RIP: Sugar

[maekala]

Last night, as I was talking to my Mum on the phone and wandering around Target, she discovered that Sugar, the German Shepard/Golden Retriever mutt that we've had for about 14 years, was basically paralyzed from the neck down and had probably been that way all day

Oh maekala I'm so sorry for your loss!

*hugs*

Aw, I'm so sorry! *hug* What an adorable dog. We had to put our 13-year-old dog down a few years ago. We'd had her since I was 8 too and I was heart-broken. The memory of being with her as she died still hurts if I remember it in detail. But from the sound of it, your dog, like mine, was in pretty bad shape and there was no other way.

I get what you mean about it hitting harder than the loss of a grandparent. My grandmother was a sweet, loving woman, but we only saw her once a year. My dog was in my life everyday, so I felt her absence much more. It just kind of feels like I haven't gone to visit my grandma in years.

I wish you healing from your loss. It does get easier over time. Know she's well and happy now in the world beyond.

*hug* I know the feeling. At least she's no longer in pain.
Here's hoping the rest of 2009 is better for you.

Im sorry Maekala !!

That is so sad...when we lose pets it is different than when lose or human loved ones...so I know what you mean...its so hard...

The thought of losing my pup terrifies me in ways that I can only imagine is the same worry that parents have for their children...

I know that you will remember her always, but I hope the days ahead get brighter for you, despite her absence....

...afterall, she will always be around when you need her...in your heart and in your thoughts..
