I am so very sorry for the loss of you friend Baron. He sounded like he had a wonderful life with 2 loving 'parents'. That hard decision you made was best for your boy, he's no longer in pain. Its the kindest gift you could have given him.

I know first hand what you are going through, i had my best friend Magnum laid to rest on Oct 17, 2002 from osteosarcoma. We too had no children and he was our baby, my first rotty, and like Lola B Marie said, my Heart Dog.... When i had him pts my heart literally broke. I cried constantly. On the 1 year anniversary of his passing i broke down, same with the 2nd. It has gotten easier as the years go by, I still miss him terribly but he is with me
in my memories and in pictures. I also had him cremated and he is in my bedroom (only a dog person would understand).

I have another dog now Jett (a female) who i adore, she is not Magnum but she is the first rotty that i have felt that connection to again. I dont know if its got to do with the passing of time (6 years in Oct) or the fact that she is a female, but it just feels right.

Your pain will ease in time, you are grieving now and what you are feeling is normal. You will go through all of the emotions - sadness, loss, anger and frustration and eventually your pain will become less and you will only have with you the happy memories of one special dog.

Baron, may you fly high with the angels.

RIP
