My little dog Benji died last night

Thank you.

I am so sorry for you loss.  I had a 14 year old chihuahua that I had to put down as his quality of life was gone.  It really was the hardest thing I have ever had to do.  And to this day (it was 3 years ago) I question if I did the right thing.  I went into a 3 month depression, he was my everything.  

Benji decided this was his time and I am sure he wouldn't want you to feel regret.  You gave him a stable and loving home.  And what better way for the wee one to go, peacefully in his sleep in his surroundings on his terms.  

My heart goes out to you, it is a difficult time but keep the good memories and as you said Benji is with his first Dad and Mac, he is probably frollicking like a puppy with them.

Thank you.  I"m so sorry about your little dog; it's heartbreaking to have to put them down.  I'm lucky I was spared that.  My Dad is going to take him to the crematorium tomorrow so I won't have to do that either.  I'll just spread his ashes, and Mac's at our cottage this spring. They loved it out there.

Hugs,

Kathy

So sorry for your loss.  Our animal companions are family too.  

Thank you; they truly are.

Kathy I am so sorry to your loss, losing a pet is never easy. It will be 3 years this March since losing my 16 year old Shepard/Lab, she was such an amazing dog, I had also adopted her, at age 6, from en elderly lady who developed Alzheimer's and had to be put in a nursing home. We had her cremated and her ashes sit on a shelf beside a family photo we had taken with her. I've not been able to get another dog since as it truly broke my heart when she went, my deepest condolences.

I'm so sorry, Cindi.  It is heartbreaking to lose a furbaby.  Thank you for your condolences.

I'm so sorry that this happened. I'm a "dog person" and can relate to losing one being one of the hardest things. You were very lucky to have so many great years with him and it's amazing that you rescued him.

My parents cat died while they were on vacation earlier this year - I was home with him - he had some ongoing health issues. But in the end, my mom said she thinks he waited until she was gone to pass, because he always held on for her. 

Take care of yourself and stay strong - especially when you go home. 

Thank you so much.  Maybe he waited until I was gone.  I'm sorry about your parents cat; so sad. 

I'm so sorry to hear your dog passed away, especially when you are recovering in Toronto. I know personally how tough it can be to lose a beloved pet.

It sounds like you left your dog in capable hands with your parents, and I would not give another thought to thinking he felt abandoned by you.

I'm sorry for your loss.  Take care of yourself!
