Sadness

We lost our good, sweet dog today. He was of advanced years, but his decline was extremely rapid, within 24 hours of being entirely fine.

Everything hurts right now.

It's insanely painful. I'm so sorry.

[annavere]

Thank you. It really is.

Heartfelt condolences. The loss of a beloved animal companion is uniquely hard to bear.

[annavere]

Thank you. It's something we sign up for the day we get a pet, but it's still so painful and hard going forward.

That must be an awful shock. So sorry you've lost your longtime companion.

It was extremely shocking. He was healthy and happy on the 2nd and dying on the 3rd. I take comfort in that he was a rescue and we gave him the best life possible, but it's very hard to go forward. Thank you.

Oh, no. I'm so sorry to hear this. Gentle hugs.

Thank you, friend. I shall regain my equilibrium in bits and pieces but it won't be easy for a while.
