But now, since all is idle, to this lost heart be kind

[mata]

I really didn't want to fall into the habit of only posting when there's bad or sad news, but I can't just not post this...
I had to say goodbye to Pityu today. The last few days he was getting worse. He barely could walk or stand anymore and he looked just so weary. So we took him to the vet and he was put gently to sleep. I know it was the right decision, but even though I knew this day would come - he was around 19 years old after all - it still hurts quite a lot. I want to cuddle him. I expect him to traipse around the corner any minute. He was with me half my life and it's just so strange to think he's not there anymore.
Sleep well, my little teddy bear. I'll miss you so much.

Oh nooo, I am crying for you. I have enjoyed seeing Pityu's photos and hearing about him over the last few years. I will miss that. It's barely 2 months since my own dog had to be put to sleep, so I understand the heartbreak you are feeling right now. He had a good, long life and he was loved and he knew that. Take some comfort in that. xx

Oh I'm so sorry. *big hugs* I know it's never easy but I'm glad he had you for as long as he did, and that you had him.

Much love honey. xoxo

So sorry for your loss! But, wow, 19 is an impressive age to reach for a dog. I'm glad you were able to have such a loving, loyal, wonderful friend for that time. I'm sure he was very happy with you. <3

Oh Gott nein! Süße, das tut mir so leid! *knuddel*

Es ist echt schlimm, wie weh so ein Abschied tut. So wie du sagst, man glaubt immer, unsere Lieblinge kommen demnächst um die nächste Ecke nur um zu schauen, was du so machst. :(

Den Schmerz kann ich dir leider nicht nehmen, aber es wird irgendwann leichter an ihn zu denken und zu lächeln.
Dein Pityu hatte wundervolle 19 Jahre an deiner Seite und da sind bestimmt ganz viele schöne und lustige Erlebnisse dabei.
Ich wünsch dir ganz viel Kraft für die nächsten Tage. *knuddelt fester*

RIP kleiner Pityu!

Oh, sweetie.

I am beyond devastated for you. I know what Pityu meant to you and how much you loved him ... and so did he. He had a wonderful, loved, full life with you. He couldn't have hoped for a better family.

You did the right thing. It's the last, kind thing we can do for them. It will always hurt but you'll find a way to be okay with it.

You know where I am if you want to talk more. xoxox

I'm so, so sorry, hon :( *hugs*

[tigress1313.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry to read about this.

We had to put down our dog Sandy last year she was 4 and that was devastating. Then in the same year we had to put down our Monte the 16 year old kitty. He was with us such a long time :(

I know the pain and its so horrible. I hope your heart heals quickly

xoxoxo

My condolences, my friend. I have been in your shoes three times with my own beloved dogs, and understand your pain too well. It sounds like Pityu was a wonderful, sweet companion who you will miss dearly. You will see him on Rainbow Bridge someday, and both of you will once again be young, healthy and overjoyed to be reunited again.

HUGS.

Love,
Robin

I am so sorry for your loss. Those little furballs really know how to worm their way into our hearts forever. I hope all the good memories will take away some of the pain. *hugs*

I'm so sorry! :(

[siberian-angel.livejournal.com]

I am so sorry for your heartbreaking loss. It's even worse with pets that have been around the entire life...

[hai-di.livejournal.com]

Oh no, I'm so sorry!! I lost my dog too many years ago, hurts sooo much :(( Dogs are the most loyal and loving companions of all! Wow, 19 years is really impressive. Sending big hugs xo

[stolenglimpse.livejournal.com]

It's never easy. I went through that in 2009 when I lost my cat after 15 years. And I saw him die on the vets table as I was preparing to sign the papers to put him to sleep.

For a while, I was seeing him everywhere and expected to see his eyes glowing in the dark in the usual places he would hang in

They aren't just pets, they're family.

*hugs*

[kerrsmith2306]

I am so sorry to read that. :( My condolences.

[eumelkeks.livejournal.com]

Nineteen years is ancient in dog years. You must have cared for him very well and he must have loved being with you! I'm really sorry, sweetie. *hugs tightly*

[cat-o-wen.livejournal.com]

I am so very sorry for your loss, lovely. Pityu is no longer suffering and he will be waiting for you one day. I have lost many of my beloved pets over the years to their old age - it is really heartbreaking that they do not live as long as us humans.

Much love and cuddles, dearest.

Das tut mir so leid für dich. Ich hab deine Einträge über ihn so lange gelesen, irgendwie gehörte er zu unserer kleinen fandom-Familie. Ich werde ihn vermissen.

I'm sorry

[beautiful-hooch.livejournal.com]

Lots of *hugs* for you. I'm sorry for your loss.

Hooch ;-)

[nerwende.livejournal.com]

Oh no! I'm super late reading this, but that doesn't make the news any less sad. I'm very sorry for your loss.
19 years is an amazing age. I wish all our canine companions could live to be that old.

[sweetnessarose.livejournal.com]

I came back recently and I wanted to check up on you and I came back to this... I'm so sorry about Pityu. :( I hope you're okay.
