Like others have said, I was not surprised, but my heart aches for you both. I lost my girls about 7 years ago, both black and white English Springer Spaniels, about 9 months apart. First Sadie, at 13, then Darby 9 months later, at 9. We cried non-stop for days. It took me a year before I could talk about them w/o crying. We still don't have dogs, but I feel one is in out near future. You may need another dog, but for now, give more cuddles to sweer Sophie.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12921964124759516856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185139.post-86046393986890204232016-03-22T17:14:36.337-04:002016-03-22T17:14:36.337-04:00As you know from my comment on Facebook, I learned...As you know from my comment on Facebook, I learned this terribly sad news there. I knew you'd write about it here, but I made myself wait to read about it here. Even with this delay, your words still brought tears. Knowing how special Petey was and how much you loved him, its understandable that life just doesn't feel 'right' now. Having lost a beagle and a cat within the last 5 years, I can assure you that you'll never be the same, but you will adjust to a new normal. Spouse wanted to wait a while before getting another dog, presumably to sufficiently mourn the loss of our beloved. But I now wish we hadn't waited to adopt again. A dog brings so much to life! Why delay that joy?

I feel I can ...I am profoundly sorry for your loss. I feel I can understand it, having to "put down" two cats that had become my surrogate children. I stayed for the final moment with the first one, and the emotional wreckage is still far too easily accessed. For my baby girl, I stayed awake all weekend with her, watching her do strange things such as eat her litter. The "magic cure" she had received on Friday just didn't take. She had been with me for nearly 16 years (one month shy) and I had to break my promise to her to be there through the end. I just could not stay with her for her final moments. I watched as they made her very comfortable, and then had to leave. <br /><br />My mind still plays tricks on me, in that I sometimes think I feel her walking around the bed when I am in it. Just today, I woke up and thought I heard the baby boy eating in the kitchen. <br /><br />Petey will always be with you, at least in memory. I hope you and 710 feel better soon.<br /><br />By the way, how is Sophie taking things?Peter Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00856372996250471883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185139.post-14212010411489981502016-03-19T16:45:33.384-04:002016-03-19T16:45:33.384-04:00I am so sorry to hear about Petey.

No matter how unsurprising or inevitable such things are we still don't want to believe it and there's nothing that can soften the blow when it comes, as well as its aftermath.<br />I'll be carrying a heavy weight inside me for the rest of today at least, you a lot, lot longer of course.<br />I hope you and 710 manage to obtain consolation in the happy memories dear little Petey has left you with.
