Help us pray for our little Ft. Wilderness Chihuahua

[SandrA9810]

It is very hard when it comes to being "your choice"... with Kiani, I had the vet tell me in November that I should put her to sleep then. We were staying at the fort, and didn't feel it to be the right time, that should be able to enjoy her vacation.
I thought maybe a couple weeks later we could do it (the week before thanksgiving). And she was just so perky and happy and still doing everything fine, that I felt I would be cutting her life short.
Then mid Dec, she just managed to take a turn for the worse one night, and that's when I decided it was time. Life kinda got in the way and it had to get put off for a few days, but I took her on Dec 21. It felt strange that I was doing something so horrible right before Christmas, but at the same time, I knew she didn't know what time of year it was.

Up until I made up my mind, I couldn't figure out why every one was telling me that "i'd just know when it was time"... and then it happened. It's really hard knowing that you have to make that choice. At least a person can make up their own mind, and let others know that they're ready to go. With a pet you have to go with gut instincts.

The best doctor in the world is the veterinarian. He can't ask his patients what is the matter-he's got to just know. Will Rogers.

I feel you loss since thus far we have had to have three of our babies of the four legged variety put down and it is the most gut wrenching process, but each time we have been there to the end hold and stroking, cuddling them till they are gone after the vet has done his/her thing. I will never understand an owner who just leaves their loved one alone to face that final fate alone. We as pet owners brought them into our world when be got them and have an absolute duty IMO to see them thru to the end. We now have another two sisters age 7 human years that we will have to a some point go thru this again.

I have lost both parents and a aunt/uncle who were like parents and DW has lost both of her parents and while I'm not trying to compare the hurt, the loss of a pet that you have had for 15 years or more and nutured and cared for it like it was your flesh and blood it is just about a traumatic as losing a parent at least short term and even worse when you have to make the decision to end that life. That probability did not come out sounding right, but pet owners will know what I'm trying to say.

Larry and I have not seen eye to eye on many matters here, but we are on the same page now. Truly the hardest part of pet ownership is saying goodbye. I am sorry for the loss of your little friend. I hope you find peace.

i agree with everyone. larry got it right. putting your beloved four legged child down or seeing them in pain is so hurtful. i am sorry for your loss but, i do believe that you have a large heart and will soon give a great home to another.

your baby is now young again and running around without pain with the others.

give the other two an extra hug and kiss tonight...

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Your little one was lucky to have spent her life with a family that loved and appreciated her so much. I know how awfully hard things are right now, and I hope that in time, all the wonderful memories you have of her will bring you comfort.
