Charlies_Dad Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Greg, I am sorry you are facing this. These pups are such special spirits and when their time comes, it is so hard to bear the burden of setting them free. I wish you and Bijou some happy days ahead.

MP_the4pack Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Oh Greg, my heart is breaking for you. I lost my little old lady Onyx last year at 15 when she lost the use of her back end. Her spirit wasn't ready but her body was. You'll be in my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest greytsmom Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 It helps to know others know what pain you are enduring. It seems to me, as we said goodbye to our grey just 2 days ago, that it never gets easier, but in some ways harder. I am so sorry for you both...
