I Feel Cheated Options

[BK59]

I feel cheated... Poms are suppose to live a long life. Our little dog was only 10 1/2. Then in the back of my mind I hear "you cheated yourself" "he would have made it a little longer had you not had him put down". When we discovered the heart and pulmonary problems six weeks ago, I stupidily took on this "stoic" attitude that he was too good and precious of a little dog to let him suffer. I was soooo firm in my attitude... after his long and horrible last night on this earth and I made the decision.....now.... all I feel is sadness and resentment towards myself for not holding on to him for as long as I could. He Loved our family soooo much. He was so Dear.

PLEASE PARDON ALL CAP LETTERS. I'M TYPING WITH ONE HAND SO IS EASIER FOR ME. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING ...

BK59, HSLESGIRL AND TRULIE, I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSSES. MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES. YES, I ALSO FEEL CHEATED. ALEX WAS 15 YEARS, 5 MONTHS AND 11 DAYS OLD. HE HAD NEVER BEEN SICK ONE DAY IN HIS LIFE AND DID HAVE A LIFE SPAN EXPECTANCY OF
35 TO 40 YEARS. IT IS CRIMINAL (LITERALLY SPEAKING) WHAT WAS DONE TO HIM, MY BUDDY DOG AND STYX KITTY. THANK GOD I GOT TO BUDDY AND STYX IN THE NICK OF TIME BEFORE THEY WERE KILLED. I WAS TOO LATE FOR ALEX. HE WAS SO VERY SWEET, FRIENDLY, COMPASSIONATE, PLAYFUL, TRUSTING, TREMENDOUSLY INTELLIGENT AND TALENTED WITH SUCH A KIND AND GENTLE MIND AND SOUL. HE DID NOT DESERVE WHAT WAS DONE TO HIM.

SO, ALEX AND I WERE BOTH CHEATED. GOD REST HIS SOUL. I WILL NEVER FIND A BETTER FRIEND AND AM SO BLESSED TO HAVE HAD HIM IN MY LIFE. WILL I EVER COMPLETELY RECOVER LOSING HIM? I SERIOUSLY DOUBT IT. HE WOULD WANT ME TO FIND THAT HEALING PATH SO, GOSH DANG IT, I'M GONNA FIND A WAY TO COPE. I OWE HIM THAT. I OWE HIM SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT. HE DECORATED MY LIFE! REST IN PEACE SWEET BABY BOY ALEX. I LOVE YOU!

ALWAYS,
DOTTIE xoxoxox
