I'm so sorry for what you have been through with the loss of your furry friend. It sounds like you did as much as you could to make his life better for the time you had him. I'm sure you made the right decision to have him put down. I agree that it is one of the hardest decisions we make in this life.
It's been over two years now since I had my little guy of 15 years of age put down. My family kept telling me it was time but I could not do it myself. Two of my kids finally took him and stayed with him while it was done. I was never going to have another dog. He was just the perfect little guy and was so loyal and loving. I didn't want to go through training another puppy and it is difficult to find and older small dog around here. Well, after about 6 months of not having a dog in my life I stated to have that feeling of a missing space in my life. Eventually I admitted I missed having a dog and would go on a search for the perfect companion. It takes time to heal. I knew my old guy was reaching the end of his time but you are still in shock. It will get better but it takes time. You did everything you could for the little guy and he was blessed to have you has his person. |
