So this isn't entirely related. We put our dog to sleep yesterday and it was an extremely difficult to say goodbye. Anyone who has pets understand it is like losing a family member. It's also so hard to see my OH suffering the loss.

My heart feels so heavy with everything that's going on already and this is an additional weight. We are still waiting to hear back from CPS and I don't know how much more I can take.

Pets are always a buffer and little ray of sunshine when going through something difficult so we are both taking the loss very hard.

I don't really have a question but just need to express this as a lot of people understand the loss of an animal, but it's even worse when we have this going on.

Sending a hug and hand to hold. We got kittens just after the knock and I know it's helped me and the children so much to have little furry babies to unconditionally love. So sorry xx

I totally understand your feelings, a pet is such a huge part of a family and coupled with everything else that's going on it is bound to be a huge loss. Big hug sent your way xx

We never understood how people can invest so much love in a dog until we started 'dog sitting' for a family member.

I love our boy - he's cute, funny, loving, a devoted friend and so loyal - especially when treats are on offer. He is so much a loved part of our family now, so fully understand how devastated you must be feeling.

Sending your family a hug x
