We lost both of our girls within 6 days

I am very sorry for your loss.  Run free dear dogs.  

 Hugs to you at this difficult time.

 I lost 2 dogs on Apr 30th, and my 14 y o cat on May 15th, so I understand a bit of what you are dealing with.  (I have other pets in the house still, so not exactly the same).   Loosing multiple family members all at once, or close together, leaves a huge whole in your heart.  Like you, I had one who needed a great deal of help the last few months.  First I did one thing, then added another.  Once he was gone, I seemed to have so much TIME, that I had spent helping him, getting things ready for him and so on.

I do believe they live on, free of the pain they were in.  And I look at photos from when they were younger, and healthy, to remind me that yes, they really were ill and it was time.  Making that last selfless decision is not easy, but we as their guardians do what we must because it is right FOR THEM. 

I am so sorry!  Run free girls, there are so many of our loved ones there to play and run with, we know that we will see you all again and there is no more pain for you.  ((Hugs)) for the human family.

I am so sorry!  Its so hard to loose even one pet in our family much less two or more.....what a hole in our heart that needs mending.   I hope you and your son can find strength to know that they knew how much they were loved, and both of those babies are whole and happy  together now...waiting at the bridge to see you again one day.

 When I lost my heart dog Bubblegum some 4 years ago....it broke my heart completely...not a day went by that I didn't cry for her.  I worked at a  busy vet clinic, where her picture was and everyone knew that beautiful Dane and every day someone asked about her....and then I would come home to an empty house...so it was such a sad time, day after day.   While I'm not suggesting you try to replace your babies..I do want to tell you that a few months after loosing Bubby, I got Gibson.....and he helped to fill that huge hole that Bubby left.  He turned some of my tears into smiles. He has been a huge help to me and I love him so much.

I am sorry,double the grief must be quite hard to bear.My thoughts are with you and your family.

I am so sorry. Hugs for you and your family. Run free, sweet girls.

 How awful...I am so sorry to hear of your loss.....

We had to have our dog put down early last week, although a heart wrenching decision, it was the right one. 

Here is a poem that I am putting in my scrapbook of her....I really liked it and it helped us get through....

 
You're giving me a special gift,
So sorrowfully endowed,
And through these last few cherished days,
Your courage makes me proud.

But really, love is knowing
When your best friend is in pain,
And understanding earthly acts
Will only be in vain.

So looking deep into your eyes,
Beyond, into your soul,
I see in you the magic, that will
Once more make me whole.

The strength that you possess,
Is why I look to you today,
To do this thing that must be done,
For it's the only way.

That strength is why I've followed you,
And chose you as my friend,
And why I've loved you all these years...
My partner 'til the end.

Please, understand just what this gift,
You're giving, means to me,
It gives me back the strength I've lost,
And all my dignity.

You take a stand on my behalf,
For that is what friends do.
And know that what you do is right,
For I believe it too.

So one last time, I breathe your scent,
And through your hand I feel,
The courage that's within you,
To now grant me this appeal.

Cut the leash that holds me here,
Dear friend, and let me run,
Once more a strong and steady dog,
My pain and struggle done.

And don't despair my passing,
For I won't be far away,
Forever here, within your heart,
And in your memory I'll stay.

I'll be there watching over you,
Your ever faithful friend,
And in your memories I'll run,
...a young dog once again.
