I know words don't mean much when you've lost a friend you've spent so much time with, but if she was suffering - you've made the most humane, yet gut-wrenching decision you can make.  You've also come to a place with many people who have had to deal with what you're going through now and are ready and willing to help with a shoulder to lean on. Please post as often as you need to.  There's always someone here to listen. Wishing you peace, Ted Logged "We never close" imissbear Newbie Posts: 5 Re: suffering « Reply #2 on: July 28, 2009, 10:30:04 AM » Thanks for the support.  Everyday seems like a year.  I knew that the time was coming but I never knew it was going to be this hard.  I never realized how much a part of my daily routine involved her.  I caught myself for one brief second on Sunday night as I was locking the front door I started to turn and call her to see if she needed to go out.  It seems so quiet in the house.  She use to snore pretty loud.  She also dreamed a lot in which she would run and bark in her sleep.  I also would have to make sure I would not step on her in the dark as I left the house in the morning.  Thoughts of her consume me all day long.  I know time will help ease the pain but it helps to talk...Thanks  Logged Teddyb35 Full Member Posts: 157 Re: suffering « Reply #3 on: July 28, 2009, 12:47:45 PM » That's the hardest part I had to overcome - the little daily rituals that Scoutie and I shared - and now; fortunately Lola does with me now. There's a hole that's not only been ripped out of your heart - but a new hole that appears in your daily life. When you think about how much time you spend with your pet - then one day, it's all gone. The pain will eventually pass, and hopefully you'll start looking back at all  of the good times you shared, rather than what you're missing now. And when you think of it - you're only missing the physical presence - for the memories of our friends will stay in our hearts and minds forever.
