So Sad!, Loss of my friend Options

[Victoria]

Hello all
I just lost my best friend on Sunday. He was just short of his 15th birthday. He had been sick for about 2 months. I tryed everything to help but nothing did. His name was J-dog, he was a very speical dog a Jack Russell. This is the hardest thing I've had to do. I'm having a really bad day today. I have two other dogs another JRT she is almost 13, and a Lab who is 13. What a crew! Both of my other dogs are joining me in my grief. I'm worried about my Lab he too is just hanging on to life by a thread. I don't know how I will deal with back to back grief like this. The Lab is my husbands dog, J-dog was mine and my other JRT is both of ours. She is having a hard time dealing with Jays death. I try not to cry around her, but it hard because she won't let me out of her sight. I quess I need some encouragement on how to deal with her. Gosh I miss my buddie so much....

Well I can't believe it been a week and a day. I did not relize how much time I spent caring for my J-dog. My life seems so different without him. I know I did the very best thing for him. He was a once in a lifetime dog... But I do have two more wonderful dogs that need me too. I quess this is something we all go through if we are animal lovers! My grief is changing but is still to strong to not cry everytime I talk about Jay-dog. The good memories are starting to come now. Before long I hope I can share them with all who have encourged me. Thanks for being here.
