BuffyBear's Journal, 16 August 2014

It has been 2 weeks since we made the painful decision to to have our beloved Shi Tzu euthanized. He had suffered enough. His long illness was one of the stressors that led to my recent weight gain.

OK - so I know it was just a dog, but he had been our baby for 9 years.

Not just a dog BuffyBear. It is the price we pay for the love they give us, the grief we feel when they leave us. Feel sad for you.

awwww, no dog is just a dog, they are part of our family. So sad that you had to make that decision. My old man dog is 9 also luckily in good health, he's my buddy. I'll be a mess when I lose my Mr. Munchkin.

Wholefoodnut - they really do become family. I am sure Mr. Munchkin knows he is a part of yours.

Hey it is not "just a dog", it is definitely a member of the family. Thinking of you and hoping you can focus on the good times with doggie :)

They're our kids. They love us unconditionally, greet us when we get home and will be our comfort during trying times.

Not just a dog, so sorry for your loss. People can learn a lot from dogs on how to love.

It's so hard to lose a 4 legged child.

Classic - Dogs never complain if we are having a bad hair day or our shoes don't match our outfit. They even pretend not to notice if we gain 5 pounds.

jmb3450 - Yes - quite an education indeed.

deaby16 - well put.

That sounds very painful. It's selfless to decide that the suffering of a beloved pet has to end. I hope the next two weeks bring more healing.

I, too, am so sorry for your loss. As a fellow dog owner, I know how so much more than "just a dog" they are. We love our doggie so much, and at 12, know her days are numbered. Sending you much love & a big hug, my friend! xoxox

No, not just a dog! A little piece of me goes with them every time I have to let a pet go. One of the family with their own unique personality. My heart goes out to you. I mourn for them just like any other member of the family. Blessings, my Buddy, I know it hurts.
