I’m so sorry, Guin. I am a dog person, and my dog lives with my parents, 2500 miles away. I am going to see her for the first time in seven months in a couple weeks, and I am so excited to see my little fuzzball. Thinking of her, so far away, my imagination began to wander, and soon I was contemplating my parents calling me up to tell me Lu is ill, and they were putting her to sleep. My own imagination had me near tears! Not my little girl!
It’s easy to say, “Oh, it’s better for the animal to stop the pain,” but that doesn’t help us. Losing a pet is losing a member of the family. You have my deepest sympathies.
EXACTLY-it bloody hurts. In a way, it was a relief to see-because you could tell she was really hurting. But she was with us.
I don’t think it’s going to hit me-yet. That’s what happens. When you normally see her, she won’t be there. Like when my dad comes home from work, she won’t race to the door barking. Or she won’t cower when we run the vaccuum cleaner.
Thanks, guys. Thank you so much. I’m just trying to keep my mind on other things.
Oh dear. I am sorry to hear about your dog. I am an animal lover myself and know how much it hurts when you loose one. Know we are thinking of you at this time of sorrow.
