The last 96 hours feel like an extreme nightmare that I can never wake from. Friday night my dog of 8 years attacked and killed my cat of 9 years. Could I have done something to prevent this from happening? I was never meant to have pets. I can't stand this pain. They had tussled before, but this time...... I no longer have a cat. And in 2 hours; I will no longer have a dog. I can't even look at her without thinking about what happened. I was hoping that this day would never come. I am not strong enough to deal with so much grief. I would do anything to be able to go back in time and change things. Maybe make sure this never happened. I just took my dog on her final walk, feed her her final food and gave her her final water. Why do we have pets?? most of the time we are likely to outlive them. The pain of losing a dog years ago to old age and cancer was bad enough, but this..... i can't stop shaking and can't stop blaming myself that I did something wrong for my dog to do this and for not protecting my cat.

Dear Bluu,
I'm sorry this has happened also. I hope that you feel better soon. It is hard to loose people and pets that we love so much. There is no wrong that you have done. You could not possibly have known what the future would bring. I really believe you will get through this and begin to see the light of a beautiful day ~ and feel better about life and the things that happen to us along our way ~ in your own precious time. Peace, Night xo

Thank you both for your words of encouragement during this difficult week. I can't stop blaming myself for what happened. It doesn't help that I spend all my time alone these days thinking about it. I can't sleep and I hate being awake....

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I had one dog for 12 years and the other for 9. They both got sick and had to be put down within a 6 month time frame. It was hard to be at home without them.
It wasn't your fault. Nothing you could have done would have prevented it. Don't blame yourself. Be well - take time to grieve. Joe |
