such a loyal companion, friend and family member.  You did a great job keeping us safe while you were with us and I will see you again in the future. 

Please give me strength to get through this and continue my appeal with the insurance company.  Something has to go right soon. 

i'm so sorry for your loss.  our dogs are such important members of our families. 
sending big hugs your way

I am so sorry !!!!    I had to put our 10yr dog brandy down last week.  It still hurts!

You have lost a family member.  You will need time to mourn.  And I am so sorry for your loss.  He will be there waiting for you on the other side. 

Wanda,

Even though your furbaby is no longer here with you physically, be will always be alive in your heart.

Goodbyes are not forever
And nor is it the end
When angels come to call away
A loved one or a friend.

The empty place that’s left behind
Within this world we know
Reminds us just how brief a stay
We have before we go.

So when it’s time to bid farewell
To one we’ll dearly miss
Let’s just say we’ll meet again
And promise them with this…

The true gift is that love remains
Although we now must part..
Until forever and beyond
I’ll keep you in my heart.

I am so sorry, Wanda... nothing can describe the pain of letting go of our beloved pets.  Each day is a new day... hang in there and be good to yourself (preferably in non-FOOD related ways).

Thinking of you...
