   It still doesn't seem real. Despite my best efforts to attempt to get it all out for the moment before I went to bed last night, I still cried myself to sleep. For a moment this morning, before I opened my eyes, I'd forgotten, and then it hit me again. It was like being punched in the gut. I cried this morning while I got ready for work, but I

I am so sorry for your loss. I do know exactly how you feel. I lost my "puppy love" almost 14 year ago.. and not one single day ever goes by that I STILL don't think of her and miss her.

The crying part eventually eases up... and maybe if you're like me, you'll adopt other babies and bond with them.. but it will be different.

The one thing that keeps me a Christian is that I completely believe that in Heaven we'll be with them again... and I wouldn't jeapardize that for anything.

Cry when you need to. Ignore those assholes who will invariably eventually comment "it was ONLY a dog!" and do your level best not to murder them on the spot.

You handled the end better than most people do. You were there with him and there was no doubt in his wonderful heart that you loved him and were with him.

All other words fail. I am so sorry for your loss.

*hugs*

Thank you. I don't feel like I handled the end well, but I am glad that I stayed with him, even if I was far from composed. I think those last couple of minutes will haunt me for a very long time, but not as much as the thought of leaving him to die with only strangers around would have. I, too, believe that we will one day be with our furbabies again. I can't bear to believe otherwise. I've had other pets, and I'm sure, one day, I'll have more, but I've had none that affected me this deeply when I lost them. He really was one of a kind, and I was so fortunate to have had him in my life for so many years. I just wish they hadn't gone by in the blink of an eye.

I am SO sorry hon. I just saw these posts. :( *wolfy bear hugs you tightly* Been thinking about you here lately & was wondering how you were doing*

[poisonedlips]

Thanks. I've been kind of hibernating socially, and couldn't even bear to pull these posts up to check for new comments. Still avoiding looking at them and at his pictures, as it still hurts too much. My Mom got me a commemorative plate with a picture that looks just like him, to put next to his ashes when I finally find a container that I like. She wasn't going to give it to me yet, but my Dad pulled it out last week when I was over there to show it to me, and as soon as I saw the picture I teared up and he had to put it away. Just not ready yet

Yup. Changed jobs. Working out at Coldstream for a small biotech company. Puppers are both better & being terrors, as usual. Packing up my apt. & getting ready to move to a 2 bdr. unit over here. All excited about David (the sweetie from NZ) finally coming to see me next August.
