I can't thank y'all enough for reading my story and my poem. It has been almost 6 months now since my son has passed and I'm still very emotional about it. But god has blessed me with another angel. 6 days after we put my BB King down I found out that I had conceived a child. So it's been a roller coaster. I'm so sorry for y'alls losses. We all cherish our animals. I can't wait for the day we are all reunited at rainbow bridge.
I grieve with you by: Coral
I had to end the life if my beautiful Springer Spaniel Ralph on 5rh November 2011 at the age of 14 years, 1 month and 10 days old. I rescued him at 18 months old from an abusive man and he saved me so many times in return. He was my canine soul mate and my son. It's been 10 months and 15 days since I lay next to him as he took his final breath and I have grieved and cried everyday since. My husband is supportive but no one in my life really understands the pain of my loss. I feel that a huge part of me died with him and this has changed me. It will take me a long time to get over his loss but I know that one day I will no longer cry for what I have lost but will smile for what I had. I now try to promote animal welfare and protection in his honour as I know that he would be proud of that. It helps bring a little comfort knowing I can help others. My love and thoughts are with you. Coral (United kingdom)
I Feel Your Pain by: Sandy Purgason Pegg
I honestly feel your pain and I am SO sorry. I agree with you I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. We got Lucky (beagle) when he was 6 wks old, right as my daughter was getting married and leaving home in 1997. I put all my missing her into loving him. I was so overprotective of him. I did everything I was suppose to do, up to date on vaccinations,etc. Then in Dec. 2008 he was diagnosed with cancer. The Vet recommended a daily pill to keep the tumor from growing so fast. He did fairly well for about a year and we found out the cancer had spread to his bladder. The next 6 months he kept getting bladder infections and would have to take antibiotics. But around Sept, 2010 he started going downhill. The weekend before Mon. Sept 20 he started losing control and passing a lot of blood. We took him in on Mon. morning and that was when the hardest decision of our life was made. He also was like a son to me, we also had him cremated, that day haunts me to this day. It's been over 19 months and still feels like only yesterday. I feel like SO much of me went with him. Again, I am SO VERY Sorry :(
