When a relationship of love is disrupted, the relationship does not cease. The love continues; therefore, the relationship continues. The work of grief is to reconcile and redeem life to a different love relationship. ~ W Scott Lineberry

"It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life, gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are." -- Unknown

I feel even worse today. She wasn't beside me to cuddle when I woke up. She wasn't there to follow me and wait for her breakfast. She wasn't there to prepare her meal, using things I've found to entice her to eat. She wasn't there to go out the dog door as she always does after breakfast, and then come find me when she comes back in so she can settle somewhere near me. Her little face wasn't there to look at me, to touch. There's an emptiness. Not just in here but in me. I wish I could just sleep. Sleep so I don't have to feel this horrible grief.

 

My heart feels so broken.

:grouphug The first three days are the worst. Then they get different-better in tiny increments. Allow yourself to just go where you need to to get through this very challenging time, don't place any demands on yourself. I'm so sorry. How is Rudy doing? :grouphug

Rudy is fine. He never had a great relationship with her. She made him nervous with her stumbling and pacing. Raven was the one attached to her more. She seems quiet. More withdrawn. Obviously ate her breakfast (she is a lab mix after all). She came to bed with me after awhile last night but stayed in her usual spot near the foot of the bed.

 

I just want to show how I set things up for Tasha. I cleaned her big bed, the one I bought years ago for her and for my golden retriever to share. They both laid on it a lot. I washed her favorite fleece blanket, and put a fresh pillowcase on their pillow.

She was given a sedative to calm. And then we laid together in the bed for a long while. I held her and stroked her and told her how good she was. I told her how much I loved her. That she wouldn't have to have another painful winter on her little joints, that she wouldn't have to worry about losing her bowel or bladder control, that she wouldn't have those nasty fall allergies. I told her she meant so much to me. And then when it was time, they gave her a shot and she passed in my arms. I held her. I watched her last few breaths. It didn't even seem like she was really gone. She still looked alive.

 

I let Raven and Raven come sniff her. Raven did a little but Rudy just wanted to charm the doctors and show how sweet and wonderful he is.

 

Later, they both sniffed the bed a bit.

 

I took up her dish and feeding area so that would not face me first thing in the morning. I'd rather just go back to sleep for awhile and not face it all.

 

Thank you everyone.

The first few days after are always the worst. The shock of the event has kind of worn off and the reality and constant reminders are there. I know what an awful and exhausting feeling it is. This is a normal process of grieving. Things WILL get better. It looks like she had a very peaceful passing.

What a stunner she was in her prime. Your photos were lovely, and brought me to tears.

I just lost my SkeeterBug (17 yo) a few weeks ago, and this brings it all back so fresh.

We loved them with all our hearts and gave them the best life any dog could wish for.

And when it was time, we allowed them to go in our arms, knowing how loved they are,

and that they will never be forgotten.....ever. Skeeter's harness & leash are still hanging

by the door.......his snart is still on the back glass of my suv. Every night, that spot by my

right shoulder where he snuggled is cold & lonely.

 

We'll stop crying, eventually, but we'll never forget how blessed we were to have had them

in our lives for so long.

 

Thinking of you........

Blessed is the person who has earned the love of an old dog.

What a lovely girl. I'm so very sorry.

I love, and have loved, my greyhounds, but the mutts are so very special.
