Feeling Lonely Tonight

I am new to the site and am glad I found it. I lost my dog Buddy 2 weeks ago after 14 years. He was old and I knew the time was drawing near - he died at home with me lying next to him and for that I am grateful. I had called the vet to ask him if he could come put him to sleep but he said no, he'd be in the office in the a.m. I was so distraught that it didn't occur to me to call another vet that I knew to come help me. I am haunted by Buddy's last hours and the thought that he was suffering. I am so sad without him. I miss him so much and expect to see him and he's not there. It's so hard to change your habits after so many years. Some days are better than others and tonight it's not so good. Just when I need him the most to comfort me, he's not here. I am so lonely without him - he was truly my "Buddy".

2 Weeks Without You

My dear Bud Bud - I miss you so much. I knew the time was coming near, I could see it in your tired eyes. I am glad you were at home in familiar surroundings and that I was with you, holding you, when you took your last breath. It was so hard to see you go. I take comfort in knowing that you are now young again and running with the wind. You will forever be in my heart and I will always love you and miss you. Mom.
