So sad

So sorry to hear about the losses of everyone's beloved pets. I've been there and the pain is acute, but it's the price we pay for the love and joy they bring to us. I still have a little cry occasionally for the ones I have lost. They live on in our hearts.

Sodapop how very sad and lost you must feel. I'm so sorry. Our Vet said to us earlier this week that we had chosen the moment and were doing the last act of kindness for our darling cat. But it doesn't take away the pain, does it? Do try to remember what sort of life you gave your dog, how happy you made him, how he was cared for - as well as how much he loved you. You chose the moment, you gave him up so that he didn't suffer. He was everything to you and you to him. It hurts so much..... and two dogs? I've lost two dogs, quite young and close together and both to cancer. It was horrific. It now feels that my cat has taken a big piece of our lives and a small piece of my heart, but he wasn't the first and he won't be the last. We just have to bear the bad times to make the good times good, and in order to have their loving presence in our lives. I hope you feel so much better soon and that you'll start to remember him without so much pain - just happiness and gratitude.

So very sorry to read this sodapop, my dog is 12 and starting to really slow down. He was my husband's dog so when it is his turn to go, I will lose double the memories. Big hugs to you xx

I’m so sorry for your loss. My boy went 3 weeks ago today.
I’m missing him so much. Losing a beloved pet is just so very very hard.

sodapop, they leave such a huge gap behind in our lives, don't they? We have to grieve their loss - and always remember what a lovely little life they had with us.

I’m sending you a (((hug))) too. Our pets give us such devotion and unconditional love, they comfort us so much It’s hard when we loose them

Oh I am sorry sodapop it really is heart breaking isn't it even when you know that you've done the right thing.

I'm so sorry for your loss. The anguish can be unbearable. We never really get over the loss of our dear pets. It's like losing a family member, because that's what they are really. It does get easier to bear though.
I can still get choked up when I think of Bella who passed away whilst I was on holiday & she was with a dog sitter. I still beat myself up that I wasn't at home somehow protecting her from her sudden demise. I have her ashes in a sweet little teak box with her name engraved on it; she's going in with me when I cross my own rainbow bridge.

Thank you all for your comforting words, so good to know others understand the sadness of losing a much loved pet.
My sympathy to everyone else who has lost their pet

I'm awfully sorry I know the pain of losing a pet x

Glam too, poor Poppy x So heartbreaking.

D had to have her beloved mountain dog put to sleep last month.

So many pets leaving us for ALL.

So sorry for you we lost our Jack Russell who was 14 a year ago. He was a mischief who had to be kept on an extended lead because he ran away. We absolutely adored him and I miss him so much.

So sorry for all those who have lost their beloved pets

I lost my lovely, sweetest Rottweiler a couple of years ago. I asked to keep her as part of my divorce settlement. She kept me company during those difficult months ....I literally used to sit with her and talk to her ...she would prick up her ears and listen to my tales of woe ?

I'm so sorry. They are such an important part of the family.

How heartbreaking for you, I am so sorry. We had to make a similar decision a few years back and I still cry if I think of it. They really are our best friends and the pain of them going is immense. My thoughts are with you. x

So sorry to hear your sad news sodapop. It is terrible when we lose them. Our beloved cross bred rescue lived to be nearly 17 several years ago. When we had her pts the pain was such that we vowed we would never have another. That was until the little dog we have now needed a new home. They steal your heart don't they. You gave him a wonderful life and showed your love for him right to the end.

I can feel your pain sodapop I had to have my lovely Poppy put to sleep last week she was 12 yrs old we got her as a rescue when she was 12mths old a very mistreated Lhasa Apso who had never been groomed or socialised in her time with her previous owner,she was my late husbands shadow and has never been the same since we suddenly lost him 12mths ago.
You will like me have very fond memories of a faithful friend.

I’m so sorry sodapop, it is such a painful loss. You let your beloved dog go, the kindest last thing you could do for them.

We have cats rather than dogs but I am sure the pain of losing them is just the same. I’m so sorry.

Sodapop l know how it feels when a loved dog’s time is up it’s very sad and emotional. The one thing that I always felt when any of my dogs time came is my dog had a lovely life with all those walks in the countryside on beaches out riding with me and visiting every one in my family and friends. The good food that I gave them and the excellent health care they had. Just remember how much you loved your dogs and the fun you had together.
Remember the special relationship that you had with your four legged lm sure they had a great life. ?

georgesgran and sodapop so sad for you both. It hurts so much and leaves a painful gap in your lives. ?

So sorry to hear your news sodapop.
We had our last dog pts at 15 too - she was having increasing epileptic fits and showning signs of dementia. Stone deaf too.
Every day I look at photos of her - she was a real character.
Border Collie.

How terrible to lose both so close together, I am sure everyone will be so sad for you and hoping you have family and friends to support you.

That must have been very hard Georgesgran they have a special place in our hearts and lives don't they
