We said goodbye.

[lexxasaurus]

Tilly, my sweet 13 year old pup, is gone. She was struggling and I'm so lost and crushed and wish I could have had just a few more hours, days, anything. My boyfriend had bonded with her over the last 2 years and he is also taking it really hard. We had a vet do it in home and she was laying on the mattress with both of us, getting pets and kisses. She didn't seem afraid. She seemed calm and relaxed. That was so important to me.

She lived in 3 states with me, comforted me during really shitty relationships, the loss of my dad, everything. She loved anyone who was willing to give affection to her and was just generally a dog that made people fall in love.

Coming home to my house feels so empty and I feel empty myself. This hurt is something I haven't ever experienced but I know she isn't struggling anymore and I put my wants aside and made the best decision for her.

Aw, I'm so sorry. The loss of a pet is so hard. Big hugs to you lexxasaurus,

I'm so sorry. She is so sweet with her big eyes!
It takes a while to get used to them not being around. My pup has been gone almost 2 months and I still go to call him when food drops on the ground.

I am so sorry

I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet girl. It is never easy to say goodbye. When I had to put my sweet boy down last Spring, I was able to find comfort in this poem, I hope that it brings your comfort as well.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

I am so sorry for your loss. You've been through a lot together and it's so hard to lose that sort of companion. It sounds like she had a lovely end to a wonderful life with you.

I know it sounds incredibly trite, but the pain will ease in time. I remember too well how you feel right now and my heart breaks for you. I'm about 2.5 years out from losing both of my dogs and while I will never stop loving and missing them, my heart has healed and I mostly just smile and laugh remembering them. In time your pain will ease too.
