Heartbroken...

Last Monday it was time to let my beautiful dog go...she was only ten but very poorly and it was absolutely the right thing to do for her, the last act of love.
I was utterly heartbroken.
One of the things that helped was my two other dogs and although not quite themselves, they were managing well.
Yesterday morning, the one closest to my big girl that died on Monday collapsed and died. The Vet thinks heart attack.
I'm numb... absolutely bereft.
Both were rescued from pretty appalling situations and loved so much - even writing the words is making me cry.

My son's big old rescue dog died recently and the younger rescue is bereft - so miserable... now this little friend is ill.

It happens like this sometimes I think.

Even your words are making me cry.

I am so so sorry to read this.

We lost our dog almost 2 years ago and I miss her so much.
We got a puppy a year ago, yes, I love her but I'd do anything to have our old girl back.

Best wishes to you. x

Dee1012 I am so sorry to hear your bad news, you must be distraught. My thoughts are with you 💐 Take care.

My heart goes out to you and anyone who has lost a beloved pet. One dog you knew was ill and the other must have been a big shock. Take comfort in the knowledge you gave them both a loving home as you do when you take on a rescue dog or cat.
We had to say goodbye to our little mischief terrier two years ago I miss him every day. We do have our other dog but I think she misses her little friend too. Every time we take her out we laugh about the antics the little fella got up too.

Oh my goodness, how dreadfully sad! No wonder you’re heartbroken. Losing one is awful enough, but two, so close together….

so very sorry to hear about your beloved pets, the only consolation is that they had a great home with a loving family who will never forget them. sending you hugs x

So, so sorry to hear this. 😢 . We have all had to make the decision that our pet's suffering has to end, but to have the sudden death of your other dog follow on so closely is devastating.

It is very hard when we lose a pet. It will still be very raw. Give yourself time and i hope you will be able to remember what a wonderful life you gave to your dogs. It is so hard on the dogs that are left. Sad times - im sorry.

So sorry Dee1012 that's heartbreaking. You have my sympathy, the same thing happened with two of our dogs, lots of good memories though of the fun we had and their naughty antics. thanks

Oh dear. Oh no. What a sad week you've had. Your poor dogs. Poor you. Take care.

So very very sad. I feel for you. I really do. flowers

I’m so sorry, Dee, such initial sadness followed by an equally horrible shock. No wonder you are heartbroken, I think anyone who has ever loved a pet would be the same. sad flowers

I’m so very sorry to hear this. I would say that they were very lucky to have found you. You clearly loved them very much and undoubtedly gave them a good life.

So sorry to hear this of course it is devastating. I lost my beautiful cat very suddenly last August and had to put her to sleep very quickly- she had advanced cancer. I got two new cats, brother and sister from the same rescue centre , I love them but still miss my beloved Amie all the time. Take time to grieve it’s a terrible thing to have to face
