Lost 3 Pets In 2 Weeks Options

[Lovemyfurrykids]

I love animals. I have had a whole household full for years. On Sept 15, 2013 I made the heartwrenching decision to euthanize my cat of almost 18 years "Kitten". She is longest pet I've ever had. She was so mouthy and "bitching" as I would tell her all the time. She had liver problems that I had stopped treating a couple years ago because the treatment was too hard on her. The morning I took her into the vet she had stopped talking, eating, or drinking (even out of the faucet which she trained me to turn on for her) and I knew the time had come. I held her in my arms and she just looked at me with her sweet little eyes while she passed.

Then, 11 days later on Sept 26, my son & I made the painful decision to euthanize our 16 year old lab/pitbull "Karli Sue" in our home. She had a heart condition & began having trouble breathing, and could barely walk without help in the last week especially. My son considered Karli his dog as they had a special bond while growing up. He was 7 yrs old (now almost 23 yrs) when Karli came to our door. I felt guilty afterwards thinking I should have taken her back to the vet to see what else could've been done. And the worst part is that when the cremation service came to get her, he put her in a black trash bag, not a body bag, but a trash bag right there on her bed she laid. I can't get that image out of my head. I realize the issue of body fluids but he could have done that in his van.

Then to top it off, 3 days after Karli's death, I found my 15 year old shepherd/Akita "Daisy", drown in our pool. I had left the back door open because they liked to walk around in the backyard. I feel so much guilt because I fell asleep on the couch, so I didn't hear her fall in. I was always very careful to not leave that door open unless I was supervising them. When I awoke and looked everywhere in house & then I looked in yard & saw her floating in the pool. I jumped in knowing she was dead. I was hysterical. I can not forgive myself for not being awake, leaving door open, and not saving her. I know people say its an accident but it happened because of me!

I can't get the image out of my head. I can't even look in my backyard. I don't even want that pool anymore. I haven't been able to eat, work, sleep, or when I do it's nitemares. I cry constantly. I knew those 3 pets were going to go around the same time, but I didn't think within 2 weeks. But the worst is my guilt over my poor lil baby drowning & suffering like that. How can I ever get over this severe heartache? I still have 2 other cats "Lucky & Sophie", and a beagle " Bugle". Even feeding them brings me to tears. I simply don't know how to ever get over this feeling of guilt and remorse.
