Dog lovers,animal lovers will understand
Today at 7:45 in the morning I had to put my beautiful beagle,Lucy down.
She was paralyzed for a day. Vet tells me a vertebrae in her neck. Prognosis poor for recovery.
So with a heavy heart,on the basis she was suffering I did what I never wanted to do.
I am very very sad. My heart is broken.
I got her 14 years ago to cheer up my son when my father passed away.
My mind is so bad right now I can't even remember how to add her picture
I just had to release some of the pain.
Thank you for reading this.
I cancelled my tutoring classes.
I'm just not right as of now.

Oh, that's so sad.... I'm so sorry, I can only imagine what you are going through... I never lost a dog, but I have one...
Dogs are so special for us, really good friends...
Just take your time, now...
My heart breaks for you and your family Papi!
Let yourself grieve for as long and however you need!
The depth of your tears and pain are indicative of the love you shared!
We can't have the joy without the pain in life....it is the never-ending cycle!
Lucy revelled in the love you chose to give her!
Lucky Lucy!!!!

Thank you for your kind words Barb.
Yes,Lucy also gave me back all the love I gave her and added tons more.
She was special,and became a part of my heart on day 1.
I was lucky as well ,a two way highway of love both ways :)
I sent you a PM,I believe you haven't seen it yet.
I saw your PM Papi...
I responded there but Kyle has asked me to remove both my blood clot and broken heart blogs...he seemed to think it was a Niche but I was just expressing various thoughts ....
So...I wrote there then saw it was removed so responded again here....
I'm sorry your heart is breaking....Lucy would lick it better I bet!!!!
Thank you so much Mary.
She was indeed very special to me.
I'll take those hugs because I need plenty right now :)
I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved pet, Papi. I had to take over music classes at school today, because the music teacher is going through the same thing with her 14 year old cat. They are truly part of our families!
Very true Rick.
They are part of the family.
I will miss her.
Tonight will specially hard.
She slept right next to me and loved to snuggle.
Thanks for words Rick.
Papi, I have tears in my eyes as I know how hard that task is and I remember the times I have had to do it! Take the time you need to grieve and say goodbye...Her memory will live on in your mind and your heart forever! My picture is of my last dog Maggie who really helped me when I found out about all my ails and this is my tribute to her and all she meant to me! My thoughts and best wishes are with you my friend as it is hard to lose part of your family! Take care, Keith
Thank you Keith.
Your words ring true.
So sorry to hear about Maggie. I'm glad she was there through your ails.
We buried her this evening. All my children were there.
We said our good byes.
Thanks Keith for your kind words.
I am so sorry for your lose. Losing a pet can be very devastating, Take the time you need to grieve. You didn't just lose a pet you lost a friend, a family member, only time will help. I understand what you are feeling, the cat in my pic was my baby and I lost her over a year ago. Hope you can get back to work soon, it will help keep your mind off of it.
Thank you Kathy.
Your comments are true.
Sorry to here about your cat,I know she must have meant the world to you.She is with you on your profile :)
A couple of hours ago we buried her in our back yard.
The kids were all there.
Tomorrow my eldest and I will pour a pretty slab for her.
Thank you.
I don't think any loving family can avoid these moments Edmund. We've been through 4 guinea pigs 1 cat and 5 dogs.14 years is a good time for memories and life.
Thank you Michael for your concern.
Yes,14 wonderful years she gave me.
Your comment means a lot.
Always hard right Michael.
But as you say,loving families at some point must go through this.
So sorry to hear about Lucy. This is something I fear every pet owner may have to face in the future. Including me, two pets. It is heartbreaking to do this.
Thank you Brendie.
True at some point difficult decisions have to be made.
She gave me 14 wonderful years :)
Thank you for your comment.

Papi, I can't even begin to imagine what you and your family must be going through. I dread when that time will come for my 12yr old Border Terrier Indy - he's well enough for his age, and I keep deluding myself that my Indy will go on till he is 20. Or possibly 21?
And the question mark says it all. I shall never be ready to let him go. You were very grave to put your Lucy's needs before your own, and I really applaud you for being able to do so. But I can imagine the void she will have left in your hearts.
Against all best intentions to stick to the WA rules, Lucy and all of you are in our thoughts and in our prayers.
Lots of love. Giulia
