We all know it’s going to eventually happen. Our doggies were not meant to be around longer than ourselves. Some last much longer than others but one day, as you look at those fading eyes, see how stiff his joints have gotten, and maybe even hear that rasping breath – you will realize Fido does not have long on this earth.
How will you and your family get through it?
Believe it or not, children are often more resilient than their parents. We have a five-year-old niece who is currently best friends with a thirteen-year-old German Shepherd. Her parents are slowly getting her ready for the inevitable but, while it upsets her, she seems to understand. Her parents are the ones with early separation anxiety!
Yet, some need more than just understanding and the writer on the next page has her own way of coping with the loss of her beloved companion, Gizmo. On the next page read her touching and compelling words…

Miss Lily is my 3rd pug and probably last as I am getting older and not as able to get up and around so easily. Even the thought of this saddens me to no end and now, Lily is 11 yrs. old and I know that day is coming faster than I (we) want. I just can’t think of “it”, and she comes to lick my face as I cry, even now.

I lost my sweet Pug almost a year ago. He was only 7-1/2 years old. He should have been around 7 more years. Not a day goes by that I still don’t grieve for him. He was the best dog that ever was. He loved me 150% and I loved him back.

She wrote down exactly what I was feeling when we put our first pug down. It was one of the hardest days of my life. I will forever miss him.
