Things just got worse
« on: Feb 16, 2019, 05:24:45 AM »
Yesterday I had to have our little Cavalier King Charles, Fleur, put to sleep. Can't really get my head round things. Just 13 months ago I had a wife, a brother, a sister and a dog - and now they are all gone.

Thank you for the days, the days you gave me.

I'm so sorry to hear about Fleur.  It's not an easy decision, but at least you know she's not in pain.  You really have had a rotten time of late.

Oh dear....How very sad..  That is all I can think of to say..x
Everything will be alright in the end, and if it’s not alright, its not the end.

That's sad news Mike, but you & Veronica gave Fleur a full & good life & you gave Veronica a good life, despite her illness.

Michael I hope reading this poem will give you some comfort. Worked for me having been in a similar position as yourself a few times after saying goodbye to our pets over the years.

That's lovely - brought tears - lots of them - to my eyes

Thanks, folks - I do appreciate the support I get here - the sort of silliness - a few minutes ago I was about to put down fresh water for her

Oh, you'll be doing things like that for quite a while if you're anything like me & I got comfort from it.

I still talk to the ones that have passed, on a regular basis, because to me they won't be dead while ever I'm alive.

I can be as hard as nails with humans, but not with our canine & feline companions.

What can one say Michael, it might all seem like empty words but I sympathise with you in your sad losses and it is easy to say time may heal.

I'm so sorry you have lost your furbaby, I know exactly how your feeling and it's horrible. When I lost my 2 Old English Sheepies within ten months of each other it brought me to my knees.  :'(
