I still miss her so and always will. This has been so hard to cope with. I know and am so proud she's not in any pain any more but our lives seem so empty. It happened so quickly from the time she started limping to the time she passed away was only a month and a half. I'm glad we got to have her and love her for almost 12 yrs but it still didn't seem long enough. Our other dog still seems to be lost herself. I hate to go on just felt like i needed to talk with someone.

thanks

That's what these forums are all about. We understand how tough it must be. Having been through it so recently, you may be able to share some of your feelings in our discussion about end of life concerns for dogs.

Best wishes, and thanks for sharing.

Dawn,

You are absolutely right to come here.  As Jerry says, "That's what forums are all about".  My heart broke for you right after Puddin passed and it certainly doesn't get any easier anytime soon.  For me, when I lost Drucy, I went into a severe depression for months on end.  Then, because of who I am, I heard of a little dog who needed to be rescued and even though I didn't feel ready emotionally, I took that little guy in to my home.  It didn't take a thing away from my grieving for Drucy, and it gave me a chance to see that there was a little fella who was willing to give me all the love in his heart.  How could I resist?  I couldn't.  That little saviour is with me now, all 12 lbs of him.  Blazer is a miniature poodle and he's a wonderful, sweet little dog.  I'd hate to think of what would have happened to him if I hadn't opened my heart.  He's asleep in my lap right now and I wouldn't trade him for all the tea in china.  Please feel free to write here again on this same thread because I am subscribing to it so I'll get the updates.  I will always be here for you if you need to talk.

Your friends, Vicki Tankersley, Blazer & Kitty Kimber
