Made the difficult decision to put our little yellow lab mix down this morning...
her seizures are getting to be too much to deal with.

She's goes for that last trip to vet in an hour.

That's all... my wife and I are gonna struggle with this... :'( :'( :'( :'(

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend/ family member Jim. :'(
 
:'( :'( :'( :'( I remember all too well what that struggle is like. You guys are in my prayers! ~hugsnprayers~ Cyndi
 
Jim, my heart goes out to you. I know how hard saying goodbye can be— even when you know that it's time and the right thing to do.

In sympathy today,
In friendship always...

Jim,

I know what you are going through. I had to make that decision with my black lab a few years ago. It was tough, but in the end I knew that it would be better for him. She will always be with you in your heart and in your memory. Just remember the good times that you had with her and that will ease the pain. My prayers are with you and your wife during this sorrowful time.

I'm so sorry, Jim. It's the one drawback to having a pet in the family. The day always comes... They bring us wondrous joy, though, and it's just doing the responsible thing. We never want them to suffer. Your family is in my prayers for fast healing and happy memories. -Noodle
 
Jimmy,

I'm so sorry to hear this. :'(

I know how much a part of your life she was. You were a good doggy daddy to her....keeping a watchful eye on her and holding her when she had her seizures

Here is something that Mojjax sent me when we lost our Border Collie, Lady. I thought I would pass it on to you.:

It is now time for me to say “Good Bye” It will be very sorrowful to leave you but not a sorrow for me to die. Animals do not fear death as humans do. We accept this as part of our lives. What will become of me after death? I will be in a place where I will always be young. A place that will be a paradise for me. Some people call that “Heaven” Yes, animals have souls. God has a special place in heaven just for us.

I have another request. Please find another animal to be at your side. I know no one can take my place, but I will feel better knowing you are taking special care of another pet. It would be a poor tribute to me, if no one ever followed me.

One last word of farewell dear ones…Whenever you think of me say to yourself that I was the one you loved; and how much you loved me. No matter how deep my sleep, I shall hear you and not all the power of death can keep my spirit from wagging a grateful tail. May the angels always watch over you as they watch over me. Remember... I will always be with you in love.

By Rev. Renee Karen

You did a great service by adopting her and caring for her like you did. Give Harley a hug and a treat for me. :)

I'm so very sorry. I can't imagine how you are feeling. I know I dread the day, if it comes, that I will have to do the same with our Golden Retriever, Cooper. Again, my thoughts are with you and I hope you can stay strong.
 
To my dearest family,

Some things I'd like to say...

but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.

Here, there's no more pain or sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.

Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.

Today I had to leave you for my life on earth was through,

But God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.

As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.

I want you right here with me; you're part of my eternal plan.

There's room for all creation, just like our mortal man."

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years

because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.

Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.

But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.

So now I am contented.... my life has been worthwhile,

knowing that you loved me and how I made you smile.

When you're walking down the street, with me on your mind;

Remember, I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,

remember you're not going........you're coming here to me.


Love Always,

Teenie
 
Sorry to hear of your loss Jim...I know it's not easy.I just look back at some of the time's,good or bad and just laugh and smile.

Jim, I am so very sorry, I have been thru the same thing with my golden and seizures.. I give you both big monster hugs and just know that now Teenie will always be with you and in your heart.. I know it doesnt help much right now, but I wanted you to know I know how you feel losing a family member like that.. furbabies are the bestest buddies you can have.. Hugs to you all.. and we all will meet again..

Sorry to hear this Jim...knowing how hard this is for you, shows your only concern is relieving your friend of any more suffering.....thoughts are with you...
 
Jim, I feel so sorry for you I know its hard, we had to put our black lab Liz down when she was 16 years old, then the next year our red tick terrier mix, she was 16 1/2, that was the hardest thing to do.
They were family, but I have lots of good memories and I laugh every time I think of some of the things they use to do! But then I cry to cause I still miss them and it's been a few years, sometimes I want another dog and sometimes I don't, its kinda hard. I don't know but, I do have wonderful memories.

Thank you all.

Your responses, shared experiences, understanding and kind
words both here and in PMs have been very helpful. This is
5th dog we (I) have driven to the vet for the last time... it never
gets easier and I never get stronger from it. :'( This was also
our second siezure dog and knew it was time yesterday after the
episode she had.

I wish I could hug all you gals and give a hearty handshake to
you men in deapest gratitude for your responses... Words cannot
thank you enough - especially from you who have lost SO much
more recently.

Felinepeachy - I have never been so moved or so effected about
my lost pets as I was when reading what you posted. I don't think I
can ever thank you enough for that... I can't read it without weaping
uncontrollably. :'( :) :'(

Thank you all...

Jim
