Well, something i wasnt quite expecting, my grandma had 2 dogs, mindy and marlon. Mindy was the one with cancer and on its last legs, Marlon is the unbelievable crazy, but cute one.

Today i was just talking to my mum about them both, and she said she had forgot to tell me, but marlon had been put down My grandma and granddad have never ever even thought of putting a dog down, and they've had over 20, but marlon had started to wee and poo inside and even in his own bed and everywhere inside, he may not have had any physical illness, but he allmost certainly had a mental illness

Its going to be very differant without  him, and I know it probably soounds strange, but I realy miss the crazy dog. My mum didnt know how to brake it to me, because in my grandmas words, I was the closest person to the dog

RIP Marlon

Really sorry about that Jamie, its very hard loosing a pet.  Your family seem to be having a bit of a rough year with illness and stuff - good job you've got the prom to look forward to.

Take care

Thanks eli

that's so sad Jamie, losing a dog is just like losing a family member (been there several times) and it does break your heart. Talking does help though so if you need to just remember we are all here for you

anytime, hun, just remember many of us have been through the same things. I found talking and looking at photos does help, and in time the pain eases leaving lots of lovely happy memories

I've had to have many of my best friends put to sleep over the years, and it's the worst thing I have to deal with. They've all broken my heart with their passing so I remember all the great joy and love they've given me and it helps the healing. Hope you find the same, Jamie.
