about 2 years ago today, we had to put down our Norwich terrier/cairn terrier mix. She had cushings disease as well as kidney failure. She was an amazing dog, we got her from the shelter when she was about 3, she was used by a backyard breeder, and was in very rough shape. She was covered in fleas, dirt, and ticks and was afraid of men. It was so hard to scold her because if she had an accident or if she thought she did something wrong, she would walk over to a corner stare at the wall and just cry (needless to say we didn’t get upset at her, just tried to comfort her). For about a month we tried ivs so she had fluids, with visits back and forth to the vets. Her last day she was shaking and crying, so we went with the best (and worst) option which was to put her down. We couldn’t let her be in pain. I really miss her. She had an amazing personality, and would even scold the other dogs. After we put her down, and started to leave the vets, I look in one last time, and the vet picked her up and carried her like a baby to the back. We got her cremated. I know she wouldn’t want us to be sad, but it’s really hard not to be. At least she’s not in pain anymore, I miss her dearly 💔

I can feel your pain. I also lost my very first dog decades ago but once in a while I see him in my dreams, especially during my deepest darkest moments, probably telling me to hang on.

The grief of losing a dearly loved pet lingers with us for a long time, sometimes not even going away totally. It is hard, but as you say Macy would not want you to feel sad. Hang in there. You are not alone. We are here for you in case you need someone to talk to.

They say that dogs teach us friendship, love and loyalty during their time on earth. So when they leave us, they also leave behind such huge holes in our hearts. I wish they also can teach us how to let go.

My sincere and heartfelt sympathies on the loss of Macy. :hugs: I share your love of dogs and understand your grief. When our last dog passed it left an overwhelming hole in my heart. This is one of my favorite poems.

WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME
Author Unknown

When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see;
The sun will rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
Remembering how I'd lay my head
In your lap that special way.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me.
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And pet me with her hand.
She said my place was ready,
In Heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.

But, as I turned to heel away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life I never thought
That I would have to die.
I had so much to live for,
So many sits and downs to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.

I thought about our lives together,
I know you must be sad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I'd wag my tail and kiss you,
Just so I could see you smile.

But, then I fully realized,
That this could never be;
For emptiness and memories
Will take the place of me.
And when I thought of treats and toys,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you and when I did,
My dog-heart filled with sorrow.

I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last;
For you see, each days's the same day,
There's no longing for the past.
Now you have been so faithful,
So trusting, loyal and true;
Though there were times you did things,
You knew you shouldn't do.

But good dogs are forgiven,
And now at last you're free;
So won't you sit here by my side,
And wait right here with me?"
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart.
For every time you think of me,
I'm right there, in your heart.
