My last dog passed at 5 about 5 years ago due to a sudden meningitis like brain infection.
We got another dog 6 months later, but that sudden death was so sad! I hope my dog now makes it to 15 or more! |

reading your post. It really, really hurts to lose a family member, and you will miss your Sugar forever. He was so lucky to have a loving family like yours. Rest in peace, Sugar.

I love the word you used: "release."
Letting him go was so hard for you but it eased his suffering, which thank goodness was brief. And even while he was in pain he must have felt reassured to be in your presence and care, knowing you would make the right decision, however difficult and sad it was for you. You took such loving care of him; he had a wonderful life with you. I'm so sorry for your loss, and for the shock you must still be feeling. |

Her dog is 15 and mine is 14 1/2 and the time remaining is like a weight that gets heavier by the day...anticipating the loss is too much. I have complete empathy. These things happen for our family during the holidays for some reason. Of course that makes holidays bitter sweet. I feel your loss...
