That's because we are all so young here! lol!!!!
Death is always hard to deal with. Beldin was right. I had almost 14 great wonderful years with this Bright white with soft black spots Brittany Spaniel.
Tonight she was laying on her "bed" on the sectional with puppy pads underneath her liquid cotton bedsheets (yes this dog lives in luxury) , and when I walked into the room she raised her head up and wanted me to just stroke her face and touch her... of course I did.
Sometimes I think dogs are almost human....
I know I have to be the one to hold her while she is sedated and comfort her. I am the one she comes to for petting, playing, romping around, and just some good hugs.... We often sleep together from around 3:00 a.m. till my wife gets up on the reclining sofa. She always has to be touching me. I think I am her security blanket...
Anyway, this is really tough..... needs to be done as humanely as possible and with love.. Unfortunately, we will still feel the loss when she is gone.....
No more animals for me. Too hard to let them go...
And yes, Marines can and do cry......
