...and it is killing me. This is my first and only dog. He was 14.
He had been not eating and puking for a week or so....nothing we did would save him. Spent his last 2 hours this morning laying with him and petting him as he wound down......so fucking sad! I called the vet at 7am and the doctor would not be in until 9am....the little guy made it until about 8:35..... I feel gutpunched today....:sigh: Rest in peace little buddy.... 14 years old!

Sorry Randy. I went through that 16 months ago, and it still rips me apart that my dog is gone. After I was somewhat stable, we went to Vegas, since we no longer needed to get a housesitter when travelling. We've decided not to get another dog for a while, since it's really quite a committment, but sometimes I wonder if life wouldn't be better with a dog in the house. Tough decision.
Hang in there, try to reflect on the fact that you got 14 wonderful dog filled years. Jason |

We've been through this a few times around here and it never seems to get better with experience, only with time. Sometimes momentarily I think the dog is more important than family and kids. My wife's way of dealing with this is to get a new pet (dog or cat or whatever) ASAP. Not to forget the old friend, but to help heal the psyche with a new friend. I think I'd prefer the wait and see method as mentioned above, but I don't make those decisions. Hang in there. Bock |
