I'm so sorry that you are having to go through this with Buddy. It's hard enough with nothing else going on but to deal with this and the divorce is hard. I lost my beautiful Cocker Spaniel Bo almost 2 years ago. I was not there and I blame myself for his death every day. Ex hated him, and I do believe he killed him. Why else would he have died on my birthday when he was healthy? I had just had him to the vet and other than going blind in his left eye and losing his hearing he was healthy. As I always said "He is 25 lbs of sheer muscle" He was a fat lazy cocker who ate everything in site, I called him my little hoover, lol.
He was my best friend. I would sit and cry and he would wiggle his fat butt on my lap and just sit there looking at me. I could tell him anything I was feeling and he never told me how stupid I was or how my feelings didn't count. He never left me or made me feel alone. He was there for me. Stupid I know but when he died it was like losing a life long friend. I took my favorite picture of him and had it framed with a little quote written on the bottom. It helps me to see his little face all the time.
I will pray for Buddy but mostly I will pray for you as I know the pain involved in losing your beloved friend.
Oh Sue! I'm so sorry! I will definitely say a prayer for you and Buddy. I know how you feel about your dog. I have a cat who I have had for eleven years. She has been with me through so much. I truly hope everything turns out ok.
I am so sorry for Buddy. He is in my thoughts and prayers. I also have dogs and they have been my best friends and my children. A dogs love is unconditional and believe me, they have emotions. Think positive. It's hard, I know. I had to put down one of my dogs and it was one of the toughest decisions I ever had to make. I dont know what was harder, filing for divorce or putting a beloved dog down. Stay strong for your dog. Buddy feels what you are going through and now he needs your support, love and energy. I will pray many times over. Best of luck. Keep us posted.
