Thursday at 12:36 PM, my dog died after being euthanized by our veterinarian. My heart is broken and I need a few days off from blogging, so catch you later.
UPDATE: Readers have asked, so here is some basic information about my dog. She was a cockapoo (half cocker spaniel, half poodle) and was just three weeks shy of her 16th birthday (human years).
I had her put down because she was so arthritic that she could no longer go up and down stairs and her back legs collapsed under her frequently each day. She was also blind from glaucoma.
I had her since she was 3 months old and we were very close, so putting her down was one of the most difficult things I have ever done.
Thank you all for your condolences.
Hugs to you and your family. Losing a pet is a hard thing. I had a kitten for nine days and was heartbroken when she died.
ReplyDeletePeace and love to your family in this time of sadness.
Very sorry to hear. Can sympathize as this has happened to me three times
ReplyDeleteVery sorry for your loss. I can sympathize as this has happened to me several times.
ReplyDeletemy condolences Stana. We get attached to our pets and they to us and they love us so unconditionally
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. It's been a tough months for you. It will only get better.
ReplyDeleteYou have my deepest sympathy,may your pet Rest In Peace. I know how heartbroken you must be, I lost my Beagle, Ruby last year due to illness.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Stana. Most folks will say that you had many good years with your pet but for me, the parting is too painful and I have had no pets for the last 40+ years. Take care. Hugs, Tanit
ReplyDeleteStana, I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved dog. Take all the time you need to mourn and remember the wonderful years you had with him.
ReplyDeleteStana,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your beloved dog. I know the pain of losing that friend filled with unconditional love. Even though we know ot is for the best, the sorrow is great.

So sorry Stana. I have and still am an avid dog lover. I've noted many times that the only thing I hate about dogs are that they just don't live long enough. One would think domestication and evolution would provide us with a loving companion past 10 or so years. Hang in there. Hugs, Heather
ReplyDeleteSo sorry...hugs!
ReplyDeleteBe strong. Our dogs will live in our hearts forever
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your pupper. I can't imagine what you're going through right now. I bet they were such a good dog.
ReplyDeletePlease accept my sincerest condolences on the loss of your dog, Stana. Your decision, although heartbreaking to make, was the most humane path to take. May the many happy years that you shared together warm your heart always.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss, when the time comes it's one of the hardest things we have to do in my honest opinion. Take care and think of the all the good times and enjoyment you had with her.
ReplyDeleteSad news to hear. I can’t even imagine how difficult that must have been. Take as much time off the blog as required. We will all understand.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your pup. After I put my dog down, I was never able to get another...too much heartbreak.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon.
Dear Stana,
ReplyDeleteI’m sorry for the loss of your sweet dog.

Sorry to hear about your having to put your dog down. I really wish out dear cats and dogs would be able to live at least 30 years in good health.

Stana, so sorry to hear of this loss. We had to euthanise our dog a few years back due to an incurable and painful illness but that didn’t make it any easier so we can empathise. Wishing you and yours all the best. Deni xxx

Sorry for you loss. Pets are such a big part of our lives. I hope you're doing as well as you can. ♥️
ReplyDeleteMy condolences. All of us who've owned dogs know what you're going through.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear. You and your dear pooch will be in our prayers? What was her name?
ReplyDeletePumpkin Pie was her name, Janet.
DeleteThanks, Stana. As a Buddhist I pray for all beings who have died, and I will be certain to include little Pumpkin Pie in my prayers. Thanks again. All good thoughts. If it wouldn't be too painful for you perhaps you could post a photo.
ReplyDeleteA photo appears in my Monday post.
