Hi,
i'm so sorry for your loss.
He looks absolutely gorgeous.
One thing i always tell myself when i lose a dog is that i am hurting so they don't have to anymore.
It's early days yet and i'm sure it still hurts like hell,you have to give yourself time to adjust and accept.
Give it time and don't stop the crying.It has to come out.
Lots of love xxxx

Another day has passed and still the pain hasnt dulled. It is so hard to come to terms with this. My only comfort is coming on here and reading all your lovely and comforting comments. I thank you all so much for helping me get through this extremely heartbreaking time. I miss that little fella so much I feel like a part of me has died with him. xxx

It's still such early days for you. Unfortunately I think the pain gets worse before it gets better. I think it helps to just take one day at a time and try not to think any further ahead, make a plan for what you're going to do today and try to stick to it. Also when you're tempted to give up hope it can help to think of the people who need you to soldier on and that gives you a reason to do things despite how bad you feel. I know what you mean about this forum, I discovered it when I lost my old cat this year and it was nice to talk with people who care so much about their animals.

Thank you so much. This forum really is my saviour at the moment, especially when my own sister cannot understand my grief. I have had a major row with her because of her insensitivity. I cannot understand how people can be so unattached to animals when for me it was the most natural thing in the world. I wish I could say that things were starting to get better, but they're not. I Hoping to post some more pics of my little fella later today. Thank you to everyone who has left me messages of support - I appreciate them more than you can ever know. xxx

Hope you're managing to do your normal routine. It really is the most important way of coping, in my view. The worst thing possible is to sit around thinking, as I know from experience.

Its been a week now and I still feel sick with guilt. I keep hearing him bark in the night, as the last few months he had started needing to go out in the night or wanted a drink. It sounded so real and I burst into tears when I realised I must have dreamed it. I really hope it starts to ease soon.

It's awful when you have weird dreams about them, same as when you lose a person you love and you dream they're there and when you wake up you realise they're gone. After my cat died I had dreams where all my cats were still alive but in some sort of danger and I was having to collect them all up in a single cat carrier to make them safe. You're actually relieved when you wake up from that type of dream. At first you can't help feeling guilty about putting your animal to sleep but you gradually accept that you did what was right. I think it takes a lot longer than a week to feel anywhere near normal.

So very sorry for your loss.

We had my boy Nelly pts on May 15, and I still occasional dream of him waking up from the euthanasia. It is so weird btu I kept having dreams about him coming back to life, but he was coming back ill so they weren't nice dreams. I have had a few dreams of him nice and healthy like he was before he fell ill and they are lovely. I still cry often and I feel like there is a heavy brick in my heart when I think of him - but however unimaginable the pain I would never trade having had the immense luck and honour to share the 9 best years of my life with him!

What a handsome little chap and so cute.

Sending you a big cyber hug xxx
