The dog is Max and the Cat is patches, and we had to put them both down last night. Before I go much further, they were both pretty old. Max had some form of Cancer, we never really did get much of a straight answer from the vet, and Patches was recently diagnosed with diabetes, and wasn't looking good either. My parents decided to do it all at once.
I haven't been through this before, and I have to admit that I never thought it would be this difficult.
I always knew losing a pet was difficult, but I never fully understood people that put it on the same level as losing a family member. I do now.
I guess I'm going to put my great writing degree (almost) to work here when the only word I can use to describe it is that it kinda really sucks.
I guess that didn't help as much as I thought.

So sorry to hear about your pets. We had to put our dog down years ago and it was very very very difficult. Hang in there though. It gets better.
*hugs* I know how much pets can be a member of the family. Don't beat yourself up for grieving, they are members of the family and it's hard. Hang in there, Chocolate Lover is right, it does get better.
:( I'm sorry to hear about Patches and Max. They were very loving, and I know they'll be missed. All you can do is remember the good times, and that way they will still live on.
I couldn't believe it when "C" told me this morning. I'm so sorry for your loss and I know they will both be very missed
*hugs*
Certainly a sad day... Time heals everything... But you'll never forget a pet's mannerisms or unique characteristics...
