On Wednesday, the same day we went to get our fingerprints done, our dog Pepsi died during surgery.
We are so heartbroken it's hard to feel happy about anything. We took her everywhere with us and we were looking forward to her being the family dog.
I know the pain will eventually get better, but it's hard to focus on the adoption right now.

No, but I just had to post because when I read this I almost said OMG out loud. We recently lost OUR dog, Pepsi! We had to put her down because she just couldn't go on any more-age got the better of her. We got her from a friend who rescued her as a puppy (thrown from a car). They brought her in the house and the first thing she did was knock over a glass of Pepsi and drink it! I've never met anyone else with a dog named Pepsi.
I'm sorry for your loss, it's very hard to grieve a pet. I found a site where I could light a virtual candle at the rainbow bridge for her, I can't recall the name right away. It takes time. Let yourself grieve.

Not during but after the process. We just put our 11 1/2 year old Great Pyrenees to sleep-he had advanced stage cancer. He was my 150lb baby. He actually bit DD when she was 15 months old (she hit him across the nose with a cup while he was sleeping). She needed 8 stitches on her cheek. I look at her scar and just want to cry I miss him so much.
How horrible to lose a pet unexpectedly during surgery. Allow yourself to grieve. Just going through the motions on your adoption process is ok-trust me it will be filled with many ups and downs-it's ok not to be excited about it all the time. Even pregnant women have days they wish they weren't pregnant (being uncomfortable, lack of sleep etc) but that doesn't mean they are any less excited about the baby.
Hope you feel better soon.
Sorry for your loss! We actually lost both of our cats during the process. We lost 1 shortly after we started the paperwork, and he was in a few of our pictures in our dossier, and that was heartbreaking every time we looked at them. Then 6 months later we lost another cat....same thing. I kept "seeing" him every time I went into a certain room.
It's so hard, but it will get better .
