We said goodbye to Xara today.

Thank you to all who have helped me and given advice and support over the last year since her diagnosis of CDRM.

She went very quickly and peacefully.

Im so sorry for your loss, its the hardest thing as pet owners that we have to do. You know you have done the right thing but its still bloody hard.

Thinking of you this morning, R.I.P Xara.
 
Oh Oberon, I'm so very sorry . . . I realize this will sound trite, it's well-meant . . . I will be thinking of you and hoping you are able to remember her fondly as well as grieving for her.

RIP Xara.

sorry to hear this but you know you gave her a good life and have done the hardest thing, but the best thing we can do for our loved pets....hope you can soon look back on the good times..... i (as well as many hho ers) know how you feel and it will get easier... hugs for you.............
 
My greatest sympathies..such a hard and upsetting thing to do but she's at peace now,paddling on beaches,sniffing interesting smells,playing with pals,eating favourite grub and waiting for you.
 
Thank you all for your kindness. It helps that you understand what I am going through.

I'm still trying to rein all my emotions in. I keep ranging from philosophical and calm one moment, to hysterical and broken the next :(.

I'm sure it will be easier in time. I am still in some disbelief that she's really gone and I'll never see her again.

The two words, "She's gone" totally slays me :(.

I can't be bothered getting dressed or leaving the house today.

My husband and son have been amazing. Hubby carried her up to bed ever night this last week, and carried her back down in the morning. My son has been so mature and wise throughout.

This was an appeal in the local paper, the week before I got her in 2001.

how lovely that you gave her a home when she was in need and you have done the very best for her even though it feels like the worst for you. it will get easier in time although i dont think you ever get over missing them......i know i havent!!!!!:(
 
I was just the same when we lost our dog earlier this year-I couldn't face much at all. Getting dressed and getting 'going' every day seemed pointless and I was in a kind of depressed trance,bursting into tears several times a day when I suddenly remembered that he was gone and I wasn't going to go and pick him up from the vets. It gets easier-that is the only consolation I can offer:( Even today,months after,my 6 yr old daughter just announced at dinner table 'I wish George was still here. I wish we could have him back Mummy.' Cue big lump in throat and I said 'Me too',husband said 'Me three' and 8yr old daughter said 'Me four'. Devastation in your heart doesn't want to let your brain acknowledge that they are really gone but eventually,time lets your head take over a little bit more and then it becomes easier,less painful. Lovely that you gave her a home when she had none. She will have known:) Beautiful face&expression in the newspaper clip:) .

That's exactly how I feel.
 
I know it is no consolation now (and you have to 'feel' what you need to 'feel',painful tho it is, to go through the natural grieving
process) but it will get better,promise. After 2wks,I was much improved-a lot less crying!!After 2mths,I could mention his name without crying. Now, 4mths on,I sometimes fill up a bit but can talk about him freely and with fond smiles(instead of a bit manic 'it's-just-so-unfair-I-can't-believe-he's-gone' sobbing!) Hugs to you(())
