In reply to the discussion: Why do dogs leave first? [View all]RebelOne
(30,947 posts)36. I feel your grief.
I also lost a dog to cancer. My 13-year-old Rottweiler had inoperable cancer. I tried to ease her pain with medications and finally had to give in to the fact that she was only going to get worse. So I had to make that final visit to the vet with her.
I know how hard it is to lose a dog that was probably like your child. This was in 2010, but I still grieve for her. I had her cremated and have her ashes. At least I feel that she is still with me.

My heart still aches for all those I've lost- including those even from decades ago and always will.
