Last night after what seemed like an already bad day I found out that my dog, Patches, was put to sleep.
I could not stop crying. I really really couldn't.
Even though I had said "good-bye" to her when I was home for Thanksgiving, I am still so sad.
I didn't think it would be this hard.

Patches was a great dog. She didn't like me too much when she first met me, but a few years later she was licking my face like a popsicle.
I'll miss patches too Anne, and I'm sad that she is gone.
Anne - I'm so sorry about your dog. I had a golden retreiver named Trouble for 16 years. I was away at college when she was put down and I cried for a month solid.
I got teary just reading that post.
Thanks for your comments today. I am deeply sorry to hear about Patches. We have our own aging doggy and my heart breaks to think of a time without him.
God bless you during this time of mourning for a best friend.
Oh, I am so sorry about Patches. It's hard to people to lose pets. I am thinking of you.
I'm so sorry, Anne.
Oh Anne, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I just met Patches a few months ago and she was very sweet. It's ok to cry until you feel better.
Jake, that made me smile.
Kendra, Oh wow, sounds like you know exactly how I feel.
Mark, Wow! Hi! I will have to check out your blog. Do you have a photo of yourself anywhere? I am trying to remember.....
Jayleigh, You always say the perfect thing. Thank you.
Cheryl, Teresa and Christa, Thank you for your thoughts.
Thank you all for sharing your stories and for your kind words. I do appreciate them so much.
I am so, so, so sorry. I know what that feels like. When we put my dog to sleep I was a wreck. I cried every day for 3 months straight. And I still think about her all the time (we put her down in 1998).
i am so sorry! but i can tell that the emotion you feel about his loss means he was really loved. patches was lucky to belong to such great people.
Wow, I know this isn't easy for you. Loss sucks, for lack of a more elegant and comforting expression. I still have a very deep sigh every time I walk by the grave of Miss Kitty in a corner of my garden. It's hard.
It's great that your family was able to totally embrace Patches as a member of the family while she was here. Cute picture by the way :)
sorry about Patches, anne.
