In reply to the discussion: Anybody here tonight? We lost our sweet baby girl dog on Wednesday. [View all]hlthe2b
(112,517 posts)10. Just woke up and saw this and I cannnot express how much I do feel for you. All here have undoubtedly
dreaded the time their beloved fur baby leaves them, and many have experienced that pain all too often. I certainly have and my current sweet Aussie/Border Collie is approaching 15 years, though stable right now.
Just know that we understand and are reaching out with virtual hugs and love. Tincture of time will help. For me, long walks listening to sad music to let myself cry as much as I wanted/needed, sans having people around for weeks, DID help. But it was 18 months (and arm-twisting by my local animal rescue) before I could even think of having another. Once I did, my Sophie did heal a big hole in my heart, so consider that for yourself and perhaps consider another when you are ready.
I am sorry.

Sadly, there's not much you can do to change the outcome. It's the cycle of life. Time will make it easier to bear,

I'm so sorry I made you cry! But your words brought tears back to my eyes as well.

Hugs I'm so sorry for your loss. I have never waited more than 7 days for the return of ashes. I prefer cremation

This happened to me years ago, but I know my little doggie was with me in spirit by my side.

You didn't let her down. You did the right thing. She is in no pain and is not suffering.

In our family, we have chosen to call that most difficult decision "liberating the spirit."

You did not let your dog down - she was clearly loved right up to the end.
