Heartbreaking, all the more so because we lost three of our four much loved pets within 3 months. Two were put down and one died the day after we made her final appointment at the vet. It was a crushing pain to lose them all so close together.

I hope this man will be able to welcome another into his life and heart at some time. What a wonderful bond.

I,too had to put my 3 dogs down within 6 weeks of each other. First two were 2 weeks apart and were suffering. Last, was my Sandra Sue, (my tagline from 2010) Sandy had minor surgery and was bleeding from gums night of surgery. Thought she bit her chain. Went to work the next day and got a call from my neighbor downstairs. Something was wrong with said Sandy. When I got home, blood all over the house. My poor baby was bleeding internally. When she saw me she laid on the floor with me. She took 3 long breaths and was gone. She waited for me to be with her. I had the ambulance take her to the vet who did the surgery. Bastard couldn't even look me in the eye. I had my baby cremated and she is on my mantle with my late parents. God, how I loved and miss her still. I now have a new home with an acre of fenced in yard. I have 3 poms and 2 shitzus. Gonna get a baby lab or German shepherd to grow up with my little ones. They have plenty of room to run and play. I often envision Sandy out there too. The pain never goes away. Never...

I hear ya. I had 5 within 3 years of age and I knew one day how bad it would be

Sure enough, from 2005 to 2012 . . . I will probably never have another one. Just too hard on me
