This summer I let one of my more dominant dogs go to a senior home where I felt she would be calmer and more even tempered. She is extremely happy there and soooo spoiled. Her new owner keeps in touch with me and sends me pics and updates. I miss her and think about her all the time. She still feels like mine, yet, in my heart I knew I did what was best for her. A month after that, one of my other dogs fell ill and was gone within 36 hours. I was crushed.
I lost my sweet Rosie this past June. She was only 10.5 months old and it broke my heart. I have been grieving ever since. She barely had a chance to live. I won't go into details right now but she got very sick, very fast and unexpectedly and the vet suggested that we let her go..I never dreamed such a thing could happen. I thought for sure once I got her to the vet everything would be okay, she would be fine. Such was not the case.
These little dogs of ours have a huge impact on our lives and our hearts and losing them is like losing a best friend or a family member. I pray that your heart will heal quickly and that in time you may consider opening your heart up to another fuzzbutt. I have not been ready to add another dog to my family yet. I did however adopt a homeless kitten and she has helped me to heal and provided me comfort on the 'bad'days. |
Wow your story is very similar to mine. I also lost Winston so quickly due to lymphoma. It was sudden. There it was and he became so weak so fast. I am really sorry for your loss. Your baby was really young. I sometimes think it is harder when they are young because you weren't able to spend time with them. I am sorry that your time with her was cute so short. They truely do impact our life and it hurts so much when they have to go. Right now my daughters dog has 4 puppies ( unexpected adopted from animal shelter pregnant w/ no knowledge of preg) and everyone says I should keep one but I think I am going to concentrate on spending time with my two yorkie girls and just lavish them with attention. Now that I am getting a little better with posting pictures I am going to try a profile and post some pictures soon.
