Oh Vera, I'm so sorry. My heart aches for your sadness.
Remember Indy isn't hurting any more and he is strong and whole and happily waiting for you.

i had to part with my faithful companion Tika less than a year ago. you have my heart felt sympathy. it is truly amazing how in the turmoils of are lives, we come to rely on your dogs as a steading force while the earth it self may move around us.
i maybe overstating the obvious. but you feel like you lost a part of yourself, because you did. sometimes you have the fortune to share your life with a dog that.. well.. just knows(?)
i hope i'm not over stepping some kind of etiquette here. but, when i read your last post i am optimistic for you. you seem to have an understanding of your situation and good focus of the goal your pursuing. you can cry and be sad. but don't lose the focus on the task at hand. you can fall into a heap after you lock the door to your house behind you.

I guess it might be a little easier when it makes a little more sense. When it was time for my Rottie to go, he was 13 years old and basically fading out. It was still very hard to lose him, but it was kind of expected, more or less. My old Dane girl, Tess, is 12... I know that she won't be around a whole lot longer even though this move north seems to have taken quite a few years off of her (go figure!) When she's ready, I think I will be too.
Indy, on the other hand, was only 9, and except for the recent trouble between him and Ira the puppy, he's never been sick or ailing. I just didn't expect him to be next in line, and I most certainly didn't expect him to come up paralyzed and in such bad shape so sudden. The vet still wonders if there's ANY chance that Indy could have gotten hit by a car, since that seems to be the only explanation that makes at least some sense. But I tied him up every time I put him outside to go potti, except for two times when he took a short little stroll under the trees at the edge of the yard (I watched).
It didn't make any sense, and I wasn't ready, and he was much more than just a dog to me... there'll be a lot of soul-searching and grieving going on when the critters and I move "home".

Just wanted you know that I'm still thinking of you. I know this isn't anything you are going to "get over" but I hope you are feeling a little bit better now. Hugs...

Well, he's still in his "coffin" (now in the shade under one of my pine trees, after some time in icy meltwater outside of the abandoned warehouse where the critters and I spent most of the last 2 weeks... digging his grave may have to wait until the frost goes out, i.e., the ground thaws, but at least he's home with the rest of us  |

I'm sure that will give you great comfort, to have him close by.
