I cried for two years after I had to let go of my girl, who was with me for 15 1/2 years. Our boy was 13 1/2. And now we have a four year old. And we'll go through it again.<BR/><BR/>People who take care of old dogs who can't hear or can't see (or both), who can't walk real well and can't control all of their other functions either are true heroes. <BR/><BR/>Not everyone understands why we "keep them around." But you know when they're still happy. And you know when that happy light just goes out. And you did the right thing, of course. Doesn't make it any easier.<BR/><BR/>Come over to my place and have some wine. We'll talk about our old dogs and have a (another) good cry.<BR/><BR/>Take care. I'm so, so sorry.<BR/><BR/>PS My dad's middle name is Reginald and has been called Reggie a lot. It's a great name for a poodle!Claire B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00672272108651345776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-58414916354711853902008-12-02T06:01:00.000-06:002008-12-02T06:01:00.000-06:00So sad.... he was such a nice pet, we will miss hi...So sad.... he was such a nice <A HREF="http://www.couponalbum.com/category/pet-supplies.htm" REL="nofollow">pet</A>, we will miss him.Virginia Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546558894513875379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-33562586565515099262008-12-01T12:55:00.000-06:002008-12-01T12:55:00.000-06:00Oh lordy...it is so. hard.

But we did wait because we were grieving his loss. When we got our rescue dog I could see immediately why our friends said what they did. Brutus helped to fill the hole in our hearts but never replaced Max.Hugs to you and take good care of yourselfAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15238905633085051322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-10971059439078310902008-11-30T16:21:00.000-06:002008-11-30T16:21:00.000-06:00I'm so sorry.

My little sprite had been with me though a divorce and a remarriage. She had a zest for life but her brave little heart no longer functioned properly. I made the hard decision you did and I can say that I was truly thankful that I could give her the gift of not suffering anymore. I am sending a huge hug your way.
