Hello all......
my name is Lisa. My dog Milo, he was 8 yrs old, was put to sleep yesterday. I had found out Monday that there was no hope, and because of one of his tumors, in his sinuses growing rapidly, he would end up bleeding out or not being able to get any air. I'm sick over the decision, I really couldn't take part in it, just handed it over to my mom because there was no way I could let him go.
He was such an incredible dog. I 'rescued' him, and it seems he never forgot that because he never left my side. He was so protective. Wednesday night I could not stop crying... and he just knew... instead of sleeping at the foot of the bed he came up and layed right by my face. He loved going on walks, hated rain, loved blankets.... I haven't made my bed since I have had him because he would undo the bed so he could lie engulfed in blankets. Anyway, it just really hurts right now and I miss him so much.
I never thought I'd lose him this early. I feel like I am never going to stop crying, and only a few people really know the bond we had, and understand how much this is killing me. I feel like I let him down, he had these tumors growing in his body and I had no idea, and the poor dog was cheated, just his past checkup in the summer, perfectly healthy. It all happened so fast. He should be sitting right next to me right now.
Anyways sorry to let that all out. And I am sorry for everyone elses losses also.

Hi Lisa:

I am so, so terribly sorry for the loss of your precious Milo.

We love these precious furbabies and we have to do the very best thing by them to ease the suffering that horrible diseases and age inflict -- and know that, as hard and horrible as it is for you now, you did the right thing for Milo. You are very lucky to have that final night with him in bed with you.

My husband are about a day ahead of you in the process -- we lost our precious girl Sadie at about 11:20 p.m. on Wednesday. Know that the horror -- that gut-wrenching feeling -- of it all subsides. The first 24 hours is the absolute worst. Now, it's just dealing with the emptiness and longing to see that sweet furry face again. I can't tell you much about how long that lasts since we're still in it now. But I do know that it's good to cry. Scream, cry, wail if you need to -- but don't button up that pain inside -- it's too much to bear if you don't let it out.

Gentle hugs and many prayers that you can remember all the wonderful memories that your sweet angel Milo gave to you.
