Bye Bye Stormy.............

[JimB.]

My pretty little Golden retriever, Stormy, was euthanized today. She was a good girl who lived to the ripe old age of almost 16.

She was on her THIRD bout wirh cancer, had lost all of her strength in her back end, and basically could no longer do anything for herself. She had probably lost about 1/3 of her weight over the last few weeks.

Just all used up. Poor girl. Sometimes I think I probably waited too long to do this. My DW, who is a veterinarian, kept (gently) pushing me to make a decision for the last 2-3 months. I (probably selfishly) resisted until it was blatently obvious to even a bonehead like me, so she took her to the office and had one of the other doctors do what needed to be done.

See you at the Rainbow Bridge Stormy. You are a good girl and I'm going to miss you.

I am so sorry, Jim. It is so very hard to lose such beloved members of our families, and Stormy sounds as though she was certainly a special member of yours. Don't be too hard on yourself for putting off your decision--it is so difficult to let go of what we love so deeply.

I wish you and yours strength and peace and cherished memories of your dear friend.

I'm so sorry. We lost our 14-year-old golden retriever/malamute, Duke this past Sunday. We are so heartbroken.

Jim, it is so hard to make that kind of decision. We don't want our furbabies to suffer yet we don't want to end their lives too soon. I've been there before, several times, unfortunately. It's never easy.

Sending hugs and pixie dust to help you and your family get through this difficult time.

 

[Big V]

It's always so hard to let them go. So sorry for you Jim.
