Ugggggggghhhhhh.....

Today, mt dad took our Labrador retriever to the vet for a bad ear infection, and somewhere around noon, I learned that our furry friend wasn't coming back. The cost for surgery was too high for us to pay, and so my dad decided to put him in a shelter in the rich part of town, so he can have the care and treatment that he deserves, but we can't provide for him.
Even though I've barely known that dog a month, I'm a wreck knowing that I'll never see him again. And though I know he will live with some affluent family in a wealthy neighborhood, I feel like I've swallowed shards of glass. :blue: The worst part is, I never got to say goodbye.
So far, I've lay on the stairwell moping for half an hour, tried to drown my sorrows in 4th of July cake and vanilla ice cream, Taken a nap with my puppy clutched in my arms, mowed the front lawn and tried my best not to start bawling while listening to sad songs. Now, I just feel raw. Raw, like when you scrape your knee on the pavement, it still hurts but I can't find the tears to cry.
Why?

At least the dogs going to be given the care it needs by a well off family, so at least the poor thing won't have yo suffetr with the ear infection.
Sorry about you having to lose him, even after only 2 months.

That is sad but I guess for the best. question is can you buy health insurance for the puppy.

It's okay and totally understandable that you feel sad. But I guess it's best for your dog. So see the positive side in it and you'll soon won't be sad anymore.

It's ok to feel sad when you lose a pet, or even if a pet you're close to/like dies, etc. I got pretty sad when my cousin's ferret died, and when my ex boyfriend's cat had to be given away.

It'll take a little bit of time, but it'll get better. Just remember the good times you had with him. :)

I lost a pet once too. She didn't die or anything, but my parents sold her because we were moving and they didn't want her in the new house. It tore me up inside, but after a while I came to realize how wonderful her life would be from then on. Her new owners were really nice and had tons of land for her to run on and such. I understand though and I hope you get to feeling better.
