T&P needed - Saying goodbye to my sweet puppy tomorrow :(

YellowBag

I am so sorry.  We have a sweet golden and she makes every day better.  Hugs.

I'm so sorry! A pet is just as much part of your family as a human. Tomorrow will be a very sad day, but I'm glad she will have another purpose up there!

I am so sorry for your loss. Putting a pet down is one of the hardest things I have ever done. ((hugs)).

What a beautiful dog! I'm so sorry you're going through this and wish you strength and comfort tomorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Oh Aaren, I'm so, so sorry. It is the hardest thing to go through; along with your loss I can't even imagine. I had to put my Stanley down two months ago and I still cry four or five times a week. I think you should go with her for HER. She loves you and would want you to be there with her. I crying right now remembering it, but I'm glad I held him when he went even though it made it harder for me. I'm thinking of you. There truly is no comfort in this situation. I'm so sorry.

I am so sorry that you have to go through this. I know she is part of your family and it's never easy losing a family member.

She's a gorgeous girl. See if they can do an imprint of her foot for you...

Omg I'm in tears. That big old happy smile. I'm so sorry, my heart aches for you.

You're doing what's best and your little girl will no longer be in any pain. Huge hugs to you. Hang in there

I am so incredibly sorry!! Thoughts and prayers go to you and your family. It is one of the hardest things, but you know it's for the better. She won't be in pain any longer.

I'm so sorry sending good vibes your way.

I'm so, so sorry you're going through this. My parents had to unexpectedly put our golden to sleep last fall, she was only 10, too. It was (and still is) absolutely heartbreaking because pets are part of your family. Give yourself time to say goodbye and to grieve. I'm here if you want to talk. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I am so sorry, she looks like such a lovebug and a happy girl. Thoughts and prayers and hugs are with you.

I am so sorry to hear about your sweet puppy. I hope everything tomorrow is peaceful, although I know it will be sad.

I'm so, so sorry.  Big HUGS to you all.  Pets are part of the family and losing them is impossibly hard.  I lost my 14 year old cat in November but she passed at home - I tried to be with her as much as I could and, if I had had to make the decision to let her go I would have had to be there even as hard as it would have been.  If you feel like you might regret not being there, go.  Yes it will be hard, but you don't want to always have that 'what if'.  And she will be comforted having her family all there.  My thoughts are with you.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry that you are having to go through another big loss.

I am so sorry!  I've had to put both of my golden's down in the past and it is so difficult!  I still cry sometimes when I miss them.  Thoughts and prayers with you and your family.

I'm so sorry, Aaren.  Losing a pet is so hard, especially after all you've been through lately already.  As far as going in the room, it really depends on you.  I've been in the room with all of the pets I've had to put down, and while it's one of the hardest things I've ever done, I don't regret being in there.  It gave me some closure, and I know they knew that I cared enough to be there with them as they passed.  If it's just going to make you feel worse by being in there, by all means stay out!

Thank you so much to everyone for your support and prayers, and for sharing stories about your four-legged angels. I don't know what I would have done without this community over the last month.

I'm leaning towards going, but just thinking about it makes me break down. I'm not sure if I want my last memory of Casey to be her looking frightened at the vets office. I have a feeling it will be a last minute decision. Either way, my sister is going to be there in the room with her for sure, so she won't be alone.

That is heartbreaking!  I am so sorry!  (

Casey is gorgeous. I will be keeping your family in my T&Ps. Cancer got my golden too. I didn't know the vet wasn't going to let us stay with her. I have regretted not being with her until the very end for the last 6 years. So if that is what you want, you may want to confirm with the vet.

I'm so sorry your family is going through this. Sending thoughts and prayers out for you.

I'm sorry.  The loss of a pet is so hard.

So sorry to hear about your dog. Remember that you are doing a very self-less thing by letting her go... It's the hardest thing to do. T&P for you.

mamabisme

So, so sorry! T&P

I am so sorry for your loss. She is a beautiful dog, and I'm sure she knows how much you and your family have loved her and cared for her.

I'm so sorry. That is such a hard decision to make even when you know it is what is right for your beloved pet. I went with my Dad when we put our 15 year old lab to sleep and, while it was horrible to say goodbye, I am glad I was there to stroke his head and tell him I loved him when he passed. H and I had to put 3 of our cats to sleep over a 4 year period. It felt like we had the worst luck ever to be faced with that but ultimately, them not suffering outweighed our heartache at having to say goodbye. It sucks and I feel for you so much.

This is a poem that I read quite a bit around the losses of all our pets:

We have a secret, you and I
that no one else shall know,
for who but I can see you lie
each night in fire glow?
And who but I can reach my hand
before we go to bed
and feel the living warmth of you
and touch your silken head?
And only I walk woodland paths
and see ahead of me,
your small form racing with the wind
so young again, and free.
And only I can see you swim
in every brook I pass
and when I call, no one but I
can see the bending grass.

I'll be thinking about you and definitely sending t&p your way.

I am so so sorry. She is beautiful and clearly so loved.

I'm so sorry. :-(

Oh Aaren - I'm so very sorry. All pets are such special family members, and my family has a special soft spot for Goldens.  They give so much unconditional love and joy - from the cutest puppies to smiling white faced seniors!  

I would want to be there, but I think if you can at least take a chance to say goodbye and tell her how much she meant to you. I know an animal communicator who says when you want to talk to your pets, just sit quietly with them and tell them what you are feeling while you are petting and touching them, and they will hear/understand. 

Also, whenever I've had to say goodbye to a pet, I always try so hard to remember that they only wanted to bring me joy and would hate to see us so sad.   Sorry you have to go through this!

julymommy12

This breaks my heart. I am so sorry for the all the pain you are going through.

I'm so sorry about your puppy. She looks like a real sweetie.

This post makes me want to cry just reading it. I am so, so sorry. Words can't even say. Letting a pet go us one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, so I completely understand. Thoughts and prayers coming your way. Xoxo eta: I went with my mom to put our last dog down. I didn't want to go, but she wanted me there, so I went. I, personally, felt it was a lot harder on me emotionally being there to watch it happen. This isn't the case for everyone though, for some it helps with closure.

I'm so sorry ((hugs))
