IT has been a week since I lost my dog, Harley. He was a Poodle/Terrier SPCA Special, and he brought a ton of joy into our hearts. He had a very tough life when we got him and it showed as he was a timid dog when you first got to know him, but eventually he just cuddle up beside you and beg to be petted.

A week ago he had a cancerous tumour that ruptured and he died of internal bleeding. Totally unexpected and out of the blue. IT has hit me like a ton of bricks. MY Fiancee seems to be handling it way better than I am and I'm beginning to wonder if maybe I'm over reacting, but I just can't see the light at the end of my tunnel. I can get by doing what life wants me to do (work, school, chores) but I feel cynical and jaded.

I know Harley won't come back and I know he is so much happier where he is at the Rainbow Bridge, but why do I feel like crap?

All I know is that I miss him so.

Thank you
Ben

Hi Ben

Your Harley Parley looks so adorable. I am so sorry for your loss and pain.
I first joined LS after reading your posts a few days after I lost my precious Noushka, so suddenly, 12 weeks ago. So I would like to thankyou for drawing my attention to all the wonderful people on here who sadly are all too familiar with the heartache of losing beloved pets. They have all been a great comfort and have helped me to carry on and think of the happy times. I have made some good friends.
Please if you have time to read my posts, you will see that you are echoing everything that I have said, about not realising how ill she was,not getting to the vets earlier. It was all so unexpected, and I wasn't even with her when she passed.

The snow as well. Noushka, and my Tasha who left me almost 4 years ago, are Samoyeds and they so loved to play in the snow. They would push it along with their noses , like your Harley Parley, and come up with faces covered in it. We haven't had any snow here in the South of England yet, but I am dreading it coming.

As for the looking at other doggies, I know just how you feel. I keep looking on here and then I just think , hold on, it won't be Noushka, I want Noushka, oh it's so hard.
Maybe I'm still too raw and hurting too much. I know I have so much love to give tho' so hopefully one day the time will be right to lose my heart again to another darling doggie.
I hope you managed to sleep ok. I was up at 5.30 as usual, couldn't get back to sleep , I hate the mornings now, no Noushka at my bedside .
She and Tasha will be saying, "come on mum, we're here with you, you just can't see us or touch us, but we're watching over you". They were always there for me through good and bad times, and I know they always will be. Just like your Harley Parley.

Well done with your exam success by the way, that was some pass mark. Harley will be very proud of his dad.
Thinking of you.
Jan
