I'm so sorry for your loss. It's never easy saying goodbye to a special pet. Only time will help you adjust to the loss. If you're a scrap booker, maybe you could make a few pages about her, with pictures and journaling about some of her funny habits, favourite toys, things she liked to do, etc. That's a great idea. I love the idea of journaling fun stories and taking pictures of toys and her with the toys and funny stories about them. We have a lot!

awww... Our 14-year-old had the same thing and we put her down last October. It's so hard even though we know we're doing the right thing. It helps to think what a good life we gave them, and we are lucky that we could choose their end. A friend of mine had her dog get sick suddenly and die almost overnight. I always felt especially sad for her because she couldn't really say goodbye. The only thing that makes is "easier" is time. If you're on Facebook your heart will break a little every day that you look at the daily Memories. My brother and sister lost their Great Dane suddenly last Oct. She was with them in the family room, then fell over and her heart stopped beating. She was 7 and had had health problems since a surgery mistake at age one. But it was still unexpected and so hard.

Thank you, everyone, for your condolences and kind words. Each of them mean so much to me. I may read them to my family and let them know there is so much support, even from online friends.
Her favorite thing to do was ride in the car. I would say "Sadie go too?" and she would get so excited! So weather permitting, she always went on errands with me, even until warm weather this summer. And she loved traveling with me to take her colleges sisters to from school. I will miss not having my errand and travel buddy.

I’m so sorry. I can honestly say the only thing that has truly helped me is time. I wish I had an easier answer

I'm so sorry. That disease sounds awful. But it is good that she is at peace and sounds like you had some wonderful years together. I feel like the only thing that helps is time....it took me almost 6 years to adopt another pet after the loss of my 15 yr old labrador. Photos help, maybe make a nice photo collage for the wall or something like that.

I am so very sorry for your loss of Sadie. GSD's are such special dogs, aren't they?
I'm sure our Holly (GSD) was at the Rainbow Bridge to welcome your Sadie with lots of welcoming barks yesterday.

My deep sympathy on the loss. When our first dog died, the vet donated to the Morris Animal Foundation. (Our dog had been his first patient when he opened his practice so he felt a bond to her.) Since then we have donated to them to honor someone's pet. ndd.morrisanimalfoundation.org/Morris Animal Foundation is an animal health charity based in Colorado, United States. The Foundation advances veterinary medicine and funds veterinary research for companion animals, horses and wildlife.

To honor their dog, my parents started a fund at their vet's office to help pay for individual cremation. They don't want families to be stuck with mass cremation just because they can't afford the individual kind.
Hugs to you and your family.

Losing a loved pet is so hard. Hugs to your whole family. Dogs are generally so in-your-face (or ankles) that you notice their absence every time you move. When I lost my first pup when he was 15, I waited 3 years to get another one. For me, that was a mistake, but our kids were young and they took a lot of time. When my last pup had to be put down, I had a deposit on another pup three days later. The excitement of waiting 8 weeks for a new pup helped the huge hole that was left. I worried that I'd never love another pup quite like our third dog. Spoiler... the new one is such a character and a lover that even though she is so different, she fills my heart like your heart's dog should do. I think if you know that you are a dog person or a dog family, you honor the love you had for your first pup by giving another pup a great home. You'll have to decide when that is.

But I have never been able to figure out how to post a picture here. I have been given instructions before, but I am very tech challenged. Thanks so much for the suggestion though, that is very sweet of you to ask.

That is a very good idea and I will keep that in mind. Thank you so much, that would be a good way to honor Sadie. Thank your parents too, they have done such a good thing to honor their dog.
