Our dachshund has gotten much worse since I last posted

[bania]

Oh no. I'm so sorry Teeah. ((hugs))

I am so, so sorry.

Thanks everyone, it's done. At least he's not suffering anymore. Having pets is pretty fucking hard, no one tells you about this part.

Seriously though, thank you all so much for your kind words.

I'm glad you made the right decision for him, as hard as it was.

Another round of big hugs for you.

(((hugs))) I am so sorry. There is just no such thing as long enough with them.

I'm so sorry. Our dogs are 9 and 7 and I can't imagine losing either of them already. I guess I take it for granted that small breeds have much longer lives than large breeds, which they do, but sadly things can still happen to them way too early. hugs to you

I'm so sorry, Teeah.

How terrible. I hope that you can take comfort in the fact that he is no longer on pain. He was so very lucky to have people who put his needs before theirs.

I'm so so sorry for your loss. It's awful - losing a pet was one of the hardest things I have ever been through.

[winecat]

I'm so sorry.

I am so very sorry. This is heartbreaking.

I'm so sorry.  Losing a pet is the worst. ((HUGS))

I'm so sorry. Take care of yourself and let yourself grieve however you want/need to. Without "dumping in," I will say that when I recently lost my dog, I really felt like I was going crazy because no one seemed to understand how much it hurt. People grieve in so many different ways and for different durations. Know that whatever form your grief takes (as long as you are taking care of yourself of course), it is ok. You will be ok. And we are here for you.

I'm so sorry . Take the time you need to heal and don't feel bad for mourning your loss.

Ts & Ps with you in this hard time. I had two weenies growing up and I still miss them. I always seem to find little things that remind me of them like kissing "hot dog" salt and pepper shakers, or a book called Oscar (that was our little guy's name) the Hallo-weenie. While it was so hard at first, now these little things make me smile. I promise you it will eventually not hurt so much. Take care of yourself and any other pets you might have, because everybody will be hurting for a while.

I am so, so sorry.

We had to put one of our dogs down in April due to lung cancer. It is absolutely the hardest thing I've ever done. I want to let you know that we're still grieving. Pretty hard some days. Let yourself feel what you need to feel and know that there isn't a time limit on grief. Losing a pet is really hard. Someone on the boards posted this for me when I posted about losing our guy. It was hard to take in, but it really resonates with me now. I hope you're able to find comfort in your other dog and your family. Your pup was lucky to have such wonderful people.

"There is a cycle of love and death that shapes the lives of those who choose to travel in the company of animals. It is a cycle unlike any other. To those who have never lived through its turnings or walked its rocky path, our willingness to give our hearts with full knowledge that they will be broken seems incomprehensible. Only we know how small a price we pay for what we receive; our grief, no matter how powerful it may be, is an insufficient measure of the joy we have been given."

He's fine, I don't think he understands what's going on though.  I'm waiting for him to ask where he is but he hasn't so far.

[juliagoulia]

I'm so sorry :-( Saying goodbye is awful. Hugs to you.
