Check Out My Dog

[Rupert Pupkin]

Thanks again to all of you for your words of sympathy. Your words of support give me strength. I never imagined how difficult this would be. I thought I would be prepared for this but I wasn't. When you spend 13 years together, I guess there is no way to prepare for the emptiness you feel when your companion is gone. I know I will probably feel fine in a week or two but in the meantime it's hard. It's only been two days, so I guess I shouldn't expect much improvement at this point.

Nope. I still get choked up and it's been over two years now since we had to put Nugget to sleep (tumor in her spleen that caused internal bleeding. ) We had her for 14 years, which I guess is a long life for a golden, but it was horrible... I've never been so choked up in my life.

This is Nugster the day before I had to take her in to the vet. She was suffering and it wasn't fair to her anymore... I slept on the tile by her side the whole night (she loved to sleep on the tile):

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Richi. There's nothing harder in this world.

As others have said, it is like losing a family member. We will never forget our pets. Memories of Nugget will be with you forever just like memories of Duke will be with me forever.
