      Mood June 10, 2008 1:45am

      We finally had to put her down, after 16 years of life. Her quality of life was getting worse and worse. We would find her staring into corners, tail …

      I stated this goal, but I didn't do anything about it. Of course, I kept my usual hiking schedule, but I also kept overeating. And candy …

      From naukana June 9

      So sorry to hear for your loss too. It is very hard to lose a beloved pet no matter how big or how small. We gave them the love and they return it to us. Maybe that what makes it that much harder and painful. In time we will heal.Thank you for your comfort. Naukana

    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      Been married for nearly 16 years: two kids, one dog, and I am finally understanding that it's not normal to be afraid of your husband. He hasn't actually hit me... yet. But a few days ago he punched the keyboard of my laptop (my lifeline) because he suspected me of chatting with men. I wasn't chatting with anyone, but that's beside the point. I am in fear of my husband, because he can hurt me like no one else. And I don't just mean physically. It's the mental degradation....

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Not Working
      Counselor said she would not treat us unless he went for alcohol counseling to determine IF (haha) he as a problem. Or maybe it's me, like he says.
      Leave Considering
      I have to leave a European country without him knowing that I'm really bailing on him and the marraige. I am afraid this country will make me stay or lose my kids.
      Pets Working / Worked
      She's the only one in the family who loves me all the time.
      Time Not Working
      It's been nearly two years since I hit rock bottom with him. I'm still not over his abuse, and it's getting worse since we moved back to his country.
    • Close Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Pet

      Since 2001, five men in my family died, including my dad and my grandfather. Now my beloved toy poodle is having trouble walking and suffers from some sort of disorder that makes her seize up at any moment. She's nearly 16 years old. And I know what I have to do. But all this in the midst of preparing to leave my husband of 16 years. We have two children, and the three of us are afraid of him; especially when he's drinking. I am caught in a bitter cycle of abuse and restitution....

      Treatments

      Crying Somewhat Helpful
      I'm not crying a lot, she's still with me, but the anticipation of it... it makes me cry sometimes. I'm afraid to live without her. I can't believe I will never see her again.
    • Open Pet Bereavement

      I think this is the last bag of dog food... I have thought this before, but this time it's probably for real. Last bag of dog food, last packet of heart medication, last couple of weeks spent with my very best friend, and the one who loves me most in all the world. Yes, I have a family that loves me, but no one knows me as well as she does. And even though I have been well-loved by humans, I have never been hurt by a dog. Human love hurts. Now I might have to do the unthinkable....
