how do you a heal a broken heart,

Yesterday was one of the hardest days of my life to date.
I put my best friend to sleep.
My heart aches and I'm having a really hard time dealing with this sadness.
I know time heals. I know she's in a better place. I know this was the right thing to do.
This doesn't help the emptiness I feel inside.
She will be missed greatly and I can only hope that she's running through a sunny field, grinning from ear to ear surrounded by an endless supply of tennis balls and milkbones.
Crystal aka Tootie aka Mama Bear. July 1996-April 2010.
Goodbye friend.

I am so sorry for you. I can only imagine how you must feel. My dog is 16 this May and I am dreading that day. She is the love of my life.

Sigh. I have never been through this but I know it will happen one day. My baby girls are only 5 and 2, but I just try not to think about it.

Thinking of you.

Ohhhhh my goodness, I am so sorry and my heart goes out to you! I grew up with only cats, but my hubby and I have 2 lil Westies and they are my life. I can't imagine having to do this and I am soooo sorry!

Hang in there girly and hold onto all of the amazing memories:-)

So, so sorry to read this. I remember feeling exactly the same way and I'm not sure you can adequately prepare for this. Keeping your family in thoughts & prayers...

[Jill Sprott]

Oh, Tina, my heart is breaking with yours. Your sweet one is free of pain now. We had to say goodbye to our Riley two years ago, and I know what you are feeling now. Just know that you did right by Crystal. You loved her wonderfully and love her still.
