In reply to the discussion: We had to put my little sweatheart down Saturday night. [View all]EuterpeThelo

And same to you on your losses as well. That's a beautiful and reassuring message from mama and, as for the dog, it's obvious to me that our companion animals definitely see things we can't.
Didn't intend to hijack the thread but just hoped explaining how I've been, well...bombarded with signs, really, from both people and pets over the years might offer the OP some comfort during what is SUCH a horrible time. Our family is going through the pet loss nightmare right now too and I empathize with him so very much.

You loved that dog, you didn't fail it. Give yourself a break, losing a dog is tough enough.
