Damn hormones!! (long)

christana08

My family has had dogs my whole life and we have an old male Lab that is almost 14yrs old. He's battled cancer for about a year now. The vets keep saying that he's not in pain so we've just pampered him and figured when it was his time, he'd go.

He's my brother's dog and they have a great bond. My brother has been growing his dreadlocks for almost 3 years and when Midnight got really sick this last month he said that he would be cutting his dreads (that are past his shoulders) and burying them with Midnight. He even dug the grave in the back part of the property on a day when the ground was soft so it would be ready.

Anyways, my mom called me this morning to tell me that Midnight passed away yesterday. I am so thankful that he's not uncomfortable anymore and can run and play now.  It was his time and he lasted a lot longer than we thought he would. But my stupid hormones decided to take over and I've been crying all morning. I'm a little better now.

Anyways, that's all. Just needed to get that out. Thanks!

so sorry to hear that. And it isnt just th epregnancy hormones, this is truly a sad event. No need to justify why you are crying. i still cry sometimes when i remember my dog that died in 2005!

Hormones or not that's sad!!!  Losing a pet is always difficult, after we put my Daisy down I thought I might end up institutionalized for depression.

So sorry to hear about Midnight but you are right, he's happier now.

I am so sorry! I still get upset thinking about my dog who passed away when I was 16 (that was 10 years ago) Losing a pet is so hard, they are a part of the family and when you lose them it's like a piece of your heart is gone. My thoughts are with your family!

I'm sorry... I know that pregnant or not I would be the same way. Don't feel bad just let it out.

I had a cat I adopted as a stray that was sick from day one, I got 3 good years with her before she passed away almost 3 years ago in my arms.  I still can't looka t her pictures without crying.  You're in my thoughts, it's not easy!!
