Sky, im sorry to hear of your loss.

i had to have a dog of 13 years put down 6 months ago, and it was really hard. he was only 6 years younger than me, so i had grown up with him. it hit me hard, and it hit my family hard too. allow yourself to grieve my friend. allow yourself to grieve as much as you would if it was a family member, or a friend who passed away. in a way, your dog was both, he was a friend AND family, so grieve as much as you need to.

you did the right thing, dont second guess that.

allow these feelings you have, and dont fight them.

i am here ANYTIME you need me, ok. you have my full heart Sky. i know you will get past this, and the memories of your friend will remain with you for life.

take it easy, and cry those tears. its healthy.
