Dealing With Loss Of Three Beloved Pets, Dogs Poisoned Options

[Guest_Sass1_*]

On Wed. evening someone poisoned (with anti-freeze) three of my beautiful dogs. Sam ( Great Pyrenees) and Buster (German Shephard mix) died in the middle of the night the third, Fred (collie mix) I had to put down Thurs. morning.
Sometimes the pain feels like it will never end. I have three small children who are dealing with it I think better than myself. I haven't been able to sleep in my bed because it reminds me of that night. I was in a fairly deep sleep and heard thrashing around which at the time I thought was just the dogs playing. I remember thinking it sounded really rough but I was tired and didn't get out of bed. They weren't playing they were dying. We offered a reward for any information. One of the tips we received seems like it might be the guy. Unfortunately, we aren't getting much assistance from law enforcement. I feel very alone. We went out yesterday and picked up another dog from the local shelter. I'm having a hard time bonding with the dog.
Basically, I am tormented over their deaths and miss them dearly. We never received a single complaint from any of our neighbors which makes it all the more bewildering.
Finally, I feel like there isn't anyone around me that understands the sorrow I am experiencing which makes me feel even more crazy. I keep thinking this is some kind of nightmare and I'll wake up shortly.
Thanks for listening,
Sam, Buster, Fred's mom,

In regards to the posting by Clairecares I guess I don't see another side to this story. And honestly I take offense to you even mentioning it. In my mind I can't understand someone killing an animal no matter what. And I would hope that if my dogs ever did bother someone then I would have been notified. Sounds to me like you did notify this person over and over again. That is not my situation. We don't know yet if this was someone out to hurt us or if this was done by someone angry at our dogs. I have always been VERY sensitive to any excessive barking. If children were out playing near our fence and the dogs were bothered by this I brought them in so not to disturb others. I never CHAINED THEM UP or restrained them in anyway. We have a huge covered porch.
My dogs loved being outside they didn't want to stay inside all day long. Contrary to what seems to be the idea of some indivduals on this site by leaving them outside in a huge fenced in yard I've committed some upspeakable act.
The person who did this to my beloved pets is evil, bottom line no other side to this story.
I think it might be a good idea for me to leave this site. It's sad that I should have to justify my love for Sam, Buster, and Fred. Or that I should even have to defend the most natural of actions.....letting my dogs play in our backyard.
Please remove me from this posting site.
