First, I'm grateful to have found this forum during this difficult time. It's brought me a little comfort, reading your stories and replies.
My little toy poodle cross died unexpectedly at home from sudden heart failure. My 14 year old stepdaughter and 5 year old daughter were home as well. He may have been 12, he was a rescue so I can't be sure. I took him home 8.5 years ago, with my husband at the time. He's been my constant companion and best friend since. I have a 14 year old cat whom I have been allowing in my bedroom every night since.
I find little comforts here and there, but this is incredibly hard. I literally didn't move on Monday until early evening when my brother came to help me bring him in to be cremated.
He was the most loving, loyal guy I could have ever been blessed with. I may add to this post or be sure to make a photo book and write all about his life and sweet antics when I'm ready. Positive thoughts and courage to all of you who have lost a precious fur baby.
