It doesn't make sense that crabby people can live well into their nineties, but our best friends of the furry persuasion have such short life spans. -------------- Until you value yourself you will not value your time.

You were very lucky to be able to have her let go at home. I'm also very sorry for everybodys losses. Why can't dogs and cats have the lifespan of parots. They are such treasures:love:

Got one about 7 months later and love this one just as much. I've lost many loved ones over the years-young and old, and have valued every experience and growth that came from knowing each and everyone of them. It is very hard, but it is life and the sorrow we feel is what makes us human.

I too worried that when the time came, would I be able to do what needed to be done. i was taking her to the vet that morning to see if they could do anything (she feel ill late the night before). They opened at 7am. While I was in the shower, my wife came and said that she yelped and was laying on her side. I knew right then that i had to take her but not to see what they could do but to have her put to sleep. My wife and I put our hands on our precious puppy and prayed that the Lord would have mercy and let her go. My puppy hated the vet and it always made her nervous. I did not want my puppys last minutes to be in fear. Less than a minute from the end of our prayer, I felt my puppys heart beat stop. The Lord was very merciful and took her with my wife and me with her. She did not have to be in fear. I hope and pray that when the time comes, it will be peaceful for you. Cherish the time you do have.

MannyMaster Posts: 515 Joined: 2006/02/01	2006/12/11, 02:55 PM Our Vet just informed us that my 13 year old Golden Retriever Silvie has Lymphoma and only about 4-6 weeks at the most left to live. She means the world to me and I cannot bare the thought of her suffering and losing her. She has been by my side ever since I got married. A constant support in good and bad times. The sweetest girl you'd ever know! I will not let her suffer when the time comes, but I pray to God every day that she will just peacefully fall asleep at home. The thought of taking her to the Vet to put her down is killing me. We will do it if we must, but I hope it won't come to that. Please everybody, pray for her and a peacefull end at home with her people.
