Especially the drawing of your doggy and Jesus, I feel like that's something I would have done had my dog died when I was a kid.<br /><br />I'm so sorry for your loss. I moved to London 2 years ago, and had to leave my dog behind for a bit, sadly, she died before I got to see her. The crazy thing is, I dreamt with her the night she died, as if she was trying to say goodbye herself. <br /><br />I'm convinced that I no longer want any pets, it was too much for me to handle. But I'm honoured that I even got to meet such a precious little person, and I'm sure that all of us who have pets and have lost them, can say the same. Thanks for sharing this. I hope that the pain of this soon becomes a joyful memory of all the great times you shared together. <br /><br />Kind Regards,<br />Massiel Mancebohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14342942362742623729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-28539206366871547672014-01-09T20:59:47.245-05:002014-01-09T20:59:47.245-05:00My Gawd Ashley, you have had your damn share of dy...My Gawd Ashley, you have had your damn share of dying pets! I am soooo, so sorry about Murphy. If there's one thing that's clear, it's that your pets are members of your family. They are loved and treated so wonderfully. Murphy got lucky.

If you email me I can give you my address and I'll write back if you don't want to ask anyone you know. I hope that's not creepy - I have seen someone do that for my friend's children and it made them so happy to get something back.

He was 15 years old, but his death still came so suddenly. He seemed fine on Christmas. I was bawling like a baby when I got the news from my mom that the vet had called her and he had passed on. I am glad that I had one last Christmas. We just have to remember the good times with our pets to get us through, and know that one day we shall see them again.

I'm so glad you held him while he passed on, and I'm so sad for you all. Can I ask what happened? Was he injured in an accident or was it congenital? I'm sure it hurts to even be conscious and breathe right now; saying life isn't fair is so trite - but it really, really isn't.

While it's awful to have to go to this place, it is so helpful to have the whole family together. When we saw how peaceful Max was after the vet gave the first injection, we knew we were doing the right thing.
