Sad day bad day

[seduraed]

I may not be able to post for day or two . I've just had my beloved spaniel put down . He was bleeding internally nd not clotting. Went we went to see him for the last time he was covered in blankets. He opened his eyes to us for moment and then went to sleep again he was so weak he didn't even notice the drugs into his cannula. So he quietly slipped away. Nothing to be done he would have bled to death before tonight .

Ah but it hurts so much and my son was specially fond of him, I worry that it will worsen his depression .
Still have to soldier on I have two more doggies and a wife and son who need me .

Re: Sad day bad day

Been there wore the TShirt tis heartbreaking, just have to remember you didn't let him suffer and did what you had to do.

IF IT SHOULD BE
If it should be that I grow weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then you must do what must be done,
For this last battle cannot be won.
You will be sad, I understand.
Don't let your grief then stay your hand.
For this day, more than all the rest,
Your love for me must stand the test.
We've had so many happy years.
What is to come can hold no fears.
You'd not want me to suffer so;
The time has come -- please let me go.
Take me where my need they'll tend,
And please stay with me till the end.
Hold me firm and speak to me,
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time that you will see
The kindness that you did for me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I've been saved.
Please do not grieve -- it must be you
Who had this painful thing to do.
We've been so close, we two, these years;
Don't let your heart hold back its tears.

Thinking of you darling! My little sister lost two within a few months-both had been with her for more than 12 years. Nothing I can say will make you feel better so I will just send out the big hugs.:_tighthug__by_darkm

Re: Sad day bad day

Just need a little support. finished the first long walk without my spaniel, only two faces at breakfast and only two furry faces in the car. I hadn't realised what a huge personality he was. Still feeling sad but I know I did right by him and gave him 8 good years.

Re: Sad day bad day

Washed his bed and blanket today. I was going to freecycle them but my wife doesn't feel ready for that yet. I'll put them in he loft for now as I have a feeling that we will find another dog who needs a forever home. I still feel asif part of me has been ripped away. I keep looking for him in the kitchen. Still if the heart grieves enough the eyes can play tricks. I have photos and good memories. I need to remind myself to stay away from the gin bottle, I dont the man I become when I make friends with the Gin bottle and gin is just too beguiling.
