My family had to put down our dog of 13 years. It was truly the hardest moment of my life. It couldn't have been at a worse time either after the election and on thanksgiving.

So sorry for your loss, Jorge. Pets are truly a blessing - it's like losing a child or a sibling. We had to put down our sweet dog about 4 years ago and I still think of her often, she was such a good girl. Sending love and warm hugs your way.

Peace brother, hugs,

As a huge dog person, I'm very sorry to hear that. 

Anyone who has lost a pet know what you're going through.

So sorry for your loss Jorge.  All of us who have been through this understand the pain you feel.

Your little guy knew s/he was loved everyday of its life.

Makes me tear up remembering when I went through that some years ago. God bless.

I've lost two. It's a pain like no other. We only get them for such a short time, but they give us enough love to last a lifetime.

The Power of the Dog- Rudyard Kipling

 

THERE is sorrow enough in the natural way

From men and women to fill our day;

And when we are certain of sorrow in store,

Why do we always arrange for more?

Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware        5

Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.

 

Buy a pup and your money will buy

Love unflinching that cannot lie—

Perfect passion and worship fed

By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head.        10

Nevertheless it is hardly fair

To risk your heart for a dog to tear.

 

When the fourteen years which Nature permits

Are closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits,

And the vet’s unspoken prescription runs        15

To lethal chambers or loaded guns,

Then you will find—it’s your own affair—

But … you’ve given your heart to a dog to tear.

 

When the body that lived at your single will,

With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!).        20

When the spirit that answered your every mood

Is gone—wherever it goes—for good,

You will discover how much you care,

And will give your heart to a dog to tear.

 

We’ve sorrow enough in the natural way,        25

When it comes to burying Christian clay.

Our loves are not given, but only lent,

At compound interest of cent per cent.

Though it is not always the case, I believe,

That the longer we’ve kept ’em, the more do we grieve:        30

For, when debts are payable, right or wrong,

A short-time loan is as bad as a long—

So why in—Heaven (before we are there)

Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?

 

Always summed it up for me. My heart goes out to u>
