I have had several dogs That either died at home, died while hospitalized, or I held them and were injected and their life was ended. It NEVER gets EASY, it always feels like your heart has been ripped out of you. And YES I have had non pet owner (co workers) that could not understand how a person can get sick, depressed, take time off from work OVER A ANIMAL. ppl like this have to be ignored, My babies were like my children, my family, close friends knew this, yet, they did not know the pain of loosing a pet, but they supported me. Ignore those that do not understand, cry, sob, grieve. You are NOT WEIRD, crying, talking will not take the pain away, but it will ease it a bit. No words can be said to will lesson the pain. Isabella will remain in your heart forever. And so TRAGIC that your dads dog died 2 days before, a horror, unbelievable, I have no words to express my SHOCK, my heart goes out to both you and your dad for these tragedies. Please stay strong, your other baby will feel your pain and she will also suffer the loss of her sister, she may also get depressed, not want to eat, my sulk, not be her normal self. I say this because in 2005 I had 2 yorkies I called then ROADWAY where one was the other was right behind her, they were ALWAYS TOGETHER, I had to put the older one down in 2005 the younger one (that I just put down in Oct. 2013) mourned the loss of her sister for 7 months, thank god she finally, slowly became her old self, but it took time. Be strong for your other baby, they sense when you are unhappy or sad and pick this up. God bless both you and your dad, I am so very very sorry that you both lost your much loved best friend.((hugs)) to you both.
