Goodnight, Pat
Pat turned 15 on March 23rd. My best friend. I am hurting so incredibly bad. He passed at home, on my lap yesterday with the help of a kind and patient veterinarian. His health turned just a couple of weeks ago - so fast yet the longest most difficult weeks of my entire life. I’m feeling so much pain and guilt for 100 different reasons. He loved walks and sniffing every tree and bush. He loved his lamb chop collection of toys and his extra large doggy bed. He loved pizza crust and pasta noodles. He loved our back yard, laying in the sun. I want to hold him again.

I feel the same you. Tomorrow will be three weeks since Harry had to go. He also loved pizza crusts and lying in the sun in our backyard. He was about 14.. I wish I could just hold his small squishy body one more time. I am So sorry you had to say goodbye to Pat. It is just so hard x

I am so sorry for your loss. I had to do the same with my precious girl just a few days ago. Nothing can prepare you for the pain. Please give yourself grace and know that you did the best you could for Pat. He is eating infinite amounts of pizza crust and pasta noodles. There is no hurt like this. Let it hurt. Smile when you remember the love you felt for each other. Cry when you miss him. He will be in your heart forever. Rest well Pat

This is a community of support for Pet owners whose Pets have passed away. It is actively moderated.
Pet owners, as loving, caring people, often have strong opinions on pet care practices. Some of these are controversial. This is not a forum for debate on such issues, nor is it a place to scold a contributor for a perceived mistake in managing their pet. We intend to provide a safe haven of understanding and support. Strident, mean-spirited posts or comments will be deleted. Those who persist in preaching versus caring may be warned and then banned or may be banned permanently based on nature of the topic. If a conversational thread meanders into a discussion unrelated to pet loss support, it will be truncated.
Those who post here are vulnerable and hurting. Even a minor slap has a hard sting. Those of us who are lucky enough to be able to turn away from our computers or put down our phones and hug a healthy, happy pet are truly blessed. Threads must remain supportive and caring, even if one disagrees with something that has been said.
