@Bast. You didn't make him die.You stopped his pain. I have had to do it with a few of my dogs over the years. It is not an easy thing to do. Nor does it stop the longing for our lost 'babies'. But I don't regret putting them down. It was a loving thing to do for them. <br>One had cancer - it had spread before we knew it existed. Another had such severe fitting over hours, that again, there waa no option but to put him out of his pain. Even the vets with all their drugs, couldn't stop his fitting. To this day, we still don't know what caused it. But I brought him home and buried him in his favorite place to lie in the garden. And my son (very young at this time) painted a rock with his name written on it &amp; we placed it over his site.<br>It has been many years since I lost these 2 beautiful natured dogs. I still miss them. They were family. They were unique. Individual personalities. But as with grief, time passes, and I'm now able to talk about them both. Without pain. Remembering their antics.<br>I hope this will come to you too soon. It just takes time.<br>Yes I get your pain. You loved Bast very much. And it sounds like he loved his human mum too. Remember that.
