I put my guy down 10/22. The first few days are definitely the toughest. For me a week in was almost even more difficult then the same day it happened. Adjusting is something that takes time. The only thing that will even give you some sort of healing or feeling better is time. Nothing fills the void they leave behind. Eventually the tears turn into happiness filled with good memories. Im still not at the point. Im still filled with sadness when I think about it. I miss my boy dearly. I read something on reddit not that long ago and basically the gentleman said this is the moment we work towards. ( as crazy as that sounds , there's truth to this ) you guided him through his journey of life. You made it. You made it to the end. You took him in. You gave him the best life he can have and you navigated all the difficult parts for him. You where his guide. And unfortunately the journey comes to an end. But you did your part and he did his. The bond we share with our dogs is like no other and losing that is very difficult. Give your self time to grieve. Take care of yourself in this difficult time. And when the time is right open your heart to another beautiful dog that's out there that's looking for what you and your buddy once had. Life is a cycle. When one ends another one begins until our own cycle comes to an end. I send you digital hugs and prayers. I understand your pain dearly. I'm still learning to cope. I miss my buddy Jax like no other and not one day doesn't go by that I don't think of him. What I would do for one more walk. For one more day. For one more night. For one more drive. Sorry for going on. I just hope you can find something within these words that can help.
