[quote=Anonymous]OP, I feel for you.  I was in a similar situation.  It took me about a year to not feel sad and think about it a few times a day. I felt guilt and regret even though I knew intellectually it was the right decision.

I want to copy here what a PP said.  This helped me more than ANYTHING else I have read while dealing with my situation.

Btw, I can understand that you felt you needed to abandon the thread.  Some people just can't put themselves in the shoes of others.

From a PP on this thread:

"Euthanasia is humane. A dog behaving like this likely is not happy anyway. You will feel badly for a few days and tender for a bit longer, but you will be able to manage the grief. In fact, you may find things easier once you’ve made a decision and you are no longer trying to balance everyone’s wellbeing.

I’ll observe too that this situation has gone on for a while. It sounds like you know it’s unwise. Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but it seems like something has happened to disrupt your normal instincts and sense of boundaries. I don’t think you’re trying to be irresponsible, yet you’ve dragged out a decision for quite a while. Once your house is back to a safer and calmer state, you might want to reflect on that. Was this really about the dog, or do you need to do more to take care of yourself? I’m wishing you all the best with the journey ahead."
