This is kind of killing me, but she's having a really good night. She slept all day and her butt popped out twice (putting Preperation H on it right after it happens seem to be the only way to get it to go back in). But we came home tonight and she's all perky and playful... my little girl's still in there. She's just fading.
I refused to go with friends today to see Marely and Me (dispite my fascination with Jennifer Aniston) since I knew the dog would either die or get hurt since that's what happens in dog movies with hot girls. From what I hear, I'm glad I didn't go.

You have my sympathies Aban. I don't know what I'd do if I were to lose my dog. Just just take solace in the fact that she's no longer suffering, and that she was with those who loved her til the end.

This was just without question the hardest thing I've ever done. She didn't want to lay down, so I was holding her the whole time. Feeling her just give out was peaceful and terrible at the same time. I can't seem to get that feeling out of my head.

Sorry to hear this news, Aban. You know that you did the right thing, and that it was for the best. The fact that you were with her too... she wasn't alone. Remember that. Moreso remember all the good times. I still do, with our little dog.

I'm sorry you had to go through that. I know what you mean about that feeling; I was holding a small kitten once when it died. I know how it sticks with you. But like Andrew said, it means you were with her, and that's important.

I did something stupid last night. I got home from the store and walked inside and called her like I'm used to doing when I get home. Just to see how it would feel.
It was actually kind of cathartic. Like it relieved a little of the withdrawal from not having her there. Of course, it was a little crushing when she didn't come running... but I didn't really expect that to happen.

So sad to hear of your loss- nothing's harder than losing a dear friend.
When we had to have my dog put down I cried like a baby- few people could cause such a reaction.

Aban, for what it's worth, I'm sorry for your loss. We had to put our dog Jolly down a couple months ago, too. He was with us for 11 years and grew up with me.
