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....

You are the most wonderful kind of friend that anybody could ever hope to have. Especially with your recent loss of J-Dog and struggle with worry over Goose, it had to have been very difficult for you to tend to a friends need. It is quite understandable that this kind of situation would stir up your emotions and sadden you all over again.

In one of your other replies you mentioned people who do not understand the deep grief and sadness we experience when we lose a loved furry kid. It is said that those people who have not experienced the true love for an animal have not had an integral part of their soul yet awakened.

Bless you for being you and for knowing how to be a true friend. May you find comfort, peace, love, and understanding wherever you go.

Much love and hugs are sent your way on this sad day.
