Prayers for my puppy please:( Update

I am very sorry, it's so hard to lose a pet, they are a member of the family.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I have a mini daushaund that is my baby and I can't imagine losing him. Reading this thread made me shed a few tears.

So sorry for your loss. Sometimes bad things just happen to good dogs and to good people. I will think of you and your husband while you grieve and your hearts begin to heal.

So sorry to hear that my dogs are my babies, one of them cuddles with me every night until I'm asleep then he gets off the bed and goes to sleep on the floor, can't imagine anything happening to him.
Hope you're ok, my old dog died whilst on a walk with my mum, just dropped down dead for no reason so I know how much of a shock that can be, he was only 5 as well xx

Thank you all so much. Honestly, yesterday was so hard. I didn't go to say goodbye. He wasn't aware of anything around him, he wasn't responding to his name. Nothing. My husband buried him on our land. Can't bring myself to visit the burial. I know it's just a dog, but I'm taking this MUCH harder than I thought I would. Cannot stop crying. I feel like I let him down. The vet believes that he ate something that was toxic. I have no clue what he got into. And that weighs heavy on my heart. He was so young too. The most gentle natured spirited dog, I'm so thankful I had him for 8 years of his life.

-this is a picture of him and I when he was just a wee puppy. Love him and miss him so much

Please don't blame yourself! Think of it this way, your family gave him the best 8 years of his life that he could have ever had! If he had not been with you, neither of your lives would have been lit in the same way. Carry that loving memory with you instead of the end. I know how hard it is, our dog was a family member too - she was mourned for many months, and I couldn't say goodbye at the last minute either.
Please know you did the best for him during his life as well as the best thing for him in death. Unfortunately we can't do the same for terminally ill family members in pain, but we have that option for our beloved pets. You gave him a wonderful life and you should treasure the happy memories you had together.
Good luck - let yourself mourn and give yourself time to heal!
Where in Canada are you? I'm in Toronto.....

I found this poem and website very cathartic at the time I needed it. I typed out and actually submitted my dog's story. Hope it helps,
Lots of hugs...

We have 3 furbabies, and they are like our children so I can only imagine how hard this is for you. I would be devastated for something like that to happen to mine. I wish it hadn't happened so suddenly for you, and you made the right decision to go ahead and give him peace, I'm sure that he thanks you for that. In the end, you loved him from the start and a dog knows when they are loved. It sounds like you gave him a wonderful life! Very sorry for this painful loss!
