Oh my gosh, I am so sad to see this. I understand what it was like, through the chaos of it all, no time. 2008 was that for me. My grandfather passed away in July of that year, then in October, I'm not sure if you remember my two girls, Anna and Rosie. Rosie (Beagle) passed on to the bridge first - her legs gave out on her, paralyzed her back - she couldn't calm down, she was freaking out and kept trying to crawl to the corner behind the TV set. It was time for her even though we wanted to try to save her, but the money was too much - it wouldn't help her either way, too. So we let her go. Anna held on for two more weeks after that - she just gave up, didn't want to eat or drink. She didn't care at all about anything. It broke my heart. I think it was old age too. Never really knew how old she was since we adopted her - probably 13 years old. I think she was heartbroken, and it was time for her to go as well. I was still at Ohio State so I couldn't say goodbye to the girls. It sucked, really sucked. But through it all, Mike (my boyfriend of almost 7 years) was there for me. I was and am grateful for that. My parents got Hank, a Beagle mix after Rosie passed on. My dad just thought, there's no way we're not going to have a dog after he had a feeling about Anna. Dogs are just amazing. Wish they'd be with us longer! Hope you're doing OK and just know that they are your guardian angels and now with your other dogs... just waiting to see you again someday.
