MemberThank you guys :-* Im finding it a little easier to get my head around, had to pay my third instalment of her pyo bill this morning and it got me all set off again. Feels very strange here, empty and quite. Dante isnt too bad, OH stayed with her right to the end and gave her a huge cuddle and the vets said when he got home to let Dante sniff him properly, as they give off a scent when they passed, and Dante should pick up on it instead of wondering where she is.

Memberit is never easy to make these sorts of decisions – our hearts tell us to keep trying whilst our heads tell us we not winning and that argument within ourselves starts to cloud issues – then there is the feelings of failure to cope with and then hope appears for a short time and then more failure then guilt and when children are invovled there is all that worry and emotion too
i am so sorry it didnt work out for you all – i know what a hard decision it was and that you did all that you could but the weeks she had with you were most likely the best ones of her life – you know i think you made the correct decision and i think you know me well enough by now to know i dont come to that sort of conclusion lightly – the memories will get better – you will begin to remember her as she was on the good days
hugs :-*
run free amber girl – now you can fly with the wind :'(

MemberI’m so sorry Jodie :'( it’s not an easy decision but you’ve done what best for Amber and your family.
Run Free Amber :-*
I stood by your bed last night,
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying,
You found it hard to sleepI whined to you softly
As you brushed away a tear,
“It’s me, I haven’t left you,
I’m well, I’m fine, I’m here.”I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times,
Your hands reached down to me.I was with you at the shops today,
Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels,
I wish I could do more.I was with you at my grave today,
You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you,
That I’m not lying there.I walked with you towards the house,
As you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you,
I smiled and said “It’s me”You looked so very tired,
And sank into a chair,
I tried so hard to let you know,
That I was standing there.It’s possible for me,
To be so near you every day.
To say to you with certainty,
“I never went away.”You sat there very quietly,
Then smiled, I think you knew…
In the stillness of that evening,
I was very close to you.And when the time is right for you,
To cross the brief divide,
I’ll rush across to greet you,
And we’ll stand,side by side.I have so many things to show you,
There is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out…
Then come home to be with me.March 6, 2008 at 2:27 pm #89395Anonymous

MemberIts a year today that we had to let Marley our rescue afghan go to the bridge :'(
A decision that was very hard, but with the vets backing; one that was made :'(
The frustration/guilt does fade and eventually the happy memories filter through.
