Comment on Grieving the loss of a dog  by Sarah Paki.

My human dog was the love of my life, she brought my partner and I back from a very dark place of almost separation. We had her since she was 4mnths she was abandoned by a river with a bullet wound on her left shoulder. We took her to the vet and she confirmed it being a bullet wound as it fell out while the vet was examining her. I would love to go on and on about my little princess. Anyway one terrible day my nephew left the gate to the back yard open which lead my dog to go through Anyway my girl was on heat and went to a neighbours house where her and a dog were courting no excuses for my girls actions but they were interrupted by a smaller dog my dog had killed it and was taken away from the pound. We spent a week visiting the pound every day. We were given 2 choices court or have her euthanized. Hardest decision we ever had to make we had all the feelings in your blog just making us feel sick in the stomach. If we took it through the court it would mean we still couldn’t take her home and then we were told that pending the outcome we could still be looking at euthanasia. We know what she did was wrong because we weren’t allowed to contact the other party just to let them know how sorry we were and offer payment for funeral cost we were lost. Visiting our baby girl in the pound was so heart breaking she knew she was in trouble but hardest part was leaving the pound and not taking her with us. Wednesday the 29th of January 2025 the sunset on our precious beautiful baby girl we were with her from start to finish both my partner and I had such horrible evil thoughts of revenge. The most gut wrenching part was seeing how happy she was we couldn’t get enough hugs and kisses I’ve never in my life been through anything like this my partner has so heart knew what to expect and he let me know he was here. When they gave her the first injection to relax her I could see she was going to sleep she came over to sat in my lap then her head fell in my arms the vet said he was going to administered the other she won’t feel a thing all i heard was my baby let out a heartfelt cry and i still here it to this day I screamed at the vet and pound lady and asked them how they felt killing a child because that’s what our baby girl was to us. My partner was so angry as was i he picked our baby up and carried her to the car. We drove around all her favourite places before we took her home for the night where we layer her on our bed and layer with her. Through the night of plenty of tears my partner and I were reminisce being up all night no sleep we had to send her off by herself 1 last time to be cremated. A couple of days later she was home now resting in her bed. Everytime we leave the house we take her with us every thing we did while she was with us we still try and do now but its so emotionally hard every where I go I just breaks down and cry she was my partners companion his side kick where he went she was there, i would sometimes join in on there outings but most times I’d wait anxiously at home with fresh water in her bowl her lunch or dinner pending when they got home in the fridge waiting for her to letme know she was ready.
