Thank you for loving this senior girl in her last year and working so hard to make it a good one. I'm so sorry for your loss. :grouphug

"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

It was a good thing, I think....my sister and I were talking about it later, and my sister mentioned that she'd thought it was time, because Mystique had visibly been losing weight, and while she hadn't stopped eating entirely, her appetite had definitely dropped off a bit. So she must've been getting close to the 'about to be miserable' point.

 

For the first time in ten years, nobody's needed me to take them outside to go potty. And for the first time in a year, nobody's needed me to make up their drugs for them. I have the cats, still, who need fed, watered, and looked after, but....they don't *quite* need me the way the dogs needed me. I somehow feel so useless and without a purpose.

 

As others said, it's wonderful that you gave her a good home and even if it was for only a year, it was a good year.

 

And I'm feeling this in a similar way. It wasn't until my Betty passed that I realized how sick she had been getting over the past year, and how I had just woven that into my life and schedule and didn't think anything of it.. besides stress and worry but also a lot of hope and enjoyment of the good days.

I'm so sorry. And we all understand that while taking care of a dog with health problems is often tiring and frustrating, that we do it out of love and respect for our hounds.

 

Mystique is probably founding a Red Couch Society of kindred spirits.
