I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Sorry for your loss.Having my 14 year old beagle put down was one was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. Takes time but you will heal and know it was the right decision.

Never an easy decision. Definitely the worst thing about having a dog is losing one.

This in natural. As you know I recently shot my 10 year old Shepherd. even with the two other dogs and family the house feels empty and something is missing. Then you see some old fading out paw tracks in the mud.

Know it had to be done and was the best thing to end her suffering. For me even though I may not feel like or want to do things keeping busy helps more than laying around dwelling on it. Found this out when my son was killed. I need to keep my hands busy and building things helps at the same time my subconscious works things out .

Jordy helps. He does funny things constantly to brighten me up.
But I miss her presence in the house.
I really don’t know if we will have another dog in our life but I kind of think we need to, with our lifestyle. We took her everywhere, especially since her diagnosis last year.
I don’t wanna set foot in Home Depot now. We took her there twice a week

Curious. does your other dog appear to miss her?

I've seen it both ways, some seem to miss the departed dog and search for them, others don't care... it may seem silly but I usually let the other dogs see and sniff the pack mate, sort of a mini wake....

I’m out of dogs. She was our last one and helped a lot when we lost Sampson, my beagle. The cats are out of sorts. Jordy is looking for her and Torii has been staying somewhat secluded.
