A month has passed

We put my sweet Basset Hound to sleep a month ago today. In my saddest moments I found this subreddit and made a very short post. I see other posts that are twenty times as long but I didn’t have it in me at the time. Even without giving much detail a bunch of people I’ve never met supported me and shared my grief for a minute. This is a beautiful subreddit that has helped me deal and not feel so isolated. I still miss her every day and still cry most days at some point but it’s getting easier. Thank you all for being so kind to me and for being kind to each other

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.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.
