My Piglet is gone
we had her put to sleep today after she stopped eating and could no longer walk up and down the stairs in our apartment to go to the bathroom. Part of me wanted to make excuses and say she would have a better day tomorrow but when I heard her soft sighs of pain, I knew it was time to let go of my grief and let her go. She was the worst dog I've ever known but she was the best friend I ever had.
My house is so quiet and lonely without her.

Rest in peace Piglet.

What a beautiful little girl. You did a compassionate thing for her at the expense of your own pain. Take comfort in knowing you acted unselfishly on her behalf.

6. I'm sorry for your loss....will you be getting another dog?
I realize that may not be the best question to ask, but it's what I would be thinking of...they are irreplaceable as far as companions go...she seemed to be very special. Again, I'm sorry..I know how hard it is believe me I know

13. Thank you
losing Piglet has been harder emotionally than losing me dad and sister. She followed me every where. She was my constant companion. I'm putting off going to bed because she won't be there to snuggle with me. Tomorrow is going to really hurt.

I can't believe how much pain I feel today. I'm completely lost without her and incredibly lonely. My husband works all day and my best friend moved to Hamburg two months ago so I'm just sitting here sobbing and bereft and all alone. I'm thinking about volunteering at the pet shelter and who knows, maybe when the time is right, I'll find another furbaby to love.

54. So sorry to hear that.
"We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way."
Irving Townsend


We are approaching the one-year anniversary of the loss of our Little Man Tate:


I know exactly how you feel; the first week is always the worst. And while the pain doesn't go away, it does subside.
:hug:

Also, as others have said, another companion is waiting for you out there. Perhaps Piglet knew it was time, and needed to free up the space that you might give another needy fuzzball a good home. Just a few weeks after we lost Tate, this little guy came running up and said, "Me! Take me home! Give me lots of love!"


We are certain Tate guided him to us.

55. Thank you so much for your post
It comforts me to know this gaping hole in my heart will start to heal eventually.

In my desperation today I looked at the local shelter's website and I think I'm going to volunteer there with the hope that I might find another friend to love and take care of very soon. :hug:

56. All of our cats were adopted ferals, until Weird Harold (the new guy); he was a shelter cat.
We went to the local shelter to check out the kitties, and Weird Harold ran right to me and Mrs. Rat and made it known he was The One.

Each day will be a little better, some days will be really hard, but it really does get better over time. It never goes away, but it does get better.

Weird Harold. You've made me laugh for the first time today.

I am actually feeling a little better tonight. Especially after reading DU.

My first ever adult pet, a cat named Othello (also my first ever cat) was put down on June 2, 2008. February 8 2009 his brother Iago followed. My point is only that I understand. RIP to your Pig. :hug:
