Don’t worry. We still think about our little pal every day, but he is now lying peacefully beneath a special tree we planted in the corner of our garden so we have something beautiful to remember him by! Hope your new dog brings you an abundance of joy and happiness as I am sure they will. Dogs are fantastic. I also read about your journey out of dentistry with great interest. I understand exactly your battle with unhappiness as a dentist. It is great you managed to find a better alternative for yourself.

Chris, so sorry I must have missed your comment. I know how hard that was for you, and here I am replying over 1 year later!! Hope you have found the days a little easier. We got a new puppy who so different from Ruby, but we love her too!

She was absolutely one of the sweetest creatures I have ever had the pleasure of knowing on this planet. I miss seeing her already, but she had a great life and has moved on to a better place.
In March I had to put down my 13 year old husky “Kona”. In some strange way I felt a connection to Ruby, and I can just see Ruby and Kona up in doggie heaven having fun together.
Thanks for touching my life Ruby, and thanks for such an amazing article Laura. Ruby was lucky to have such an awesome and caring family!

We just lost our little dog yesterday aged 15 and your words really resonated with us. I am a dentist in the UK, and my wife married me and my dog similar to your situation. They are a big part of our lives and sadly missed when they are gone.

Thank you so much for sharing! I wrote this thinking it was such a self-indulgent post that nobody would relate to, but clearly the loss of a dog touches us all. I am also so sorry to hear about your baby girl. I recently saw a quote that I thought was so cute– it said something like, I hope to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am. They make us better people too, they really do.

Thanks so much, Annie. I’ve decided those pet relationships are so much less complicated than human ones, that it makes the love so much more pure and unconditional.

Thank you so much. Your loss is so recent too. Sounds a little like our story too. We knew it was coming too, but it just felt so sudden. The back legs giving out is just so awful. Shepard/Chow, I bet she was a beautiful dog. We did the same thing! My husband was out of town and arrived at 7 pm, and by 10:30 that night, we had a vet in our house. Our vet was so amazing– she even sent us a handwritten card. I wouldn’t do it any other way. I am so sorry to hear about your loss too. Thanks for sharing that. I know in time we will both find a new space in our hearts for another…

She’d been with me ever since I adopted her from the pound when she was 3 months old, and it was devastating. We knew it was coming, and one day her legs just completely gave out. Fortunately, I’d just found a local vet who does in-home euthanasia, and he was able to come out that very night and was wonderful.

Thinking of you and knowing how hard it is.
