Members Lg07 Posted August 7, 2018 Members Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 I had always been against putting dogs to sleep, but after my chihuahua (Doli), who was my baby and my best friend, got sick again I had to make the terrible choice of doing it. Its been 5 days and I feel awful. I can’t stop picturing her little body :(, how she might’ve been scared or sad. I can’t get her image out of my head when we buried her. I cant sleep and I’m so sad. I don’t know how this is going to get better. I miss her so much. And I feel like people around me don’t fully understand. I know I should be happy she lived for almost 16 years but it hurts so much.

Moderators KayC Posted August 7, 2018 Moderators Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Sometimes putting them to sleep is the kindest thing we can do for them, our parting gift. You took her pain upon yourself, for now you are carrying it. You are a good parent, you put her needs ahead of your own. https://www.griefhealingblog.com/2014/04/pet-loss-guilt-in-wake-of-euthanasia.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jack Russell Posted August 17, 2018 Members Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 I am sorry for your loss. 16 years a long time. I had my little girl of 16 put to sleep on 19 June due to injuries she received and I had moments where thought I wouldn't survive it but I am here. There is no way of getting through the pain other than straight ahead. We all have to go though it unfortunately. We each handle it in different ways but just take each day at a time. I too still wonderful if she forgives me but I had no option. I miss and love her every day. I have belief that we will see them again when our time comes. She knows you loved her. Love for our precious babies does come with guilt, it is part and parcel because a we loved them so much. Thinking of you x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators KayC Posted August 18, 2018 Moderators Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 I definitely think they forgive us, more like they feel there is nothing to forgive. They know we love them, they know that we do what is best for them and don't want them to suffer. They are our babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cried a lot when I read your take into it, that I took her pain for myself. It has been hard but seeing it that way has helped a little. Thank you ♥️ And the article helped too.

Moderators KayC Posted August 23, 2018 Moderators Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 I totally believe we'll be with them again. They say we're energy and it doesn't die, just changes form. We realize we will transition even as they have and that thought gives me hope to look forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
