My Baby Dog

I have a different take, Montana. I think I just miss seeing her or having her in my moment-by-moment life and my subconscious is sort of looking for her.

Aw, I hate sobbing on a real shoulder, even if it is a family shoulder. Dasha is VERY busy and many time zones away. I have had some good corespondance from friends who have known Boo over the years, but who are remote. I think that has helped.

So.... I have this weekened to sort it all ot. Ready, set, go!

I'm the same way, as I tend to like to do my grieving alone.

I never understood why.

Thank you LordE! I hope you're feeling better and that your sleek baby (your dog, man!) is healthy and agile as ever.

Montana, I think it's because, as a psych may allude to, we had our turning-towards-others-mechanism dismantled at some point in our lives.

Yeah, that's what I meant. She was with me for 15 years, so you worded it better than I did.
I missed her and my subconscious was looking for her as well.

I never thought of it that way and you have a good point.

Thanks, k. That was about 18 years ago, so I'm all recovered now, but to this day, I still get a little teary when I think of her.
She was a great girl, just like Boo!

Real tears for a dog and lady I never met. No matter how much you expect it, it's always a shock.

I've got to get out more. I just found this heart-wrenching thread today. I agree and echo what Roger says above.

Kris, your story here about your relationship to your dog struck quite the emotional reaction in me, per experience myself with previous pets.

We can never tell completely how much we'll miss them until they're gone. Of course, our pets live on in our hearts and minds. One day you'll be doing some random thing and a memory of the past will creep in, reinforcing our love and fondness.

I think you did the right and compassionate thing. Quality of life is highly under-rated.

A big hug for you.

I called my dog "Ben" today.

I've had her (Guinness) eight years, and Ben has been gone for over nine.

Funny thing, the human being.

Well, today was a down day - no pressing attention needed for other topics. I was a bit more teary-eyed, but still ok. I was doted upon by the lil westies downstairs too, it's almost like they know something's up.

Thanks for stopping by reyn. Hopefully the reminiscing is good in it's way.

Read back on the thread.

Sympathy to you littleK and kudos to you for having the strength to do what needed to be done.

I hope that we would be able to be as strong for our little pooch if/when the time comes.

LordE, I hadn't seen you slip a post in there. It is interesting what the human mind will do......

McKenzie - until that time, love you little pooch to bits and pieces.
