Pets Mean So Much, Losing One Is Way Too Hard

[mouse]

What seems unreal is the level in which I have found myself grieving for my pet, I havent cried this much in a long time.

I like to think of it as our tears are making up for lost time.

Mouse,

I don't think the level of grieve is unusual for someone who loves animals. If it is, then I'm strange because I cried off and on for a week at least.

Take care,

Zoe

what's happening to you is very sad, i am so sorry.
i am very sorry.
actually it's mostly about your loss and not for your dog, since (basing on what i read) he has lived a long life in a farm chasing rabbits and playing with you and your family, and now that his life is not good anymore he's got someone who cares enough to end his suffering. he sounds like a very lucky dog.

Mouse,

We had to put our old dog down because she was so sick. My husband and I, the vet tech and the vet were all crying when Sassy was gone. Tears are a way to show you care and your grief.

I'm so sorry that you have to put your dog to sleep. They become part of our families so quickly.

*Hugs*

Hi Mouse,

Just want to check in and see how you are managing today.

Cougie and I are thinking of you. Hope your good-byes will help you grieve some more.

*hugs*

Feed Jake

Sung by: Pirates Of The Mississippi


I'm standing at the crossroads in life...
And I don't know which way to go...
You know you've got my heart, babe...
But my music's got my soul...
Let me play it one more time...
I'll tell the truth and make it rhyme...
And hope they understand me...

Now I lay me down to sleep...
I pray the Lord my soul to keep...
If I die before I wake... feed Jake...
He's been a good dog...
My best friend right through it all...
If I die before I wake...feed Jake...

Now Broadway's like a sewer...
Bums and hookers everywhere...
Wino passed out on the sidewalk...
Doesn't anybody care?
Some say he's worthless, just let him be...
I for one would have to disagree...
And so would their mommas...

Now I lay me down to sleep...
I pray the Lord my soul to keep...
And if I die before I wake...feed Jake...
He's been a good dog...
My best friend right through it all...
If I die before I wake...feed Jake...

Now, if you get an ear pierced...
Some will call you gay...
But if you drive a pickup...
They say, no, you must be straight...
What we are and what we ain't...
What we can and what we can't...
Doesn't really matter...

Now I lay me down to sleep...
I pray the Lord my soul to keep...
And if I die before I wake...feed Jake...
He's been a good dog...
My best friend right through it all...
If I die before I wake...feed Jake...
If I die before I wake...feed Jake...
If I die before I wake...feed Jake...

So sorry for your loss

I worked with a client on pet loss issues recently, and she seemed to be very comforted by the thought that now her beloved was free of her body, and could romp and play, and keep an eye out for "Mommy" like a furry little guardian Angel. Sending these same sentiments to you.
Much love,
Susan Denham

Mouse! I am so sorry for your loss. I recently went through the same thing and I know how deep the pain goes. I am very proud of you for being with your love at the end. I've been through this twice. I regrett the first one-- I did not help him enter the other side. It has stayed with me as a painful loss ever since. I have a sense of peace with the second one that goes to the center of my soul. Being with them and helping them pass is actually a big part of the healing process. Reading your posts, I kept talking to the computer screen----be with your love, please! So, be proud of yourself that you were able to be with him. He knew you loved him! You saw it in his eyes!!
