The loss of your puppy weighs heavily on you. They cannot be replaced, lost mine after 17 years, held her in my arms as the Vet administered the shots. The pooch passed with a slight wag of tail and a smile. Poor thing couldn't walk anymore and had trouble raising her head, last week she was spoon fed by wife. Sad, can't be described. Time passes, pain subsides, remembrance is always there, our "shrine" to our pup, her ashes, lots of pix, and her favorite toys, is displayed prominently in our living room for all to see. Daily reminder of the good times. Pain subsides as time passes.
With the loss of your pup and all the Thailand requisites, present and future, it may well be in the cards to head back to the UK. Big decision but, if you dwell only on the "con side" of Thailand it'll eat you up. Don't suffer slowly. Have a deep heart-to-heart with the missus, and really explore your options and your desires. Big decisions require time and detailed investigations.
Good Luck to you and the missus. May the future bring you peace.
