mappy Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Thanks all. We were hopeful he'd make it to Christmas but alas, we woke up yesterday to a dog who could no longer walk. It's what's best, but been a somber time this weekend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Sorry to hear about your loss, Katie but well done making the right but hard choice. My 21 year old cat is nearly there and I am dreading the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiddo is begging for a new dog now So very sorry. I know the feeling well unfortunately. Since my wife passed 4 years ago I have lost an animal a year. Had 2 cats and 2 dogs (all brought home by her), now down to 1 cat, and she is not in great shape. Guess that is to be expected when they all were within a few years age of each other. I haven't replaced any myself, but everybody is different and you know what is best for your family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Thanks everyone, really. We all had a good cry yesterday. The kiddo seems to be handling it as well as a toddler can. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiddo is begging for a new dog now My sympathies. Always hard to cope with this but even more so on the holidays. We went through this a couple of years ago and it was difficult for my wife and myself but I was surprised that it really hit our other 2 dogs hard. They spent a couple of months searching for him and it was very obvious that they were extremely depressed. Wife and I had to give them almost constant attention to help them get through it. So if you have some other dogs/pets that were close to him don't forget that they are grieving as well and will probably need some extra love from you and the family.

My 13 month old little boy is really starting to love on our 8 year old dog and it reciprocated. They ingrain themselves into our lives. I don't know you but I feel your pain as I've been there before...sending you good thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Thank you both. And yes, we have another dog who def seems to realize she's missing her buddy. Lots of extra love her way this weekendSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like your pup had a great life, so there's solace in that. Your pup may be gone, but the memories will always be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your pup may be gone, but the memories will always be there. Thanks, Mattie. Was a rough morning, as I am up first and always feed and let the dogs out. Was very weird, and sad, to only have to feed one. No carrying a dog up and down the stairs (as I have had to do for the last few months with the one we said goodbye to). Just a hard adjustment we are all making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a hard adjustment we are all making. It will take awhile. For a month or so I always found myself looking for that 3rd dish at feeding time. Or calling him when I was handing out treats. Once you start establishing the new routines it gets easier though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about "always" but I still have a few PM's from him the first week of Feb 2015 where he was saying i was crazy for insisting the pattern was looking good and we still have plenty of chances for snow despite having just missed that storm that hit New England. He was basically saying "its never going to snow, stop posting, your crazy" and of course the rest of that winter rocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErinInTheSky Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 It is pouring in Louisiana. It only pours in Louisiana. It's 55 degrees and torrential rain. That said, look at what we just got from the NWS. I think they lost their minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shudder to think of that your walls are going to look like when you get your first warning-level snowfall here...let alone one of the bombs we occasionally luck into.
