Still fresh in my heart, but I'm okNovember 8,2017 was his last day on earth. I want to remember that. I am printing all the photos I can find of him for us. We will have his ashes (I did this for my kids and husband who all love him very much; and for me too). My sister bawled her eyes out when I gave her the news, but she has also become a wonderful source of emotional support for my children in reaching out to them. Talking things out with her is good for them. As for me, I am doing ok. Still processing things but I am doing ok. I talked to a friend who also lost their pet due to the same reasons, and it felt real good to talk.

Re: Still fresh in my heart, but I'm okHugs! I know you did what you had to do, and that you loved him very much. I know he wouldn't be able to understand what you did, or why-but while he was alive he was a loved part of the family. It's especially hard, when we decide to euthanize a pet- it feels sometime as if it's some sort of betrayal, but we're put in charge of them, just as God is over us, and sometimes for their quality of life hard decisions have to be made. I had a cat of 16 years euthanized, because I couldn't let her suffer. I know how hard it is, but I know if she could have understood she would know that I loved her, as you all loved your dog. So very sorry for your loss....

Re: Still fresh in my heart, but I'm okEverything you write is how I feel. I have felt like the bad person in the family because it was me who made this decision. But in the end, it was the right thing to do backed by the authority of the vets. Once I made the decision, I wanted to take it back, but I knew it needed to be done. Thank you.
