Lost my girl yesterday

[Itstheway]

We lost our beloved girl yesterday, she was ill before Christmas and diagnosed with a heart tumor. They performed life saving surgery and we got another few precious months with her, our vet agreed to come out to us she went peacefully at home surrounded by loved ones having all of the cuddles. Now what do we do, she was my whole life and more, I brought her home 1 week after relocating and has been my sidekick for the last 9 years, she’s been through 3 house moves, a wedding and many more special memories. My heart is broken :( my brain is not my friend today and is telling me you should’ve let her stay in your bed more (she slept in the bed 5/7 nights) and you should’ve walked her more, even though she was walked everyday it didn’t rain and she wouldn’t step foot outside if it was! not sure what the point of this post is, maybe a rant/open up.

So sorry for your loss, its a horrible time allow yourself time to grieve and remember all the wonderful memories you have with her
I think we can all be guilty of thinking about the things we precieve we could have done better
But you know that dogs love us and all the time together was as much a gift to her as it was to you
Take care

I'm so sorry to read about your precious girl ..... I'm sure you gave her the best and happiest life possible, and she would've known everyone loved her ❤️

So sorry to read this 💐 you gave her the best.
Take care.x

So sorry for your loss. I know exactly how you feel. We lost our little dog before Christmas- like you we were lucky that the vet came to our house meaning she was in her bed snoozing in a familiar place rather than at the vets where she had become terrified over the previous 6 months due to visits and tests she had gone through to diagnose her health issues.

It's like any bereavement - it takes time to come to terms with. Our old girl was 15 and a half so had a good innings but DH and I still tear up when we talk about her or see pictures of her.

DH still says how guilty he feels about letting her go and that she didn't make it to Christmas but it was time and just not fair to keep her around for our benefit.

It's such a hard choice but you know when it's time and you will come to realise the feeling that you didn't do enough is not rational.

Take care x

So sorry to read this
It's an indescribable pain , please remember fondly the wonderful joy you brought each other 💐

So sorry op, I know exactly how you feel we lost our 8yr old suddenly at the weekend.

Like you I'm just so heartbroken, it's really surprised me how bereft I feel. They are just always there aren't they, our little shadows asking for nothing more than a pat and a treat. I feel guilty too for the times I rolled my eyes when she was under my feet. We've got to keep telling ourselves we loved them and they knew it.

Our ashes came home yesterday so we have them next to a picture of her. Seems crazy I never thought I'd do stuff life this before I had a dog!

Big hugs .

I'm so sorry, I lost my boy nearly 3 weeks ago, it sucks, I miss him, he just filled the house with his presence, I still have his little sister but she is pining, so we are just being sad together, but I think I am going to have to get another dog for her as she needs a leader, or at least someone to take the spot light of her as she is an absolute wall flower and she isn't enjoying being front and centre.

Thank you all for your kind comments and taking the time to reply, it’s the most heartbreaking thing and I don’t think any of us will ‘get over’ the fact they’re gone, we just have to accept the only ones suffering are those still here. Sending hugs to you all, hopefully time will be our greatest healer 🌺

It’s hard. I’ve just lost one of my girl cats. She was poorly and we got a diagnosis but she slipped away just before we could collect the drugs for her. My beloved black cat is also not well and I know we will probably lose him in the next year or so. Had him since he was five weeks old and it’s going to be so hard when he goes. I’ve had other cats over the years and it’s been varying degrees of hard when they went.

Hit post before I added my condolences to you OP, I hope you can remember fondly all the walks and treats with your beloved girl 💐
