My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer

it is sadly beautiful. Micmel we had to put our 2 year old dog down because he had an enlarged heart and had had 2 heart attacks we knew of. It doesn’t matter if they have been with you for 2 weeks or 2 years or 2 decades, they are part of us. We love them and we always will. I am so sad for you and your family at this horrible crossroad. Your Pup will always be with you, even if he’s not in the room. Thank you Tag for all the love you give your Hoomans!

Mel- Hug. He will be in Heaven. Heaven would not be Heaven without our pets.

I am thinking of you and your family and beloved Tag, hardest but the kindest trip you can make all in one. He will know your love and be at peace. It will take a long time for you and my arms are wrapped around you and your family when it is done. Love you from afar, please know I am thinking of you.

Sending an embrace your way. Love between animals and people can be so intense and pure, and loss so painful. I know you gave Tagg the best life he could have. I hope that comforts you deeply.

thank you ladies for caring. It does mean a lot that you’re here and thinking of us. I thank you for being such good people.

I’m sorry, Mel. It sucks big time. I walk around saying my heart hurts. I came here to see if your baby was gone. Huge hugs. We don’t know what their friends think, as my girl would come in the door and run to every room looking for her buddy. I hope your other baby heals and can have quality time with his humans.

HUGS thru your pain.....

Micmel, we're sorry for your loss... Sending you a big, big hug!

Micmel, I’m so sorry about Tag. Nothing makes it easier but I feel the pain ❤️

Thank you Mods. Thank you everyone else.
I feel so upset. I miss his little noises and the way he was just our dog. Beautiful and good. He loved being petted so he was always by your side or at your feet. Dog is truly A mans best friend. Cats can be special also. I’ve had one of those as a child. But this one will forever bore a huge hole in my heart. I truly loved this dog more than any dog I’ve ever known. So hard and I don’t want a day like today for a very very long time with my Deeohgee. So he better stay healthy. Tags going to be thought of every single day. I am so upset we didn’t have more time with him. But I feel happy having owned such a beautiful creature. So thanks again for caring.

Beautiful dog indeed.

I’m so sorry, Mel. We will all grieve with you for your beloved Tag. You gave him a wonderful life and he will always be with you. Sometimes life just sucks. (((Hugs)))

Mel, I'm so sorry about Tag. My parents always had their dogs cremated and kept all the little cedar boxes. When Daddy died in May we took all the little boxes to the funeral home. They tucked them into the casket with him so he could be buried with his beloved babies.

It is not just a dog to an animal lover, anymore than my cats are just cats. They are family and this will hurt for a long time and then you get to the point where the fond memories that Tag brought your family will come to the forefront and you'll be able to reminisce without the same level of pain as you have now. You'll always miss him but he will be fond memories for you all.

I have a cat that died almost 20 years ago named Dippy. She was the first cat who chose me as her main person. She got breast cancer if you can believe it and toughed it out for 3 months with bandage changes. I put her down when she could no longer hold food down. She fought the sedative they gave first so they had to give two. I was gutted and even today feel a sense of missing her without the sadness. I miss other furry family members too, but the overwhelming grief just eventually passed. No timetable on that.

I would venture to say I don't find the grief process for a beloved pet any different than when my mom and long ago, my dad passed away.
