Had to put my dog to sleep

Last Thursday we had to put my dog to sleep.  He was 15 and in pain.  I was devastated.  He followed me around constantly so everywhere I went in the house and every chore I would do he would be right there beside me.  I just cried and cried.

Hi Storm,

I recently had to put my german shepherd to sleep too. In November. I was devistated and still cry about it. But I too got a new puppy and she really fills that hole. She is another german shepherd, she is so cute and her name is Jazmine. I just love her, but she is a hand full.

It takes time to get over losing a pet especially one that has been with you for so long. I have a 14 year old Australian Cattledog and I know it wont be long before I have to have her put to sleep. I am hoping that she dies naturally at home. I am dreading that day though.

Be kind to yourself during this time of grief. It is hard I know, I cried so hard over my Dharma that it hurt. But crying is cleansing and you will get over this in time. Like I say, be good to yourself and allow the tears to flow.

Thinking of you.

Hugs, Karen

So sorry to hear of your loss.  Putting a pet to sleep is very hard, but think of it as putting them out of pain.  I've had to put 4 pets to sleep over the past 40yrs and it is not something you get over quickly.  A few months ago I had to put my cat down because he had feline aids and was losing weight very quickly and the only thing I could do for him is put him at rest, he is no longer in pain, he is running around perfectly fine and loving every minute of it.

hi i am sorry i know how hard it is. when i was a teen i had taken in a poodle from a friend who were moving but couldnt take her. i had two other dogs in the house. one was my grandmas and one was my uncles but this one was mine. she was a old dog but was very good dog. i remember she would get on her hind legs and dance for her treats. well needless to say a year later we had to have her put down because of heart failure. i was devastated. i remember i wouldnt let them take care of her i insisted her being buried with the other family pets in the back yard and i held her in the backseat the whole way home crying.

but i think this saying works well with animals and not just humans. people never die, neither do animals, because they have loved and because they have loved they live on in the hearts of the lives they have touched therefore they live on in their hearts. i kind of say it different then in my signature lol but it means the same thing.
