We Had to put him to sleep

[cyber-sibes]

Right now you feel like your heart is torn in two, know that nothing can ever take away your fond memories and the love you have for Jeb. Not anyone, not anything, not even time itself can sever the loving bond you two will always share. It's so hard to loose our pets, I lost "my little girl" over two years ago, too. Perhaps you would like to post a picture of him here on Pettalk? We'd love to see him.

Loss has been too frequently noted lately, in my own family, and in our Pet Talk family. I am so sorry.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Rest in Peace Jeb.

Just wanted to let all you who have lost your fur kids, that I am thinking of you this evening. I will light some candles tonight in memory of the ones we have talked about here. These precious fur kids were as blessed in their lives with their guardians as much as they are missed now. Please remember that they are honored too by recovery from the grief that goes with their passing. Their lives were about making you happy. They would want the best for you as you did for them.

God bless little Sissy. May she recover from her loss as well.

To all that have helped us get through today,I know you know how much your words help.You have been there and your heart hurt just as ours does.We are the type people that if I see a animal that needs help we stop and do what we can.My heart breaks for our fur kids. Sometimes we pick them and sometimes they pick us,whitch ever we are in for the long haul.Till death do we part.
I am sorry we don't have a digital camera.Jeb has such pretty solid black hair,alot like a poodle without the long nose.He is my little stud man.He thought he was a gigolo.He just didn't have the parts that he needed.But he didn't care.He was always trying,ha,ha..I have to go..Thank you all..Your friend Bob Roysdon in Peoria,Az.

Let me join the long list of having recently passed PT furbabies. My heart goes out to you. I know exactly how you feel. I lost both Killian and Shiloh within a seven month time span. I had counted on Shiloh to pull me through the loss of Killian, but apparently Killian wanted her with him. (STILL big tears!)
It takes a long, long time to smile again. You are not alone. We know how you feel. Little by little, you will cry less and less (takes a long time). However, the love for Jeb will live on forever in your heart. Big Hugs.

My general feeling is that one cannot wear out their welcome on Pet Talk. It has just created something for me to grab onto in my deep , dark pit of despair.

My hardest time of the day is--the night-----. I dread lights out and going to bed without my dogs. I am not up to getting another dog because , well, that seems like trying to replace the two I lost.

Me and my husband have been married for 35 years this month, yet it seems like only 5 years to me. We're both grieving for our fur kids. We have 3 grown children, and 8 furry grandchildren.

Reading the posts on Pet Talk has really helped me these past two days, like finding a candle in the dark. Never undestimate the power of prayer. I thought I had to go to a Therapist, or, that I was going crazy before figuring out how to post my thoughts.

There are so many caring people on this big planet. They have helped me tremendously, now all I have to do is take one day at a time. It is hard.



Sincerely

Kathy- Dorothy39

Hi Dot and the people that have helped me so much.I get a little better with each passing day.Oh I still cry when I find a toy or just a passing throught.
I was thinking about Jeb and when we first got him and he had that 'puppy breath".You all know what I mean.A puppys mouth smells so sweet when they are 3-12 weeks or more.Jeb,Sissy were.It just comes at no extra cost.And oh do I love to smell it.I hope I am not the only one or I am in trouble..ha,ha.
Another good day...Bob

I am so sorry you lost your pet. This brings back sad memories for me because it was on a Saturday morning 12 years ago that I had to put my chihuahua, Killer, to sleep. He had congestive heart failure and he had been on medications for quite a few years until he just couldn't fight anymore. I remember that morning all too well and I understand how you feel. It's like a dream and you're dazed. I wish there was something I could say to make it all better, but it's difficult to find words that will help. I want to share a poem with you...

We spent quite a few years together
And boy did that time see to fly.
When I think of the places we've been to
And the things that we've done, you and I.

You were there when I needed compassion
Always waiting when we were apart.
Then you'd welcome me home...
When I looked in your eyes I could see all the way to your heart.

Other friends say don't drive yourself crazy
'Cause you know it was time to let go.
But our bond was so deep and so loyal
And my God! they can't possibly know.

Now I feel so alone with my sorrow.
It's so hard when things come to and end.
Others say, it's OK, it was only a DOG.
But I know you were more than a friend.

I can't help but cry as I'm typing this. I don't think anyone ever really gets over the hurt of losing a beloved pet, but I hope it makes you realize that the love you had for him will never leave your heart.

I wanted you to read the poem I sent for robroy20. I am so glad to have found people like me who love their animals so much. This poem I sent to robroy20 is one I have in my kitchen with a picture of me and my chihuahua, Killer. I so wish that I had a digital camera to share this photo. It was taken on the night of my high school graduation. Just typing the words to that poem brought tears to my eyes. Imagine, a woman of 39 years still crying for her dog 12 years after losing her dog. My friends also thought I was crazy for crying so much. So much that I started smoking the day I decided to put him down. To this day, I cry whenever I read that poem.
