We'll the inevitable time has come. After 13 + years of companionship we have decided to put her to sleep tomorrow. Her cancer has metastasized and spread to her lungs. It's not an easy choice but it has to be done before she becomes more miserable.
So very sorry for you and your girl. You are doing the right thing but it sure isn't easy....try to focus on all the good times that you have had together for the last 13 years.
So sorry for your loss, it was a year ago yesterday that my girl passed away at 5. It still hurts me to this day. We love them like our kids. Prayers your way
I am so sorry for you and your family. I don't know what the quote means, but if you have the strength be with her and hold her and tell her what a great girl she is. I have done that twice and as I look back, I am glad I was there holding them. God bless and always look back at the memories. My girl is only 4 and my wife and kids are so worried about how I will take it again some day. I spend so much time with her that we have a special bond. We are going out tomorrow for the opening day of waterfowl season and I will cherish it even more as I think about what you are going through. Good luck.
My sympathy to you and your family. No dog lover ever wants the time to come. It always breaks your heart. Hope your many wonderful memories will be of comfort now.
Thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. It is never an easy decision to make, and I have had to make it myself. Try to think of all the good times and the memories that you have. She will no longer be in pain.
Am sorry to hear it. Best wishes. Despite the well meant condolences on my last pup from friends and family - the single biggest comfort was my vet putting the dog down after closing, outside,sitting together in the grass. Just wanted to mention it. It's hard enough as it is, it did make a difference for us both.
The greatest love we can show is to let them go with dignity and peacefully. It's not an easy decision, but you are showing the love you have by thinking of her first and foremost. My thoughts will be with you and your family.
Prayers and sympathy to you & your family and all who love her. I wish they'd all go quietly and peacefully at home in their sleep but, the reality is most often, we have to make "the decision" and although it may not feel like it, doing so is really the final kindness we can give them.
Just remember the good times, and know you showed the greatest respect with your decision.
