Cricketr Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 I had to make the decision yesterday morning to put my little fur-dude (a 12yr old cockapoo named Bucky) to rest. My heart is broken, I am uncomfortable in my empty home, my body is filled with panic and anxiety and sadness. I have been down this road before, 10 years ago and then unexpectedly Bucky came into my life. He filled my heart with such joy and I feel like the pain will never lessen. I know, in time, it won’t feel as raw as it does now, my head knows that, my heart doesn’t. Im glad to have found this group but sorry we are a part of it as it means we have lost a loved pet… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyT Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 My heart reaches out to you in your pain, my friend. If you have a picture of your darling Bucky, we'd love to see it. I had a cockapoo named Muffin many years ago. It was his sudden, unexpected and accidental death that set me on the path to becoming a grief counselor with a special interest in pet loss. Losing Muffin was one of the most painful experiences of my life, so believe me when I say that I know how much this hurts. I welcome you to this warm and caring site, where you are surrounded by like-minded folks. We are animal lovers all, and we've all been where you are now. You are not alone . . . 🧡 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyT Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Your Bucky and my Muffin could have been twins. Seeing this picture is like seeing my own dear cutie pie again! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! 🧡 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayc Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Such an adorable dog! I am so sorry for your loss and the pain of your heart as you are missing your best friend. I know that pain all too well, you are right in that it lessens in (much) time, but always, always, we continue to miss them. My soulmate in a dog died 3 1/2 years ago. I have a new bestie but he endeared himself to me in different ways...the uniqueness of Arlie is gone forever, I'm afraid, he was one of a kind. Still, as close as I've gotten to my Kodie, I can't imagine going through this again, yet I know it will happen someday, hopefully in many years...dogs just don't live long enough.

kayc Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Yes it is. The amount we grieve is in direct proportion to our love for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
