We had to put down our beloved baby girl of 10 years this morning after abruptly finding out about an abdominal tumor that burst open and caused internal bleeding past the point of saving.

Could really use some advice on the grieving process, all I can do is stare at her stuff and feel nothing but despair.

    The advice that I live by is that we can only be so lucky as to outlive our pets. It’s part of the burden of pet ownership. Besides, if we pass before they do, who would take care of them as good as we had?!

    The above is easier said than done I’m sure. I’m saying this as someone with 2 seniors dogs. One is scheduled for surgery next Tuesday to remove a mast cell tumor. Trying to reconcile in my head how hard it will be to lose him…

    Sorry didn’t mean to bring up my own personal pet stuff here but this struck a nerve. I hope you can find peace with your loss friend.
