My little dog

[Cpearl]

I've been really struggling with the trauma of losing my little girl dog Thursday night. She was 16 almost 17 years old. I knew she was going to pass but it was all too much for me.

I had called the vet and set up an appointment to have him put her to sleep on Monday. But my brother who was going to take me said he had to check with his wife, then said Wednesday. I called the vet back and the said the Dr. wouldn't be back in until Friday, so I made the appointment for Friday at 2:15.

I told my brother I didn't think she would make it that long. Her suffering has been too painful for me! I have been having an awful time with this. I will not go into the details as I don't want to cause anyone else the pain that I am now suffering. I have so many regrets, things I should have done differently, I didn't want her to suffer as she did.

thinking of you. Always a tough decision, when is the right time. She lived 16 almost 17years. So well done you & I'm sure that you gave her a good comfortable life. Let the regrets go & try to focus on the goood times.

I am so sorry, My post wasn't clear enough. I think I was in shock. She didn't make it to the appointment and watching her suffer and pass was a very traumatic experience for me. I am still kinda shaky and not really doing well. Thank you to all who have responded with kind words. I don't have anyone to talk to! I have reached out to my brother, my sister in law, and I am having trouble reaching my oldest son. That is all a whole other story.

I am a complete mess.

Yes I’m sure it is. Give yourself credit for all the good times. Look after yourself you did the best that you could. We all live with the If Onlys. It’ll take time. Be kind to yourself
