Someone shared that with me on FB as well. I love that; it's so true. Every word of it.
That brought tears to my eyes.
Brought back a lot of memories of my Pups that I have lost.

Thank you all for your thoughts and kind words. We laid Boomer to rest this afternoon in our yard so we can visit with him whenever. I'm taking off work tomorrow to be with the girls. I really wish my husband was here. He is alone on travel and is completely heartbroken. 
I am so sorry. All that have posted on this thread have experienced the same pain of losing a beloved pet. We know it is inevitable, but it doesn't make it any easier. There is a reason that your husband was not home when this happened. Take care.
What would that reason be?
I'm sorry GB.

I was thinking it would be too hard on her husband if he were home; considering how GB said Boomer was his bud. Things happen for a reason, and, also, things happen that are not in our control.

I disagree, but I am backing out now.

I'm not sure either way. But if it was true I'd hate to know the reason behind the fact this is the second time I've had to bury a dog by myself within the last two years. :/
I have lost a much beloved dog and my husband was at home and I am glad he was there. It was traumatizing for both of us.

I am sorry if my comment upset you more. It is hard to know what to say when others are grieving. I know your family is very distraught over the loss of Boomer. I understand, and know how you feel. When our Oreo died last June (2012), my husband was in Minnesota on a business trip; I had to make the decision to have her put down. I have walked in your shoes. I hope that helps. It will all be ok. It is the loss we know will happen; when we make a beloved pet part of our family. Our pets had a better life because of us, and no truer love was given. My mom used to say (she is gone, too) that she could see the love in Oreo's eyes when she would look at us. Take care. Robin

I told my husband years ago I'd helped enough of our pets pass on to the rainbow bridge, and I couldn't do it again. So when our Snoopy was in the hospital and we thought it was the end, he took the morning off from work to go to the vet and "take care of things". He was up all night (well, we both were) and he was a wreck in the morning; pacing the driveway in tears - I thought he was going to start smoking again - he really was distraught. I went with him to the vet, because I wanted to hold her and kiss her one last time, and instead, the vet asked us to take her home and see if she might improve in her own environment with one last medicine to try.
By the next day, we knew we were going to have to let go of Snoopy, so I called the vet first thing Monday morning and they said they'd have the vet call me to make arrangements. My husband had to leave for work and my son and I wound up taking Snoopy to the vet later in the day, to say goodbye. In a way, I understand what mamatutu meant - I know now that as much as my husband is there for me and is the strong shoulder when I need it in all other cases, I am apparently the one who takes care of this sort of thing, even though I never think I have it in me to do it. I think it is too much for him, in the way that guys don't always like to deal with their emotions and there are always "circumstances" that make it so he has to be at work. so maybe that is how it is meant to be.
To be honest with you, even though I'd told him that he was going to have to handle things this time, I'm glad that it was my duty. My son and I picked out the prettiest crepe myrtle we could find and made sure she had a fine spot to rest in his yard. Sorry for rambling.....I'm so glad you buried your pup near you.
