In reply to the discussion: Anybody here tonight? We lost our sweet baby girl dog on Wednesday. [View all]

(5,219 posts)57. After reading all these kind words last night,
I went outside to the back yard, visited her favorite spots, talked to her, and did my best to call her home. In the past, my pets who passed did not leave home, and I think that is what has been so disconcerting. I felt the loss starkly and more deeply because she was just so suddenly GONE. That cannot be mended, but I hope getting her ashes back on Monday will help. Thank you.

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,

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.
