Re: My dog Hunter was put asleep today

@Libra2

 

It is easy to tell how much you and Jenny love Hunter.  I am glad you gave her a chance to be with him afterwards, we always bring our animals home too so their buddies can say goodbye, and understand that they are gone.

 

Wish there were words I could use to make the pain of this loss less, but it is a pain that only living through can lesson.  Be gentle with yourself and Jenny, and know that Hunter loves you and is grateful for this last, hardest gift you were able to give him.

 

I hope that soon the joy of the love you share, and the happy memories will out weigh the pain of loss.  Heart

I'm so sorry for the loss of your doggie, Hunter.  Give Jenny a loving hug from me.  It's so heartbreaking to have to say goodbye to our fur babies.  You and Jenny are in my thoughts and prayers that over time your sadness will ease.

@Libra2

 

Your uncomditional and courageous love for Hunter shines through your broken-hearted post.  You gave your boy true freedom--freedom from pain forever. 

 

And, hard as it may seem right now, you and Jenny have not lost him--even though he's taken flight to a place among the angels, he can never truly travel past your orbit because he lives, as he always has, in your heart.

 

Godpeed, beloved Hunter! You lit up your Mom's life forever!

Re: My dog Hunter was put asleep today

so very sorry for your great loss as well as Jenny's.  Our babies definitely grieve when one of them crosses that bridge.  Mine usually stopped eating for a few days and were very quiet. I cried and so did they.  It took all of us as long as it took to become functional again.  In my mind the grief never leaves, just becomes less excruciating

Re: My dog Hunter was put asleep today

Hi.  So sorry for your loss.  I know what  you experienced from my own journey.  The pain will lessen and hopefully you'll want another dog to love.  Shelter babes are especially loving.  Jenny will be a little lost for a while, but you've got each other.

 

Sincerely

@Libra2, I am so sorry and am keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.  It is always a difficult time.
