Oh what a shock, at least you had you cuddle with her, she knew she was loved..

But it doesn't make it any easier to accept she's gone.

Thinking of you and your sad lose.

Poor you - so so very sorry to hear your sad news - but Tara had a lifetime of love and knew how much you all cared for her.  When one of our little ones died, the vet said that the other dog should see that her sister had gone so that she knew what had happened and wouldn't expect her to come home.  It seemed to help.

It's just such a miserable time for you all....and I'm thinking of you and sending you a big hug.

Much love

I am so sorry - I can't imagine how you are feeling at the moment.  :hug:

My friend had to have one of her 'house ferrets' put to sleep the week before last, and the vet told her to take the body home to show to her other one so that she knew what had happened.  I'm sure your dogs will be okay - it will help them to understand why Tara went away.

Words are very inadequate at times like this, but I'm thinking of you.

Thanks again for your kind words.

I know its early days but its not getting any easier, I'm still bursting into tears and just can't stop thinking about her.  I just have flashbacks of opening the door and seeing her lying there, its awful.  The other dogs seem OK now (wish it was that simple for me).

I'm going to collect her ashes tonight, not sure what the plan is, ie should I sprinkle them or keep them.  I just knew though that last week I wasn't ready to let her go and I'm still not so should imagine I will keep hold of them for a while.

The house seems so quiet without her, its amazing what a difference it can make, even though she was a quiet, well behaved dog there just seems to be a huge gap there.

Now once again I'm sat at work, eyes filling up and not sure when I will feel better.

Aaaw, don't be hard on yourself - this is going to take some time  :'(  I know it doesn't seem like it now, but it will get easier and you will forget what has just happened and remember all the happy times you had with Tara  :luv: :luv:

When my cat died I buried him in the garden in his favourite sunbathing spot - my other cat used to go and sit there afterwards  :-\  I am sure she knew he was there :'(

Look after yourself  :-*

How sad, I'm thinking of you and your other dogs.  I was told that seeing the body of their friend always helps animals to understand what's happened. When one of our cats died I showed his body to the other two and I'm sure they realised what had happened and coped better.

I have all three of my girls on a small table in the lounge surrounded by angels sent to me by wonderful friends when Chloe died last year.  I do intend to bury the girls but it has to be where I finally end up.  Silly as it sounds, I couldn't stand the thought of burying them and then moving house :'(

Really sorry to hear of your awfully sad news, you are in good company, we know how you feel  :'( big hugs to you.

At least she did not go alone and had the other dogs there, and at least they know she is gone too and has not just disappeared to be pts like many of our dogs.

My deepest condolences to you.
