I'm so sorry to hear about this ... your Cherokee sounds like the relationship I had with my Snickers. It is the hardest thing in the world to do what's right for them. I know you're in pain now, but you did so well, she'd be proud. Hang in there.

Oh Chelsea, I am so sorry for your loss. I've been wondering about you and Cherokee and hadn't seen this until today. Cherokee and you just really touched my heart I guess, as I'm in tears reading this. I am just so, so sorry.

Thank you all sooo much. I appreciate it more than I can say...

I miss this dog a ridiculous amount.. I feel like a huge chunk of myself is gone, and every second of every day I'm getting more aware of it. Like there's some gaping wound that's just getting more and more obvious.. I don't know how to explain it. I always knew she was a bigger part of me than just being my dog, but I guess I didn't know how big until she was gone. It's sooo not fair that she only got 11 years of life, and only 10 years with me. I guess it never would have been long enough..but 15 years still sounds better than 11...

Anyway... thanks again everyone. You guys are awesome. The people closest to me understand to an extent, but I know you guys really get it, and that's really helpful.

I know what you mean about the age. After losing Jake at around 7 years old, I truly believe that losing a dog to old age has got to be somewhat easier. I also know what you mean about realizing the gaps in your life left by Cherokee. It does get easier as time goes by, but it takes time. In the meantime, be extra kind to yourself. I'll continue to think good, healing thoughts for you and I hope you'll stick around and offer your wisdom and experience to the rest of us.

Cherokee stuff...
