Maddie May by Eryland

Hi guys, I'm sure you were wondering where I went. A few weeks ago my collie, May, got increasingly disabled. I had to care for her and was always fretting and worrying, so much so, that I couldnt draw. She got worse and worse. Yesterday, at the age of 13, we took her to be put to sleep because she was suffering so much. She fell asleep with her head in my lap. So. Yeah. Obviously I'm completely heartbroken. So I really dont know when I will feel up to posting much.

Thanks. I've had her ever since I was 11 years old. My life feels incomplete and empty without her. I feel so lost.

Yeah...it was the absolute worst thing I've ever gone through. I keep hearing her little barks, but she's not here. I keep thinking I'll see her, and I don't. I don't have a dog to feed every night, like I have for 13 years. Its an overwhelming sense of loss, and I don't think it will ever go away. I know she was suffering, and a peaceful death was a good thing, but I miss her so much. I guess I'm selfish that way.

It's ok to feel that way. I don't know or remember how it feels to loose a loved pet. I might know soon though...

Aww, that's so sad! *hugs* That reminds me of my grandparent's lab who was put down after 15 years of life. I am still grieving over her. But it was for the best of course, she was suffering a great deal.

I once had a dog named Mellissa, she was a Golden Retriever, I was 7 when she passed away, but I don't remember her passing. I believe God took away that memory, but I do remember that on the night she died, I had a dream that I was outside and letters were falling from the sky, I opened one and it said, "I'm okay, -From Mellissa" and when I woke up, I knew she was alright, and I'm am positive your dog is watching over you just like mine, I hope you feel better soon! c:>

I have never had a dog so I do not know what you are going through but, I do hope that she is up in doggy heaven having fun. I know that you will miss her dearly like you would any loved one. I'm so sorry for your loss Eryland. *Hugs tightly* You can talk to me if that makes you feel any better. *Hugs even tighter*

I am deeply sorry about the loss of your dog. Losing a beloved pet is rough but now your dog has found its place in Paradise where it will no longer suffer. I hope you feel better soon!

I missed this before. Glad I decided to come check up on you. -_- I feel for you. And I understand if you're still not going to post much. You need to be with the people close to you, and I respect that.
