Thank you for your reply. Your words really made sense when you said it went from so much meds and vets visits to nothing. I think that has also added to the pain as like you with Pepe, I was nursing him through his sick health daily and then abruptly it ended. I once slept downstairs with him...
Thank you. I've been watching some videos on you tube of dog's final walks which has helped too. It is comforting to see that it is ok for dogs to still be displaying normal behaviours on their last day. I can reframe my upset over bone burying to a happy memory and not a sad one x
Thank you. I'm going to focus on family like you say and the good times as much as I can. My little girl said yesterday.....mummy why are you still crying, Murphy wanted to die. I found her words quite comforting....from the mouth of babes
Thanks everyone. Still reading and re-reading replies. This morning I was feeling I had done the right thing, but then this afternoon I reverted back to questioning everything.
The image I cant get out my head (and i filmed it with my phone) was of him burying his bone in his bed about hour...
Thank you everyone. I am re-reading everyones messages over and over to help things sink in. I'm so sorry for all your losses and pain.
I called the pet bereavement line today and it was really helpful for someone to repeat the things everyone else is saying. I think I'll use their email...
So sorry to hear about Molly. I felt the life had gone out of Murphy's eyes too.
I'm finding it so hard to be in the house. Everything reminds me of him. I've still got his water out and uneaten kibble and his hidden bone in his bed. I cant face moving them.
My husband also cried. First time...
Thank you for your messages and so sorry for your losses.
My children seem to be coping well. I'd prepared my eldest for what was happening.
I just feel numb
Thank you all and sorry for the loss and pain you've also had to suffer.
At the moment, I am mostly remembering the times I told him off for trying to steal food, eating kid's hwk, eating deer poo and mud and stone. His pica was bad so he was trying to get nutrients. For a long time before he...
Thank you to everyone for your kind words. I would like to respond to you all individually but I just dont have the words only to say I keep re-reading everything and it all helps.
I just cannot believe he is not here. I have two young girls, 5 and 2, so I'm trying to hold it together as much...
Hello,
I posted back on March 30th about my dog Murphy who was very ill.
He had IBD and severe anemia and I had tried for 20 months to help him with tests and meds. After March 2019 he perked up a bit but last few weeks he went downhill and we finally made decision to euthanize him yesterday...
Thanks JudyN, this message really made sense to me; I think I've been scared to admit the remote chance of recovery but things seem clearer now. I feel I've started to accept things more now. Thank you x
