I Think Dogs Are Awesome

I am so, so sorry. I know how hard that is. When I lost my 15 year old dog this summer, I realized that my 16 year old daughter couldn't even remember the dog not being there. Many people don't understand that you are saying goodbye to a beloved family member. ((Hugs))

I'm so sorry you're about to experience this loss. I have been at that place so many times myself and it never gets any easier.

Our last pup had to be put down at only 4 years old...our beautiful Baxter, which is shown in my profile picture. He had cancer.

My son said something to me that helped ease the pain, though, and I hope it will for you as well. He said: We give a dog a good home and a great life for as long as we can. ...and then we do it for another.

It's something I guess none of us wants to think about when we first get a pet...we will more than likely outlive him or her.

But again, sorry for this most difficult time in your life.

I guess most of us have to do that at some stage, but it breaks your bloody heart though, and you have to stop looking for them each morning.

Horrible day for you today ... I'm sorry ... I dread that inevitable day myself ...
My condolences to you and your family !
