I have something to say.........

[Jamers!]

no reason to 'go away' man. Lets just have a good time, of course there will be bickering and small arguments from time to time with all people, but no reason for you to banish yourself

I'm sorry for your loos and I feel your pain. My 15 year old Beagle just died 2 weeks ago. Still getting over it.

How about a little more compassion here, Verm? After wading through hundreds of your posts, I think it might be okay to cut K9 a little slack when he's dealing with something a little more significant than picking out just the right scarf!!

Forgive the harshness of this, but it struck a chord with me. I doubt I'm alone.

Exactly.
For someone who constantly does the same thing, you are very quick to judge others.

K9 man, I'm really sorry to hear about your loss. I went through a similar ordeal a couple years back. One of the hardest things I had to do. But like CNF2002 said, think about the good times and I'm certain you gave her the best home a dog could ever hope for. Hang in there buddy.

Damn I hate to see posts like this, makes me tear up every time. You probably know you are doing the right thing and that you have done your best to give him a long happy life.

I'll give my 2 big mutts an extra hug tonight. I like dogs better than most people I've met.

At 4AM this morning I looked for my post but saw it was removed and thought for sure that was it for me on the board. I just gave it another try thinking it was moved and was right. It's now noon and I want to thank so many of you for your replys and ideas. They are very nice and at the same time I to am sorry for those who have lost there loved pets. I am unable to sleep and have been up now 29 hours and am so so sick inside. Yesterday at 1:30PM I had to take my loved pet to be put to sleep. She was not scared and it was very peaseful. I stayed with her the whole time. I held her in my arms and whispered to her to go to sleep now as I have done every night for the last 12 years when we go to bed.The doctor gave her an injection and I could feel her relax, I told her I love her very much and to wait for me that we will be together again some day and I had not even noticed that the second injection was done.It was less then a minute and she was gone. Twelve years of love and care and companionship were gone in 90 seconds. I stayed with her for another 15 minuts holding her unable to let go. I never have felt like this before, all is lost now. I do not care about anything any more, not even to get a motorcycle any longer. The grief is unbareable and I wish I could die to. I am having her cremated and returned back to me. My wishes are that she go with me when my time comes and I'm burried. There were so many things I used to enjoy but I now realize I only enjoyed them because we did them together. The world has changed, life has changed. It feels as if there is no life for me now. Friends say it will get better, things will change but I know myself and I will feel this pain very strong for ever. As I said before she helped me get through some very tough times in life. The house is empty and cold now and it hurts to be here. Every ware I look I see a place she was, how am I going to get over this. Another pet will not make my pain for her go away, how am I going to get over this. I asked God to take me to last night but he has abandoned me again. Everyone is different, so I'm messed up, everyone is different.

Wow if that doesn't make you want to cry I dont' know what would. Being a dog owner, this Is something that hits close to home and even reading this makes me never want that time to come. I can't even imagine how you feel, but I send my condolences.

Be happy for the years you had with her and always remember her.

Again, I'm very sorry for your loss, but you cannot let this grief consume you. You only get one spin on this merry-go-round and you shouldn't spend too much time grieving. My divorce was very devastating to me, but I have three little kids that need me so I had to keep plugging away despite how awful I felt. Over time it hurt less and less and now it is no longer something I dwell on. By no means should you forget your friend and the times you had, but blaming God and wishing for death is no way to honor her memory.
