THis thread should come with a warning sign.   Oh my goodness.


 :yeah:


I scroll really fast past the poems and writings like: "The Power of the Dog by Rudyard Kipling" that people post so I don't accidently read it.

Then I'd need to go visit that TRT thread  :'(

What a difficult time and decision for you, but I'm sure you'll know the right time. :sry:

We had to take our last ride a week and a half ago. Tough call, but no doubt it was the right call. I’ll miss him, but lucky to have a good one that long

Still struggling with the loss of my Russells back in January, doesn't seem real after 15 years together.  It's been one thing after another since, so the grieving process has drug out, but the hole they left is truly huge!

I am deeply sorry for your loss, it's gut wrenching.  I am just now starting to get the tug at my heartstrings whenever I see puppies.  I imagine I will own another dog at some point but man is it rough!  I feel for you and your family.

Hang in there  :tup:

So sorry to hear of your loss! We lost our corgi this spring. She was only 8 and got run over by a car. It gets easier as the days pass but I’m gonna be honest, you will never forget! You will cope with it better eventually but you’ll have some rough moments. Dogs aren’t even close to humans, but they can become a huge part of your life. Change is tough but you’ll keep going. In my case we have another dog which helps us get through it. Not trying to tell you what to do but it might help to get a new dog. Again, you won’t ever forget but may make it easier. Just my thought
Improvise, Adapt, Overcome
