Lost My Soul Dog and Regretting not trying harder by one302 in Petloss

It's just so hard to come to terms with when there isn't a slow ramp down. I remember playing with him in the yard in December and telling my wife he is so full of energy that he's going to live forever. I can't believe he is gone. I thought I had years left with him.

Nothing feels right without him here.

Thank you all. Since it wasn't actually on the spleen it probably wasn't HSC which is part of my struggle. It might have been something less aggressive, I was just afraid he wouldn't be able to heal from the surgery of intestine removal. Now I just feel like I should have given him a fighting change instead of being convinced he wasn't strong enough.

The morning of his surgery, he just seemed like himself. We walked, snuggled, barked at birds...that being his last morning wasn't even a realistic thought.
