Amylou, I am so sorry for the loss of your fur babies. Please take some comfort knowing how much they loved you and cared for you.

It's never easy losing a loved one. Pet or person. We all grieve and our hearts break. You'll muddle through, slowly. And some day you'll be able to think of them with a warmth in your heart, rather than the pain you feel now. Until that day comes, grieve as you need, take the process as you can.

I'm so sorry for your sad loss, I know your heart does hurt :(

Aww..it is just so impossibly hard when we have to let them go...

Holding you in the light.

Hugs. Hugs. And it is so hard...

Sending hugs your way. I am so very sorry for your profound loss. So difficult to say goodbye.

I'm so sorry and I do know how you feel. Losing two so close together - just devastating. Hold those wonderful memories of your babies close to your heart.

oh I am so sorry..............

((Amylou)) and SOlou.

Love to you both. It does make the heart hurt.

I am so very, very sorry!! ((((((((((amylou))))))))))

Please don’t feel guilty, you did the best for them

We had to put both our dogs down within a week of each other, and it still hurts after several years.

I can only imagine, I am so sorry and prayers go out to you. They really do hold a special place in our hearts.

We all know what you're going through Amy and it isn't easy. The time will come when you will remember them both with a smile instead of tears but right now, you just have to go through that grieving process and it's really tough! Hugs.

I am so sorry. I know how much it hurts.

(((((amylou and SO)))))

You did the right thing. Try not to fret. Try to be compassionate and kind to yourself!

Hugs to you. Think of the Rainbow Bridge.

So sorry for the loss of your babies....

Oh no, I'm sorry you have to deal with this. They are so much a part of our lives. You did the last, hardest, most loving thing you could do for them. It's up to us to not let them suffer, even though we do when we have to say goodbye. I'm sorry for your pain.

Perhaps you don't wish it for yourself yet, so I will wish it for you: comfort and peace. You and your SO are brave and strong people. (((hugs))))

So terribly sorry. Sending you thoughts of comfort and solace.

(((HUGS))) one of my closest friends just lost two dogs within six weeks and is hurting terribly. I am so sorry for your loss!

So very sorry for your loss

I am so sorry to hear this Amylou. I agree that he knew you were there and said good-bye.

I'm so sorry, and I'm glad you were able to be there. I'm sure he was comforted by your presence. It's more painful than we ever anticipate. The first time I lost a pet as an adult, I missed a week of work I was crying so much. Hugs to you.

Oh, Amy Lou, I know it hurts. And nothing I can say will make it hurt less. But know that I share your pain for your beloved pet.

I am so sorry amylou! Two in a couple of weeks must be very hard. May you be comforted knowing you were good parents to Candy and Sammy.

I am so sorry. I agree with the others--I am very certain that he was comforted by your presence.

Sometimes, doing the right thing takes a great toll on us but don't let guilt invade...it does not belong.

The other stuff...feel what you need to feel and know that that is right and necessary, even if that means putting some parts of your life on hold...

((((amylou))))

Amylou....I am so very sorry....you were a wonderful dog momma to both of your doggies...they were so very lucky to have both you and your SO.....my heart is heavy for you❤️

((((((((((((( Amylou ))))))))))))) Big hugs for you. My heart breaks for you. So many of us know what you are feeling and it hurts so bad. Praying for strength and comfort for you and your SO.

So sorry for your loss. May the pain in your heart be replaced with fond memories.

Awww Amylou-so sorry for you and your SO....sending long distance ((((Hugs))))

Oh no, I am so sorry for the pain that you are both feeling and I'm crying with you. It is one of the worst hurts that we can experience.

it hurts so much more. Because of the state he was in, i dont think he even knew i said goodbye. Candy was fully conscience and knew I was there for her.

my heart breaks for you! It is so - so painful. I've gone thru it many times. most recently in 2012 and 2013.

my boy, in 2012 - still hurts the most, even tho I'd hadn't had him as long. It was a rather quick decision with him. He too, was in pain, and he'd cried the night before and the next day. I just could not stand to see him in pain. He'd been tuff and ruff all the yrs I'd had him - until then. It broke my heart. Still does at times.

so sorry to read that you also had a double loss. It is so heartbreaking!

I'm so sorry, I know how bad it hurts.

That's awful to lose two of your beloved dogs in a short time. I'm so sorry.

I am so sorry always hard to loose a furbaby.

Amy, I feel your pain. Went through a very similar situation with the so loved dog that grew up with our daughters. Giggo was 17, our daughters 16 and 17.The family grieved terribly. A loved pet will always have a place in your heart.

((((Amylou))))

I'm so sorry, Amylou.

Sammy knew you loved him. I'm so sorry. (((hugs)))

Both had you by their side, hold on to that and all the memories.

So, so sorry. Such love and devastating loss. I know they knew how much you love them (not "loved", as your love for them carries on).

I thank you all for your kind words. It's very difficult with him gone. When SO leaves for work and im alone in the house its the worst.Now,there is nothing following me around the house,nothing to talk to unless I go outside and manage to corral my outside dogs,even eating is miserable without his furry head in my lap begging for a bite. I couldnt sleep because it was too quiet without him snoring in his bed next to mine and i swear i heard his nails clicking down the hallway last night. I woke up in a panic this morning because i thought i was late giving him his medication,only to realize there is no need. I must be losing it. SO went and put the crusts of his breakfast sandwich in his bowl this morning without thinking. Maybe we are both losing it.

Oh Amylou, I am so sorry for your losses. It is so hard when they leave us.

I couldn't make a salad for 2 years after my sweet dog passed away because I'd absently toss lettuce ribs over the kitchen counter into the family room for her. Old habits are hard to break, but a sign of the nice relationship you had too.

Amylou I've got tears in my eyes reading this. We have to wonder how much hurt our hearts can stand, in such a short time.

Your home will feel so large and hollow without your fur-kids. In time, hopefully you'll find room in your heart to give a much-needed home to another lucky dog. No rush, of course, but you'd be surprised how much our hearts can expand, to love another pet.

I am so sorry for your loss...many hugs!

Yes Jasdip , we have 3 remaining dogs,which is the lowest number we have ever had at one time. I have no doubt SO will be bringing more home sooner rather than later. There is always room for more. The only downside of course,is that with more pets,there are more pets to lose. It truly is the one and only downside IMO of having them. I have lost many, and they all hurt,but Sammy was different. Maybe it was because he was MY first pet,maybe it was because SO got him specifically for me when we first met, maybe it was because he was the only one who lived inside and was underfoot all the time. I dont know, he was just different. I have not felt this depth of despair for losing one of my beloveds before. And SO has never shown such emotion over a dog before. He is usually very accepting and practical about such things, even when it comes to losing people. This. Really. SUCKS!!!!!!!!! But having all of you here has really helped. I can't talk about it without sobbing, so it's easier to type. And it helps to talk to so many who know what I'm going through.

I'm so sorry.

I agree - the only downside to having them is when we lose them. My heart breaks for you.
