My little old man....

[misery chastain loves co.]

I had to make the hardest decision of my life today. My "little old man" was 17 years old and had been by my side for 15 of those years. A few hours ago I had to let him forever rest. I knew it would be coming soon and that it would be hard. My heart is broken right now but I also count my blessings and know how truly lucky I was to have had him for so long. And yeah, his tag says I'm with Stupid. He loved to insult me. I keep talking to him and have to catch myself and remember that he isn't lying on his bed or sitting on my lap. And never will again. 15 years of routine is going to be hard to break but I know over time the pain will ease up but never go away entirely. Thank you to everyone who reads this. I know this board and great group of people have always been supportive so I feel safe(and good)sharing this with you.

P.S. A couple people wrote to me, please don't think me rude for not responding(and I will soon)but this is all I can bring myself to do right now. XO

Oh, I'm so sorry. I know your pain and time is the best healer but in the meantime, that's small consolation. (((misery chastain loves co.)))

Our own furry friends hold an exclusive place in our hearts and when someone else has to make the same decision you did, we all feel the same.

I'm terribly, terribly sorry that you had to make that decision. It's heart-wrenching, I know. Treat yourself kindly, and know that you are loved.

(((misery chastain loves co. ))). I am so sorry. Words fail at a time like this. I have been there- many times. Hold the memories close to your heart. He will always be a part of you. Take time and heal from your loss. Much love.

I'm going to give my pooch an extra hug and most likely shed a tear when doing so. If I may offer a small bit of consolation, your friend's collar tag is absolutely top notch.

I feel your pain........

...as one who has had to do this sorry deed many times over the years, I will say it never grows easier sweetheart...the pain eventually settles into a never ending dull ache-but one that is tempered by the loving memories of your fur-child...no words will console you, but know that we all have been there and our hearts hug yours...always remember though, the Rainbow Bridge awaits one day...

 

[CrimsonKingAH]

Our fur-babies are our family.. love them just as much as anyone in our family. There is nothing anyone can say to make it easier...

Love and hugs (((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))

What a fun lookin' little fella, my heart aches for you.
Hey you just keep on talking to him, that's just fine, and in no time really great memories will give you cause to paws and smile, you'll see, he's not nearly done doing that
