I stayed with her for hours after the injection was given. Drove her to the pet cemetery on my lap in a snow storm to say another good-bye.
It's been 18 years since I lost my beloved trusting friend who was like my baby. I miss her dearly~the reason for the story. I seen on one of my groups someone posted about this beautiful poem about Rainbow Bridge and I'd love to share it with all of you. (click here) Have some tissues ready!
Til this day I never got another dog but my daughter did get a kitty 8 years ago. Still I'd like to get another dog sometime in the future. When is a right time? One never knows
but in the meantime we just love the kitty......of course when shes in the mood for some lovin & attention... There's nothing like a family dog.....

I think that no matter how long you wait to get another dog, you still feel like you've betrayed your old dog. But that does pass, eventually.
What a sad story. Good decission but even good decissions don't always make you feel better.
The right time to get another pet? I don't know. Somehow every time I say ok I don't need anymore cats one just happens to wander into my life. You'll know when it happens.
That is so sad!
I think the next dog will find you. You'll see, I think these things work out for a reason sometimes...
It's heartbreaking to lose a dog, no matter what the circumstances and you did the right thing. We usually wait a few years between dogs, but dived straight in with a new pup this time. It was hard at first but it's impossible not to love them.
I know what you mean about a family dog. We adopted one a year ago and love him to pieces, can't imagine not having him.
