Thinking of you at your time of loss of your precious Rena
your post is exactly how I feel and I can relate so much to your heart felt words.. exactly where I'm at in my heart too for the loss of Our Riley.. I know just how you felt about making that tough choice, because you know in your heart that they are suffering and you want that to stop, but at the same time you know that you'll never be able to take them back home with you hold them tell them how much you love them.. Just like you did with your girl, Our whole family spent a long time with him at the hospital at his little area hugging, kissing and crying all the while the whole time. Your dreading the next step..it was my first time ever viewing putting a pet to sleep.. Even though the Vet told us what she was going to do and what would happen though each shot .. and that we were doing the right thing and it was it our gift to him, it was still hard to go through. your right that last memory will be with me forever.
I do cherish that we got to be with him on his last day since he spent so many days in the hospital which was an hour drive away from us, and when they first go in the hospital they discourage visitation while they were doing treatment, as they said that your pet gets depressed after you visit them and then leave.. So this time I wasn't going to go away no matter what
I've been visiting BW site everyday to help get through this sad sad time in our life because everyone on here is so supportive and always has kind word to give. although its very sad that every day there is another one of our beloved furbabies headed for the bridge.. I just read them and cry so your not alone in your sorrow, We're all there right with you.
Sorry again for all the long post I start typing and the words just keep coming..
God Speed Rena
