Thanks to you all.....
I don't know how to get through this... my baby is gone. I can't stop crying and Dexter keeps roaming the house, searching every corner for his sister. I know in time it will get better, but right now, it just hurts so badly.
Dexter had been trying all week to get me to see that she wasn't feeling well. He kept getting into things, and he hasn't slept in the bed with me ( and he ALWAYS does ) in the last few days. He slept on the floor with her. I took him to see her grave, and I told him what happened, but I don't think he understands. I didn't let him see her body, and I wonder if I should have. That is one of the things that is so hard. Dexter has had her at his side all of his life, and now his best friend and sister is gone.
He and I will try to get through this together. He's been on Clomicalm for a month now, and I'm hoping it will help. But he is looking for her. He smells her on my clothes and on the blanket she was wrapped in. I haven't brought her collar and leash in yet, it is still in the car. I might do that later.
This is so hard.... I know that she is ok now, and I know I did the right thing, but I miss her terribly already. I just don't know what to do. I'm trying to be positive and strong for Dexter, but I think I'm failing at it.
Thanks for your hugs! We need them right now.
