This has been a very rough week for me. My beautiful shetland sheepdog of 13 years passed away due to congestive heart failure. Six months ago she was diagnosed with an enlarged heart and was placed on medications. She occasionally had coughing, but this was related to her heart pressing on her esophagus. Last weekend her cough was non-stop. So, on Monday I took her straight to the vet and they said she was experiencing chf. He gave us the medicine we needed to get the fluid off of her lungs. In the course of 24 hours she took a turn for the worst. When i woke up Tuesday morning she was pacing and shallow breathing. I could see it in her eyes that she was going to pass. She died in my arms.....
As the days followed i allowed myself to overindulge. Due to my lack of self control and sadness I allowed myself to gain 4 lbs.
I am dusting myself off and getting back in the saddle again.
I know that this feeling will pass, but honestly my home does not feel the same and I feel depressed....allot. It's time for me to get some control of my emotions and track what i need to do to get to my goals.
Please wish me some luck.

OH my GOSH I am sooo sorry for your loss and for heaven's sake don't beat yourself up over this. Our animals are so important to us, I know that they are to me! When I lost my dog Lucky 2 years ago at the age of 18 I was devastated and still cry when I think about him too much. They are so much like our children (and I have 3 kids) but they stay young and love us unconditionally. My kids used to tell me I loved the dog more then them because on the weekends when I got off work at 6am (worked hospital) I would stop at McDonalds and bring Lucky home a sausage biscuit or two! Lol I would tell them that the DOG doesn't gripe and complain like they do! Hang in there hon, it will get better its just going to take some time. God bless you and I'm sure she's in doggie heaven having a ball!!

Keny, my heart is breaking for you. Grieve your loss - just in a different way than you might have done in the past. I know that your beautiful girl will always live in your heart.

I am sorry you lost your beloved companion. I think it was a blessing she could pass on while being held in your arms.

I am new on here. I know exactly how you feel. I lost my dog a few years ago. They are apart of your family.
