Thank you everyone for your support. We put our dog down yesterday afternoon and told our DD as soon as we got home. She seemed OK with it, but forgets that Akiko is dead. She suggested that my DH bring her to the park after he finishes walking the dog this morning. The euthanasia was painful for us, but not for our dog. She literally went to sleep after a sedative was administered and then just stopped breathing when the final drug was given.
We miss her. The house is empty without her. I am walking around in a dark cloud. I am a total space cadet, forgetting things ... like the groceries in the car. I know things will get better and I hug my family and my cat a little harder. The cat objects.
*hugs* It is always a weird feeling and even when you THINK you're prepared for them NOT to be there anymore...you discover things that you didn't prepare for, like the sensation of them still being WITH you LOL.
It's so good to hear you add some humor with that last line....I'm convinced that humor/laughter helps us heal from so many heartaches.
*another hug for good measure tonite*
