At which stage of pet loss grief do you feel you are currently at?

Stage 1 with "PAWS" Really struggling with the pain that comes in waves I literally let out a gust of a sigh and it's killing me because I made the decision to put him to sleep... I keep thinking maybe I was too hasty.

Mum and Lucky's Story so far

I had a hard time and wanted needed something to make my life better, happier. I visited the local cat and dog home as me and my husband had done numerous times before but this time there he was with his brother in the kennel, jumping, wagging his tail we loved them both but we did not have the room in our house for 2 dogs!

So my husband said "First one to lick my hand comes home with us" It was Lucky lol. We then asked when we could get him so the lady said TODAY! We asked his history he was about 6-8 months old she said he and his brother where abused by their owner. He neglected them and hurt them and when they both came in to the shelter they where "lucky to be alive."

That was it we named him Lucky and he snuggled up to me in the back seat of the car and he looked at me with those big beautiful eyes as if to say thankyou.

That was the start of a wonderful 14 year journey with my boy :-)
