Lost a Huge Part of Our Lives

This morning at 10:30 am, we lost a huge part of our family and our lives, Muffy.  I stayed up all night with her because she was feeling quite bad.  I held her in my arms most all night and this morning she passed away while I was holding her.  I am so broke up that I can hardly type this because of the tears in my eyes.  Both my wife and I have tears in our eyes and the sniffles they cause.
My wife and I dug a deep, wide hole that the container she was in would fit into.  We wrapped her up in her favorite blankets, placed her in the container and lowered her into the hole.  Both my wife and I filled in the hole while sobbing.  I am still sobbing and probably will for quite some time to come.  She was extra special and kept the other two pups in line.  My son stopped by and offered to dig the hole for us but we refused.  My wife and I had to do it ourselves.  It is going to take a long, long time to get over this, if ever.  I have nothing else to say, just have to go blow my nose.  Sure do hope that you all had a better day than we have had.

  5. I'm convinced the loving care she got made her want to stay a little longer, but I also think she picked the time when she was ready. My heart goes out to you, your wife, and the other two dogs.

    1. Oh I do understand that but I guess I am selfish, wanting her with me right now.

  15. Kelly and I well understand how you are feeling. Having lost 3 of our best Pals back in 2011-2012 I remember the huge hole it left in our lives. For many of us our pets are much more than just pets, they are treasured members of our family and when one of our family members is lost it is emotionally devastating. Cherish all the wonderful memories of Muffy and hold them close.

    1. Thank you Sixbears. It was a huge loss for me since she was with me almost all the time. I held and rocked her on her last night and she died in my arms in the morning. There will be a tear in my eye for a long time to come.
