Showing Original Post only (View all)My dog died tonight [View all]
Just a little over an hour ago. I have to wait until tomorrow at 7 am for the pick up service from the crematorium.
Lola was nearly 13 and had been with me for 11 years and 3 months of that time. I loved her dearly. She became suddenly ill a week ago, and the vet told me she was dying but not in pain, so I took her home to die with me rather than in a vets office where I couldn't be with her because of COVID. It was a stressful week, but I'm glad I was able to give her lots of love during this week's time. She certainly gave me a great deal of soul-healing love during our years together.
This picture is from just a couple of days ago.

I am so very sorry. You made sure she felt secure and loved until she crossed the Rainbow Bridge.

So sad, so sorry. Look at that beautiful face. The eyes. That had to be so hard.

6 months ago for mine. Took me 3 months to climb out of the fog of grief.
