I am so sad and sorry to hear you had to say your goodbyes to Tink. She surely was well loved and very special and she would have known how much you loved her. Her fighting at the end was for her love of you and your dad and not for herself, she was showing you she will be ok and that she loves you to bits. It is always hard when they leave us but they also leave us knowing how much they loved us and Tink sure did show you how much you meant to her by trying her best to stay with you for as long as she could.

I still can't believe she's gone. I can't stop thinking about her... Laying there, alone, in the dark, at the vet. Waiting to go to the crematory. It hurts too much

I'm sorry, grief is a terrible thing. I can never find the exact quote when I look for it but basically "An animal will give you many of the happiest days of your life, and one of the worst." It's too true, we wait for that one awful day while the loving years fly by. And many of us will do it over and over again, sometimes even wondering why when that day comes. The empty house... it's the worst feeling. I love Peanut more than any other companion but this house just feels abandoned unless there is a dog in here.

If her spirit is anywhere on Earth tonight, she is with you. :sadhug2:
Wherever she is now, whatever your beliefs are, she is not alone.

I keep thinking I hear her... Her collar moving, her feet click-clacking on the floor, last night I could swear I heard her breathing. This morning I went to go greet her before I remembered she wasn't here anymore... God, I don't know what to do without her.

Tink, what an angel. So sorry for your loss. I am so happy that you were strong enough to be at Tinks side when letting her go. So she knew her family was with her. Rest Easy Pupper.

NOOOO! How could I have missed this?!

Oh Bee, I'm so sorry you had to say goodbye to your sweet girl. You both went through so much when she fell ill.
But what a wonderful life she had with you, together since you were both knee-high to a grasshopper! The dogs we grow up with always hold a special place in our hearts.

Rest easy and at peace, Tink. Watch over the new puppy and enjoy the wily hijinks that will unfold.
