Diana, I have had to put 5 dogs down in my life time and it was not and easy thing to do.They all died in my arms,my last two died 4 years ago, It was really hard for me to get the last moments of their life out of my head, and think, was there more that I could have done even when I was told no, so I know what you are going through and I am so sorry for you loss.I have found that the best thing to do is to go out and get another one .It will not take the place of Nicky, but it will help to fill some of the emptyness.My last two died a month apart from each other,it was the worst thing I have ever experienced,I swore I would never get another dog again.After a week of not having any dogs I could not take it so I went and got a German Shepard,one year later I got a Labrodoodle and now I just got a Baby Great Dane.I have come to realize that I can not have only one dog,I need at least three,they are like my children.My kids think Iam nuts for having all these animals,I suffer from fibromyalgia and there days that I can not take care of myself but I know I have to forget my pain and take care of my babies because they need me as much as I need them. Good Luck.Ther is light at the end of the tunnel,time heals all.
