I'm sorry to hear that Dot
I know how hard it is doing that and my heart goes out to both you and your daughter.

There's no feeling good about a thing like this
but I think maybe at least being able to cry will leave you
with a degree of closure regarding this loss compared to not being able to.
~BIG HUGS, Veronica
for the axe had convinced them that because his handle
was made of wood he was one of them.
I'm crying with you, Dorothy
My family had a dog when I was growing up; we had to put him down in part because I didn't take care of him nearly as well as I should have. Sounds like your family has done better than I did. Hurts more than anything when you have to put an animal down, no matter why. Hopefully you can hold the dog & pet it as it takes the long sleep. If "Rainbow Bridge" is right, we'll see them again, young and healthy.
Sorry ...
A shrink told me that sometimes when our reaction to 'this' trauma/event seems 'out of line' (disproportionate), it's because somehow we didn't deal with a previous similar thing. Or maybe this event is a 'releaser' for the both the previous and this event. ... Similarly, we have heard about or seen people who 'blow up' over a single 'trivial' thing - no, for them it was a long string of similar things ....or some such psycho-babble...
I still get sniffley over Domino-kitty who (I helped) set paw on the Bridge over five years ago... I know she is a surrogate for a lot of other losses ...
