Hun you will get through this we all have and is going through what you are feeling. Each day will get easier I promise. I am sorry that you are hurting like you are but take your dogs memories and hold close to the fun times. You will need to take one step at a time. May God be with you during this hard time and give you a sense of his peace. God Bless take care we are here if you need to talk

I cried when I read your post! How wonderful that you were so persistent in loving her. When I first got Charlie he bit me on my cheek! I felt just like that when Charlie passed. I lost weight, cried like a baby, and ached in my soul! Serena was so lucky to have you! It's been almost a month for me and new challenges are forcing me to go on. I believe we will see them again! Hugs and hugs to you!

I'm so sorry and I understand and share you pain. Serena was so lucky to have and to share that time. I know it hurts, but you did the right thing and for that you are appreciated.
Try to take a deep breath and just relax, know that it's ok to cry and to feel the pain and loss. Also know, that just like it took time for you to bond with Serena, it will take time to before the pain is replaced with celebration of her life.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's not easy, I'm suffering the loss of my cat right now. He was a stray that I rescued when he was 6 weeks old. He was my baby and died just short of his 4th birthday from a heart condition no one knew about.
My father reminded me, and I think this will apply to you also, at least our dear pets had us to love them unconditionally before they passed, their lives could have been much worse without us. But instead, we saved them and loved them with all we had and I know it hurts us to let them go, I bet they are not sorry for having spent their last years with us.

My story and your story are almost the same. My baby Tinkerbell had cancer, her spleen was full of it. They removed it, but the cancer still spread. After surgery I had 3 great weeks with her, and just like you, one day I saw that she was in pain, and new it was time. I am devastated too, I am trying to deal with it everyday. My routine is messed up just like yours, I feel your pain. I will pray for you..

I am sorry for your loss and the loss of all that have replied to your posting. Unfortunately for me, reading this thread has made my situation worse. My story will probably end up like yours and that of “truefriend”. Two days ago I found out that my boy Casey has three tumors in his spleen. Surgery was considered, but an ultrasound showed fluid in his heart, which could be the result of metastasis to the heart. The decision was to do nothing because any intervention would be riskier than just letting things take their own course. I feel lost, like trying to bread where there is no air. I can not imagine my life without my sweet living teddy bear.

I'm so sorry! I lost my dog of 14 years on April 30th, and I am not doing well either. I just can't seem to accept it. I am finding his hair in my fleece jacket, on clothes, blankets....I want to take it all and put him back together.
Each day does get a little easier. Coming home from work and waking up in the morning will continue to be tough for a long time for me.
You're in my thoughts.

I think LeprichaunsMom has made an excellent point -- what would our pet's life been like without us??? My cat Max.....I got him from a pound where they euthanize unwanted animals. We both had our ups and downs over the years, but, thinking back(and I have been doing a lot of thinking back lately), he had a pretty good life. He could have done a lot worse than me, and my mom and dad and my family, who he was with when he was young.
I think that is very important to consider, when dealing with loss, or anticipatory grief, or guilt, etc....what kind of life would our pets have had without us??
