Dingo Dog
Dingo mutt as a younger dog.
I’m not in the mood to write much today.
My Carolina Dingo mutt always loved to lay by the bathroom door. I’ve had to open it 2 feet away and step over him for the past 12 (or more) years out of habit.
I petted him this morning as I stepped over him and told him, “You’re a good dog,” then I went on my way to work. When I arrived home, I stepped over him again — but something seemed off.
On my way out of the bathroom, I bent down to touch him. His body was cold.
To say my heart is broken is an understatement. A little piece of me feels as if it’s died today.
My better half buried him while I cried. I still can’t stop crying.
I know that if any of us could chose how to die, it would be in our sleep, as it had for Dingo. It will be a while before that can give me any peace.
I’m so, so sorry.

He was the best. In winter, he used to get under the covers and that kept both of us warm.

Crying here, He was such a loving fixture. But you’re right. I have already asked to go that way … in my sleep.

You have quite a battle ahead of you, but you’re already showing “health care” another way to fight.
I certainly hope that when it’s your time, it happens in your sleep, too.

Thanks for the kind words. I will probably start on the path toward peace when I can stop crying.

Thanks for your loving thoughts.
No one who loves dogs can look at his face in the picture and not know he had love and compassion in his heart.

You are correct. You and I have found that we grieve no more or no less if we lose a human or a 4-footed companion.

They cuddled around me last night as if to say, “We’re here for you.” Our doggies are so in-tune with our feelings.

He was a kind a gentle soul.
I’ve found from experience that if someone dies in their sleep (like my dad) or a prolonged illness (like my 2nd husband), grief is the same.
