Worst Feeling EVER

    • Bronze
    It's the worst part about beeing a dog owner. They give us such great pleasure in life, so many great memories and experiences, yet they always leave us with such great pain..

    I can't read these kinds of threads without tears and sobbing. I wonder if I'll ever not feel my heart is breaking because Stevie is gone. [:(] It will be two years this January 11.

    I want to adopt another dog, which I think will help, but I'm so careful about the age of the dog...I can't lose another one so soon, you know? So I am even contemplating getting a puppy....

    I remember putting Twink down just last month....3:30 PM, November 2nd.  Waiting for that appointment was just heart wrenching, and I felt absolutely sick.  That cat was with me from the time I was 6 up until just last month, and I'm 21 years old.
     
    She was my first cat, first pet, and first real friend, and you never really get over that hurt.  I still have a picture of her from when she was about a year old.  One of my favorites.  It's with her ashes in my room.

    It's even harder being the tech that has to help the vet with it... It's so hard to keep myself professional and not cry with the owner, especially if the dog is a regular at the clinic.  The clinic I worked at had a special room just for that, had candles and a little water fall yet nothing can prepare anyone for something like that.

    First time I had to draw up the euta solution and get everything ready, my stomach just sank holding the stuff and I could not do it, I had to ask another tech to do it.  After I was there for a while a new tech started and she could not do it either and had me do the preparation, not exactly fun.



    Xebby, I've been going to the same vet since 1977.  No matter who the tech is, they always cry.  (My vet's eyes were wet, too, for Miss Dancer) Don't feel badly if that happens.  It always made me feel like my animals were very special to them, too. [:)]

    I can relate to this, we knew that our days were numbered with Babe, and the vet really let us know it was almost time. But it is so hard to describe the feeling of waking up after a happy day together and realizing that this day is going to be different and your life will never be the same.
     
    I am glad that you were there for her, and maybe after a time she will remember the pupper that gave her some love when she needed it the most.
     
    Now, I need to go find my kleenex............
