  1. That is really sad about your dog getting hit. As far as bonding with another dog, people say they do. I had a dog die at 6 months due to hip dysplasia (she had to be put down) and I did have trouble, at first, when we got another dog a year later. But now, after having her a year, I can't imagine how close the bond is. In my opinion people will understand and empathize. How many times does one spouse not be as careful as the other one wants them to be? You didn't think anything was going to happen. Your wife knows that you loved that dog. I'm very sorry for your loss. Therese
  2. Thank you Karen, I'm sorry about your cat. The apartmenti s so empty. I can't do anything (except the crying, I'm doing great in that department). It was a decision I will have to live with for the rest of my life. It's the worse thing. I know it was in her best interest. I know I'm just being sad for myself. Therese
  3. Thank you both for your support. The whole thing is awful. No one else knows. I have relatives and a friend (who is a dog trainer) tell me to give her to a rescue. I got her from the street and who knows how many owners she's had. She had been abused, the vet said that he was surprised she hadn't bitten anyone because she was so fearful of people. He said the reason she was 'so good' was to please me but one day enough would be enough. I would rather her be at peace than pass her onto someone who might treat her badly. I couldn't solve all her issues. Taking care of her gave me a reason to live. A purpose. Oh yeah, if I tell people I had her put down, i think I'll be judged harshly. Even if they say they understand, I don't think they would. Especially my relatives, who would think "she couldn't even take care of a dog." I'm 47 - do family issues last forever? Will they always see me as the baby? I could lie and say I found her a new home (and ease my guilt) but that wasn't an option - or the answer.
  4. I am so alone. 3 months ago my fiance and I broke up and I moved out. I was dealing with that o.k mostly because I was busy finding a place for my Companion Dog and I to live. I so miss being part of a family. I felt comforted that I still had Molly. Three days ago, I had to have her put down. It was my desision and I hope it was the right one. I can't fo into the details because it's just too painful. I miss her so much. She would follow me from room to room from the first day we got her. She loved me. She was good. She would get so excited to see me, she would actually make noise. I should have given her more treats. I haven't told anyone. I sleep on her bed. I still can't bring myself to leave the apartment. I just sit and look at her picture. I change her bowl of water everyday. I'm afraid I'm going to forget the sound she makes. I don't have it on video. I didn't know. She shouldn't have had to die. I feel guilty. I miss her. We spent all day together everyday. She was what I was good at. Our walks, grooming, I gave her the best food and kept track of everything. How do I forgive myself? I can't even talk about it with my best friend because he's already in another relationship. I hope I did right by her. Please forgive me.
