Sadness

[Trainchaser]

Tomorrow my rescue dog of ten years is going to be put down. He has cancer. Feel like part of me is being ripped out. We have had wonderful times together over the years. Amazing what a pet can bring into your life. I am grieving and it hasn't happened yet

I'm so truly sorry Trainchaser for I understand completely. My beautiful

German Shepherd had to be put down as well because of Cancer. The love

of a furry friend is never forgotten. Always treasure those moments you had

together rather than the loss. I know how much it can hurt. xx

So sorry for your loss. I grew up with dogs at home and know they become part of your family. Keep fond memories of your time together close to your heart.

Hugs 🤗 S

Train chaser I am so sorry you're losing your friend. I have lost many of my dogs and cats throughout the years of my life and each one tore my heart apart. I feel for you. They are companions they love us unconditionally they are a source of happiness. I'm sorry yours has cancer and truly it might be a better thing for your dear one to pass now rather than suffer. I once kept my cat alive mainly because I did not want to lose her what I found out later was is that she was in physical pain and I really didn't know. Since then I have agreed to the euthanization of most of my animals. It is so hard it is so sad lonesome. I understand how you're feeling today and I'm hope you're able to find some peace somewhere in something. God bless you and God bless your dear one. I choose to believe that heaven is a place animals go and they get to do the most wonderful things that they would most enjoy. They feel no pain and they have happiness. It could happen. Rest easy my friend know that you're not alone. Take care of yourself and be well 🌈❤️

Thanks for your reply it helps alot. Kopitar is now in doggie heaven I am sad that he is gone but deep inside me it was the right thing to do. It never gets easy as me like you had to put down other animals over the years. Had a real compassionate vet come to the house. She made a difficult situation more bearable. Rick

Bless you and your fur baby 🍼 I'm SO sorry for your traumatic loss. I totally understand having to make that awful decision. We did everything we could for 5 days before succumbing to that horrible conclusion. This was my Haven's last picture before we had to put her down 2 yrs ago. I completely understand your PAIN 😢💔 part of my heart stopped when she took her last breath. She was my emotional support and recovery pup for 11+ yrs and 5 of 7 surgeries.

Thanks for sharing you thoughts. Kopitar is now in doggie heaven running wild with my other animals I had to put down over the years. We had a vet come to our house. She was very compassionate and helpful. Rick

I am so sorry for your loss. Our pets are our best friends. I will be holding you and your dog in prayer. 🙏🙏🙏

[Trainchaser]

Thank you. Pets sure do hold a special place in our hearts. Today was hard but it was what needed to happen. We had a vet come to our house. She was very compassionate which helped a lot

Thank you it was a difficult day for sure

My pets have always been difficult to part with, but you do your best not to prolong a life which the pet is no longer enjoying. We always need to respect 'that' time, and yes, it does hurt, because they have become part of your family.

Sorry for your loss,

Cheers, Midori

My heart goes out to you, this is the part of life that totally sucks and is awful. I've found it to be one of the hardest and also the most rewarding to be with my fur kid when they pass and to help ease their transition. There is no getting around it, it hurts like hell and I hurt for days afterward. the best thing you can do is be kind to yourself and allow yourself to grieve as much and as long as you need. There is nothing like the unconditional love of our pets and I wouldn't trade the experience at all to avoid the heartache. They made me a better human being. I still miss my fur girls.

It's difficult when a beloved animal companion needs to cross rainbow bridge. Stay with him at the vets so he doesn't feel abandoned, don't take the collar off until the vet says he's gone, so as not to increase his anxiety. Stressful enough for him to go there.

You know in your heart that he needs to go and be free, it would be cruel to keep him alive for yourself.

Cancer is a very painful disease, and when it is your time, he will be waiting, along with any other pets you have had.

Cheers, Midori

Had the vet come to us. She was great. Sounded by the people who loved him most. Had him cremated. Vet took his paw print and I put it in a frame and put the frame on my desk. Think we got 8 paw prints. Still have reminders of him through the house. Sad at first but than ok
