Re: I just lost my last dog!

@Alsace Gal, I will tell you the truth.  It was one of the hardest things I have ever been through.  It felt like I would never get past it. She came into my life when my last one left for college.  So she was everything to me.  We buried her beneath a beautiful flowering cherry tree that is near the bedroom window.  She was afraid of thunderstorms, and it broke my heart that she was now outside and not in my arms.

 

 I would stand there at night and tell her I loved her and I was near.  I finally had to stop doing these things because I felt myself slipping into depression.  It took me a very long time to accept it.  I can't bring myself to have another dog.  I can't go through this again.  I am so sorry for all that have lost their fur babies.  Thank you for your post.  ❤️

I understand your grief. I lost my dear twin and our precious My Angus within 6 weeks of each other,  last year, it's very hard to move forward.

My dear twin sister and I had more than 16 pups through the years, each one dearly loved and cherished. Neither one of us had children, except for our fur babies.

With each loss we told each  other we wouldn't have another dog, the pain was too much. Within a very few months, we realized we needed to love and care for another one. There was so much emptiness. Each time we found a a pup to cherish, spoil and in return each one gave us devotion, love and filled our hearts with joy.

I'm sharing this with you because it may help you to move forward.

We never forgot our precious pups, their photos, toys and memories.

Only just saw you're post.  So very sorry.  It does warm my heart that so many people send their support as we all know this awful feeling and trying to accept the loss.  Time will heal but you will never forget, just wish our fur babies could stay around longer.  All they want from us is to be loved and cared for.  Thinking of you.x

Re: I just lost my last dog!

Difficult losing our beloved pets.  Two years ago I lost my youngest schnauzer at seven years old.  I felt two lumps in his neck and he died within three months from cancer.  So...Murfie is now with me and I adore him.  But I have a 14 and a 12 year old girls and two 20 year old cats.  I know with those older ages I will be facing more heartache.  But I too am old and will love Murfie until the end.
