Thank you all for your posts, I'll respond, but I just can't right now. I'm having a terrible day. Our family dog just died this morning. And I'm so sad. He's been part of our family for the past 13 years. Everything is crashing on me. Our family as I know it is no more, first my H walks away now we loose our dog, what else is going to happen, when will it stop....

I know that he was old, he had arthritis, couldn't walk so well, but it's so sad to loose him...

I'd let him out into the yard to do his business this morning and then I go out and I see him laying down on the grass in the sunshine, so peaceful. He didn't move when I came out, his tail wasn't wagging and his eyes were open. I knew that he was gone.

My H came over for our business meeting 1/2 hour after I found him, we both cried and hugged each other. I asked WH to bury him and he did, wrapped him in a blanket and put him in the ground at the back of the garden. He took care of all of that, told me "don't worry I can handle this just go and sit down". He cried the whole time doing it.

I went to wake up D16 to tell her, she didn't want to see his body, didn't want to face it. But H told her that she has to come out that we will have a little ceremony for him as a "family". So we all said goodbye to him and remembered all the guffy things he did. I said that the dog loved our old house and all the forest to roam there, my H said "we were so happy there"...it's all just heartbreaking.
