I'm so sorry for your loss. Tango was a specail girl. Run like crazy at the bridge Tango!
You did what you knew was best. There is no reason what so ever for anyone to be mad at you. You made the effort and I know you would have saved Tango if you could.
Oh my, i am so sorry :( :(
What a beautiful girl...i am truly going to miss seeing her on PT.
Rest Easy Tango
{{{Hugs}}}
Thanks again everyone.
crow_noir, it's not Dance that I'm angry with. I love her, and I know it's not her fault at all. She's a great pup, a little irritating at times, but still a great pup. I certainly wouldn't want her to go anywhere. I guess I feel I'm just sort of preventing myself from becoming too attached to her for some reason, and I'm not sure why. It's really hard to explain.
Oh my gosh, Devan, I'm absolutely shocked to hear this. Never would I have guessed... I always enjoyed hearing about Tango and looking at all her pictures. She was so full of personality, you could tell by her photos that she was such a happy dog.
I had that kind of guilt when my RB Missy passed away. I felt awful everytime I did anything with Molli, as if I am betraying Missy for still loving another dog. Although, now I realize that I wasn't betraying her or doing anything wrong. The pain will get easier. (((HUGS)))
My thoughts to you today. Rest in peace, Tango, play hard at the RB. :(
I haven't been on PT for awhile, but to come back and see this thread is heartbreaking. I'm sure Tango is up running and jumping on the bridge with all the others we've had to say goodbye to.

I'm no shrink, but what you're feeling is perfectly normal. I felt "deserted" when I lost Cody. I felt betrayed although it wasn't his fault, of course. But the pain was so severe, and the memories, happy but excruciating. I will be totally honest, it takes a while to recover, but with each passing day, it does get better. Your wound is still deep. My bet is that you gave Tango infinite love and attention. We all know you did. You musn't think, in your grief, that you "shoulda, woulda, coulda" because you did. Nothing we can say will heal your heart right now. But Dance needs you too, and you will feel close to her when you least expect it.
Whether anyone thinks I'm loony, or not, I will admit I've had "Cody sightings" in various ways, and altho it's been 4 years, he's always with me. Tango wrangled into our hearts and will always be with us too, Devan. *Hugs*
I have to agree with k9Karen. I got Ginger very quickly after my Peaches went to the RB, and was sure that we were never going to connect. As a matter of fact for about a year I seriously thought of getting a second dog, because Ginger wasn't enough for me (she wasn't filling that hole in my heart). But that bond will develop. You can't stop it. ;)
Devan, I agree with what the others are saying. It's totally normal to not want to get so attached to Dance. Mark really had a very hard time when we got Roxey after Keisha died. I think it really took him 2-3 years to get attached to her.
