Question
She was starting to walk in circles and standing in corners like she had no idea where she was. I couldn't keep watching her do that anymore so I had her put to sleep, but I miss her so much. on saturday

sometimes just talking about it can help with the grieving process. I have lost a pet, but not one that was mine in adulthood.

Self-disclosure
Before she went blind she was so loving and playful. After she went blind she started to sleep a lot

It sounds like she had a long happy life.. 15 is pretty old. This is the hardest part about having pets. Poor thing. How long had she been blind? Were you able to be there with her?

They never live long enough. I had her brother too. He died 7 years ago. He got out on the road and hit by a car/ She went blind early in the spring. I held her while the vet gave her the shots

I'm so sorry this has happened. Some say getting another one helps. I have never been through it but do you think it would? I would think it would take time to be able to but some people get another dog really fast.

ugh, it sounds so hard. My dog is 2 and just had a birthday. I made him a meatloaf birthday cake. I cant imagine how you feel. Maybe volunteering at a local shelter would help?..I really hope you feel better soon
