writes:I know this is madness but i guess i just wanted a moan.I posted a question a couple weeks ago about a 7 month old dog i had that trashed my home. She was only a puppy. Anyway my sis came to visit at the weekend and fell in love with her, my sis already has an 18 month old dog that she said personality wise is my Molly to a t! Anyway, her and her hubby were thinking of getting another dog for theirs and said if you have had enough Caz we will have Molly. I think her and our dog Cookie would love each other. Anyway i mulled it over and decided she would be way happier with my sister. Molly was a dogs dog and would love a sister to play with 24/7. I always said i should of got 2 of the litter.I took her 2 hours to my sisters today, me and the kids came home after 3 hours and i havent stopped bawling since. I know for a fact we have done the right thing. The kids arent bothered! You know what kids are like. And the 2 cats i have are happy as larry now! But i just feel so sad at the moment. My sis said she would ring me later, but she hasnt yet and i want to leave them be at least for today. But what i wanna know is, even though you know you have done the right thing sometimes for all concerned, do you ever still struggle to stop missing them? If so, how long does it last? Im gonna have right puffy eyes tomoz! heheC xxxxxx

 At least I know I did EVERYTHING that I possibly could have to make her better. It cost £4800, but I would have paid that ten fold if I could have saved her. But it just wasnt meant to be. She had a 2.8kg tumour in her splean that was removed but complications occured and her body just couldnt copy with the infection.
As you said, you did the best thing for the dog. Not for you or the kids, but for that poor creature who cant talk for itself!

I lost my dog of 6 years 5 weeks ago. To this day I have a cry each day because I miss her so, but she is most certainly in a better place.
The morning I was going to put her down, she passed away 20 minutes before I got there. So I didnt get a chance to say goodbye, which hurts me to the bone, but I couldnt have asked for a better dog and couldnt have put her through any more pain than she had endured.
Sometimes you just have to say enough is enough and do the best for them, not for us. I would have paid her vet bills ten times over if she had lived, but it just wasnt meant to be.
You did the best thing for her!

 Aww, that is so sweet. I love dogs too, and I had a basset hound and a corgi that I shared with an ex-boyfriend. I went through a lot with those dogs. Me and my ex broke up and because of where I moved to, I couldn't take the dogs. I never see them anymore. I had them for 2 years. I was sad for a while, but I knew they were living on a land with a lot of property to run on and they lived with a family that had children frequently visit. I knew they were better off with him than with me, although I loved them so much. I got another dog a few months ago and I love him a lot, and I really don't miss my dogs like I did before. They will always hold a special place in my heart as all of the dogs I've owned do. You will get over this. You can still visit the puppy. You did the right thing. Maybe if you feel the same in a couple months, you can get a new dog. If you need advice on a good dog to get, corgis are smart and very behaved.

 Hi babe
Of course you are going to be upset, you did not hate her after all.
I gave my cat up a little while ago, because it was possible i was going to be going into rented accommadation, the kids asked once about her and i was upset, after about two days i was cool because i knew she was being well looked after and it was the right decision for me.
Sending hugs to you, and give it a while you will be fine.
Take care.xx.
