How do you know???

[tootsie]

I am so sorry you are going through this. I know all too well what you are going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Sam. Please give her a big hug from me as well. ((((HUGS))))

I'm very sorry that things are getting worse so quickly. It's very hard to wait for that appointment. I made Cadence's the day before and it felt like an eternity at some moments, and then at other times, like the morning of, it flew by. Just spend as much time with Sam as you can, and then go from there. I know how hard this is...I'm sorry that there isn't something else that I can say to make it easier for you both. Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Colby and Skye send you all lots of feel-better wiggles, and my angel Cadence is keeping special watch over Sam.

I too just wanted to send my thoughts and prayers your way -- these posts are hard to read for me because i went through something very similar a few months ago. But no matter what happens, your baby will always be with you and watching over you! This may sound weird to some people, but after our Nike passed our family got a stone "memorial" (it has a poem on it) that we put in the back yard and made a huge collage of pictures of her, so we know she is in our hearts and we still think about her daily.
*Hugs* and Harmony sends some big slober kisses your way

A million thanks

You all are so wonderful. I honestly dont know how I would have come to this point without knowing you all are here for me. We dont know each other, yet we are all connected thru the boxers we love so dearly.

I am so numb today. We had to move her appt. to tomorrow. Yes, Wednesday. She has stopped eating. The only water she's drinking is the ton she lapped up at the park yesterday and today. She doesn't even want her Scoobie snacks. Or people food nibbles. We knew this morning, today will be her last. I made the call this afternoon, and off to the park we went. We spent about an hour and a half just wandering along the river. She let me take more pictures of her too. She let us take turns this morning with the camera too, and sat for pictures with momma, and then daddy.

I dont know how I wil sleep tonite. We tried last night letting her curl up with us on the bed. That lasted for maybe 10 minutes. She got back down and curled up on her blanket at the foot of the bed. My thoughts were that mabye we wouldn't have to keep any appointment. Maybe she didn't want us to be so close if she passed. But, she awoke this morning. But she didn't wake me to go potty. No nudging her bowl to get my attention for food. I know she's ready. I know she's ready to feel better. I look in her eyes, and see the sadness now. It's almost as if she's saying, hey mom, it's ok to let me go now. I'm done.

I know she will spend the rest of the evening where she is right now, curled up on the sofa.

I know tomorrow morning will come all to quickly. I will try to get back on here and post in the afternoon or evening. And I may hang around this evening too. My endless thanks to you all.

You have just described my last day with Blizzy. No waking to go potty, no wanting to eat..that "look" in her eyes.

Yes, Sadly, its sounds as if your baby is telling you, "its time Momma" Let her know that you are ok with her going. sometimes they fight and fight and try to hold on just to make us happy. Its better to let them know that you are ready to let go and they allow themselves to go peacefully.

I will not sleep tonight, I'll be thinking of you, your hubby and your beloved girl. You are not alone. I/We are HERE for you. NO need to suffer alone. We all understand how you feel. Wish I could do or say something to make these remaining hours with your baby easier. Take care..

it is always so sad when we have to say bye to our babies. but your right she is telling you it's ok to leave now. I am sure she wants to make sure you and your hubby are ok. when she see's that then she will go in peace. just help her cross you will see that's the best thing for your baby.
godspeed

My prayers are reaching out to you during this difficult time. My heart aches for you but you are doing the right thing and setting her free of pain...may you find peace in knowing you are doing one last thing for your baby. Tonight will be the worst time...seeing them go is so peaceful and you will have more strength than you ever realized. Anticipating the departure in your mind is the hardest part. I know I do this each day. There's no love like the love of a boxer....God bless and heal your broken heart fill it with only great memories.....I will be thinking about you. Take care and keep in touch.

I am so sorry that this time has come for you, I am sitting here in London, at 3am, reading your post, I got up because I couldn't sleep, and now I know I won't go back to sleep, because my thoughts are all for you,...I can feel your pain and grief through your words...I wish I could reach out and give you a hug, or somehow take away the agony that you are feeling tonight.
What you are doing is the greatest gift that you can give, and the very last act of love and kindness you can give to your sweet girl.....tomorrow will be one of the hardest days of your life, and my heart is breaking for you, but you are not alone, I and so many people here are with you in spirit, and are sending you so much love and strength to help you....I am sitting here crying, and asking God to take special care of you tonight.
Remember, there are a host of our angels waiting to welcome your little one into a painfree place.
Please take good care of yourself.

oh boy, am I absolutely *blubbering* after reading the last post from Tigress. I am absolutely so so sorry for you, and I can't say anything that these other wonderful members haven't already said. You have a wonderful support team here, and they/we will all listen to you and keep you in our thoughts, hearts, and prayers.
I have never had to go through any of this...how terrible, but yet, how brave you are...
Best to you you and Sam...I'm so very sorry.
