Today Options

Hi I'm new here. My family and I found out yesterday that our beloved Golden Retreiver, Murdock, had liver cancer. He was only showing any signs for the fist time this past Sunday. We are utterly devestated bc today we had to have him put to sleep. My daughter and I have cried nonstop all day long. My father and mother and sister have called me all day long, crying as well. We can not believe how sad we feel. We have lost our Purty Murdy. We have several other dogs aside from Murdy, but it's still hard losing him. I have squeezed and loved on them all day long. I truly can't stand this. I can hardly get out of the bed. Please tell me it gets easier soon. The hurt is big.

[Sidney's Buddy]

It's really, really hard. I hope that you heal more quickly than me. People tell me to remember how luck my buddy was to have me and I was to have him. I think that the people and pets on this site definitely were the lucky ones. At least I keep telling myself that.

I am really sorry for the loss of of Murdock. It sounds as if he was loved very much. I know how hard it is to part with a super-special friend.

One thing that has helped me is to collect all of the many photos I have of Sidney and make a photo album. I also bought a nice leather bound book and my wife and I are in the process of writing down every single memory that we have of him. The memories tend to get fewer and fuzzier with age, so atleast we can have a little refresher from time to time.

Good luck, and sorry once again.
