I just said goodbye to my 13.5 year old lab 10 days ago… still waiting to get the call to pick up his ashes. I’ve been pretty stable the last couple days; but this just broke me again… fuck…
When I had to put down my sixteen year old dog, I just started dating a man and I told him it was going to be rough for a while.
I got a letter in the mail that he had made a donation to the humane society in honor of my dog. He did not even know that is where I adopted my dog from when he was a puppy!
Our vet sends sympathy cards signed by all of the staff. It's kind of hard to take, but they know people are hurting. Ask vet staff what the hardest part of their job is, and it's putting down a pet who has been part of your life and family day in and day out for many years.
