Put the eldest of my 3 little dogs to sleep (Monday, 10-30-17).

He was twelve, an odd little dog, not demonstratively affectionate. Was companioned by the Chihuahua for ten years. His only exuberance was for running and barking along the fence for the mail carrier daily and the garbage trucks weekly. Oh, and one time he ran along the edge of the surf at the beach with his ears flapping. Ever since the young new dog arrived in August, the old pair seemed to have the air knocked out of them, then this month he went downhill. Well, as a Loungeteer said recently, our companion animals have "a life of luxury" with us.

Heart-healing thoughts from me to you, UTUSN.
going downhill. I expected it since she was so old but still weeks later now I'm still missing her so much.
Take care tonight and give the remaining puppies a hug from me
Grieve not,
nor speak of me with tears,
but laugh and talk of me

I loved you so -

I love dogs.
What a cutie.
We get attached to them, warts and all, just like they get attached to us.
My heart goes out to you.
I've been through many difficult things, but to me, losing a pet is the worst.
I've had to put down 2 so far. The one I have now does not seem to like me very much, but I'll be devastated when he goes.
I'm glad you posted about your pup. I smiled when I read about the running along the fence and barking at the garbage truck...that's what all of my dogs have done.
Try to remember those thoughts of your dog...they will bring you happiness in the future. 
I remember seeing pictures of your babies over the years. They were so cute. It's so sad that we can't have them with us longer.
take up big spaces in our hearts. Lucky that you had each other. Peace.
I have been there, too - and it never gets any easier. But it's also true - one thing you need to remember - he was very fortunate to have found you...
