I just lost my last dog, Sugar Bear. She was at least 16 or 17. She was laying just like she always does, so she must have gone while asleep. Heart breaking? My heart is just a muscle. My soul hurts right now. It's like sandpaper rubbing up against a part of me I can't scratch. And we are having a huge party for my nanny today. She will be 90 tomorrow.
Composure, it is hard to bury a loved one. This will take a lot of work the party is in 4 hours. Sugar was an institution around here. She was blind and fought off heartworms with treatment. I found her half starved and as thin as a rail, she was only 6 months old and already had a litter of puppies. I looked but never found them. Just a mutt starving next to the train tracks. Mange, fleas and ticks. She was so sweat and gentle. The rest of her life she spent in the AC and with many chewies and beds and pets and hugs. She loved life. She was one of those dogs that liked to smile. She loved everything about it even after losing her eyesite. Nothing slowed that dog down.
I can't even talk about cruelty to animals now, I've been knocked hard to the floor and can't pick myself back up ATM. Just thanks for this OP. It is how I feel too.
