I had previously posted on here about looking for something that I could wear that would honor the memory of my dogs.
6 years ago, I had to put my dog, Thunder, to sleep. He was a black lab/dobie mix, i had adopted him from a shelter when he about a year old and for the next 15 years we shared our lives together. He had gotten old dog vestibular disease, and the likelihood of him recovering was minimal. After two days of hospitalization, I made the decision to end his suffering and put him to sleep. He lived a good long life of 16 years, and though I was sad, I knew it was time.
This past Thanksgiving, we had to put my boyfriend's dog, Maggie, to sleep. She was a chihuahua that he had received for his birthday when he was a boy. for the following 18 years, he loved and cherished her, and when I came into the picture 8 years ago, she accepted me and Thunder as well
. When Thunder had passed, I focused on Maggie to help me through my pain, and she did all a little dog could do to help. So when the time came for her, I grieved as if she had been my dog all along.
I do not have any children, but I have been told that it can be just as painful, because in a way, they were like my children to me. We are still struggling through our grief, but each day it gets a little easier.
I had initially found some charm necklaces on Dogeared, and as much as I liked them, they didn't seem quite right.
Someone on here suggested Alex Woo, and after perusing the website, I found the perfect way to honor them.
