June 7, 2011 8:14 AM

I was in DL last week and now that I'm home, I've realized I lost some weight. Please don't congratulate me--while we we were in Anaheim, we got a call from my brother in law that said our dog was sick. We told him to go ahead and go to the vet; it ended up that our dog needed to be put down :(. Those few pounds are from sadness and stress, and I would much rather be a little heavier and have my dog than have lost the weight! Here's my moral: The next time you're worried about a few negligible pounds, try to think of all the wonderful things you have in your life and be happy with your little blessings :)

Aw, I'm so sorry about your dog. I know how sad it is to lose a family member like that. My condolences to you and your family. - TamiPoppins 39.7 #3993 8:22AM

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your family pet. We lost our dog about a month ago as well, so I know what you are going through. It is so hard especially when they have been with you so long. We had our Slinky dog for 10 years. I just remind the kids that he is still and will always be a part of our family. - tram1995 12.6 #6105 8:24AM

Oh my!! I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for the reminder to keep things in perspective. - vernswifevickie 318.2 #525 8:33AM

Thanks, you guys--I really appreciate your kindness! @tram1995: I'm sorry to hear about your dog, also. They really are parts of our families. We have so many things in life to be thankful for, and a few pounds really don't matter much in the grand scheme of things :) - Spoonful_O_Sugar 435.8 #283 8:41AM

My heart goes out to you spoonful and tram..When I was young we lost both our poodles and my mother read to us a rudyard Kipling poem "The power of the dog".. That said I would give my heart for a dog to tear everytime. They bring so much joy and companionship. I do cherish the moments we have.. moments we have.. - Twinklelashes 144.3 #2374 9:12AM

Aw, thanks Twinklelashes! I read that poem when I was a kid--thanks for reminding me about it :) I had dogs all through my childhood, but this loss is particularly painful because he was the first dog that was truly mine and my husband's--we were his caretakers. Plus, he was not even 5 years old, so we thought we had many more years with him. - Spoonful_O_Sugar 435.8 #283 10:39AM

I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. :( - Mrs.mouse 420.2 #306 10:56AM

Aw I think it's even worse when a pet dies young. At least if they are older I'm kind of expecting it, and even then it's still heart breaking. So sorry again. - TamiPoppins 39.7 #3993 11:00AM

Aw Spoonful, I'm so sorry to read this. I'm a total dog person and (especially since I'm unemployed) my dog Pono is my absolute best buddy. I can't imagine my life without him. If it makes you feel any better, when I'm sad or depressed I eat everything in sight and would have gained 20 lbs! - msdizmaui 518.6 #224 3:24PM

Thanks for the good wishes, everyone :). I really appreciate your support! - Spoonful_O_Sugar 435.8 #283 7:09PM
