[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dog had to be put down suddenly when my DH was overseas, I was 8 mo pregnant and had a 2 year old. I still feel traumatized by it. My son didn't understand why I cried and had a tantrum in the office, DH was upset because he didn't understand the severity of the dog's illness (puking blood while seizing for days) and then I was all alone. Even burying the dog was awful because I didn't have the upper body strength I normally have due to my pregnancy. Just one big fml moment. I spent weeks crying and didn't feel whole until the baby was born. DH still talks about "maybe there was something we could have done for the dog." gah. Except the vets took one look at my poor dog and had papers for me to sign to put it to sleep.

I'd still get another dog in an instant if I could find a breeder who would let their dog go to a family with young children. The good outweighs the bad a million to one. The end is never good even when it's a dog life well lived.[/quote]

I'm sorry.  I'm particularly sorry your DH voices doubts about how you handled the dog's illness, that's really cruel.  [/quote]
