She was my best friend.   I'm gonna miss her so much. I already do.  

I hate cancer

 

you mentioned pittie. I have one near me almost always. Unless she is sunbathing. She is a dog who was rescued from  a life of dog breeding,. She has bite marks all over her legs and a front paw injury that was not cared for and healed badly. she and her son were rescued together. It was obvious by just appearance that they were related. But a DNA test was done on the son. He was a 100% pure breed Staffordshire terrier. 3 generations 

 

so my dog is also purebred. THANK GOD she was rescued. Her temperament is the sweetest  you have ever met. She LOVES people. She was the star at hubby's birthday party last night. Her name is Pumpkin. and twice we have been told she looks like one hahahaa

 

I mention this today because I Love the breed. I sense your dog was bonded to YOU as mine is to me.'

 

What a BLESSING!

 

Tell us about her/he if you want I'd like to hear

 

Best to you

 

Go Bills!

She's 13 and been having issues.  She had surgery last month. And since the surgery it's like her body is just breaking down

 

I've been giving her steak and chicken every day to get her eat.  She's lost so much weight I see her ribs and spine

 

I don't want her to be in pain anymore but she is my best friend. She has always been there for me. 

 

She's not eating, not pooping and now not really moving and having difficulty standing. 

 

I keep telling her how happy she makes me and how much I love her as I lay with her. 

 

I'm gonna have take her to put her down. I don't want to. 

 

I can't stop crying.  This hurts so much. I don't want to lose her but I don't want her in pain. 

 

10 years ago she saved my life. I'm not supposed to have her so I can't share this with anyone or reach out to family 

I’m sorry to hear your dog is very sick.  13 years is pretty long life for a big dog. Small ones can live longer.

 

But one of the sad facts of life is having put down an aging dog, who has been a best friend.

 

Many of us have been there, some multiple times.  That is no consolation, I know.

 

There are no words to help get over such a loss.
