The hardest thing so far
Today we have rehomed our dog. He is going to a great girl, but I already miss him so much. He was my wedding present off my hubby and had him for nine years. Wish we could have taken him to brissy in november with us but he has fits in the sun, so it was always a no go never imagined that it would be so hard. Feel like telling the OH to unpack all the boxes we are staying. AARGH

You now need someone to nurse you through the 'loss' of your beautiful dog. Tears need to flow....It can take many years to recover, but I do suggest that keep e-mail contact with the new owner and if possible set up a web-cam so you can occassionally talk to each other, or at least see each other.
That way you both know that each other is alright. It won't then be as harsh as a total 'loss'.But then is that fair on the dog ?
Maybe a written update may suffice, that way the Dog has to get used losing you and will bond with the new owner, the new owner will nurse him through the bereavement.and you get to know that the 'Dog', I wish i knew his name, is okay.
I feel for you, its not easy, but you will eventually come to terms with it, especially if you keep contact with the new owner.
Sending you karma...
