To sleep in the garden tonight

[NotQuiteUsual]

My beautiful dog is going to be put down tomorrow. Shes in pain and the cool air and grown outside seems to offer some relief. She doesnt like to be alone. So I'm thinking about just sleeping in the garden to join her. But im aware that for one I'm grieving and thats clouding my judgement and for two I don't have the most clear judgement anyway.

I should add I'm a scout leader so I'm not afraid of the elements. Its dry and pretty temperate here tonight and I have a lovely double sleeping bag to cosy up in.

Aibdriven mad from grief or should I go for it?

I'm so sorry that you and your family are facing this. It's the hardest part of being a pet parent. 😭
They love us so, so much and this is our last act of love for them to relieve their suffering.😢

I'm so sorry. Thinking of you today OP. What a beautiful dog.

We're having a lovely relaxed day. Lots of tears, treats and endless cuddles.

Star is starting to go off food. She didnt even want any curry and she loves curry. Me and dson(the closest to her out of the kids) have spent ages in the garden with her in my big sleeping bag.

Stars sleeping deeply today, but struggles to get comfortable considering she has boney growths in her shoulder. It's definitely time and that hurts so so bad.

Thinking of you and Stars 💐, so sorry, does sound like the kindest thing to do has arrived xx

Sending you lots of love. What a beautiful girl, inside and out. And how loved she clearly is. She is as lucky to have you as you were to have her xx

Shes gone. Part of my soul is gone too.

Oh it's just so hard, isn't it? We had to make this decision for our cat a few months ago. I know that we did the kindest thing we could have done for him at that point, but it doesn't make it any easier to lose your friend. Lots of us are thinking of you right now, @NotQuiteUsual

i am so sorry Hun i want to give u a big hug

I'm so sorry 🫂💐

I am so sorry x

I’m so sorry for your loss xx 🐾 x hugs to you

I'm sorry. She was loved and she knew it and you gave her the best last night and day. Hugs. X

Thank you for being such a kind, loving dog owner. So sorry for your loss.

That pain is the price you pay for all that love. No wonder it hurts xx

I'm so sorry, I'm over a year on and still remember the feeling. Thinking of you

I am so sorry for your loss. I'm glad you were able to spend time loving her and spoiling her.

Sending you so much love, what a lucky girl she was having you as her people xxx

I’m am so sorry.
You couldn’t have done more than you did, for your beautiful Star.
Your love for her shows with your every word.
You were lucky to have her and she was so lucky to have such a wonderful life, with you and your family. 🐾🌈😘🌺

Sending you all the love

Thinking of you this evening. It's the hardest part of having any pet.

RIP Star and much love to your family xx

I am so sorry. I wish there was something I could say that would ease your pain. I was a toddler when my first ever dog passed away. He helped me toddle, apparently. He was a golden retriever and would stand in the queue for the ice-cream van with a bag of coppers attached to his collar.

When I was 5, I had my first puppy and she passed away when I was 19!! I used to dress her up in dolly hats and take her for a walk in my dolls pram. She loved it.

You love a lot of animals and you lose a lot of animals. Yet you will never lose the joy, experience, and memories they brought into your life.

I am dreading the day I lose the ones I have now, the ones helping me raise my own family. For now, that is hopefully a long way off, thus I'll cherish every moment with them.

Bless you, it sounds like you gave Star an amazing life 💔

Go for it, but be aware you will be very cold, anything outside the sleeping bag will be cold enough to stop you sleeping, probably.

Glad you managed part of the night. Sorry you are going through this. Hope you had a lovely evening, under the open sky and the stars x
