So sorry to hear. In the past two month...Oh, Lisa! So sorry to hear. In the past two months I've had to put two of our four dogs to sleep because of cancer, so I feel your pain. It's no damned fun.<br /><br />It may be too early to hear this, but this is how I have learned to deal with the loss of a pet: Even though we cannot have them for all of our lifetimes, we are given the unexpected gift of being able, instead, to experience the love of more than one pet in our lives.<br /><br /> You gave your dog the very best he could have had - a full, complete life rich with food, a happy home, your unconditional love, and all the Christmas lights and sunglasses he could eat. In the end, isn't that really the very most we can give to a pet? You could not have given your dog a longer life because he lived his entire life expectancy, so he got his entire wonderful lifetime. <br /><br />It's sad that their lifetimes aren't as long as ours, but it means we get to offer to and receive the love of a pet more than once in our own lifetimes. How lucky is that for both of us?! And there are so many pets out there who need our love, it makes it even more important that we get the opportunity to give it to more than just one. <br /><br />Even if it's too soon for the idea of another pet, I hope this advice will help you feel a little better. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01467247279690653805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6157842269336262676.post-18928453253864180842014-09-10T20:14:30.113+10:002014-09-10T20:14:30.113+10:00Thank you so much, Tia.

No matter how ma...I am so sorry for you loss, Lisa. No matter how many legs she had, or how hairy she was, she was family. Of course she was a part of your heart and meant a lot to you. Making that decision has got to be one of the most painful ones there is. It took a months for me stop randomly bursting into tears because I would suddenly think of Sam or something would remind me he was no longer there. It took probably a year before I stopped constantly thinking a noise was just Sam moving around and expecting him to come trotting into the room. Even almost three years later I'll hear a noise and forget for a moment that it couldn't be him. They may not be the same species, but they are very special nonetheless. *HUGS*Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000305053422234691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6157842269336262676.post-91087543717812690492014-09-08T11:43:07.391+10:002014-09-08T11:43:07.391+10:00I am so sorry for your loss, but I'm so glad s...I am so sorry for your loss, but I'm so glad she had you in her life to share her time and make that last horrible, but best, decision.
