Hubby and I prolonged our snootchie's life for months with water therapy and laser therapy. We finally had to decide whether we were prolonging her pain because it was too difficult to let go. That was almost ten years ago and I still miss her.

My heart goes out to you in this very painful time.
Hubby made this vid of Snootchie Bootchies and Randall when Randall was a just a puppy in 2006. We lost Randall last year. He is now jumping in piles of leaves with his sis.

When that is no longer possible then removing suffering is the final gift of love we can give them.

That won't alleviate the sadness, but please be at peace.

... but we just have love them while we've got them.
We now have a 2-year-old Great Pyrenees/Redbone-mix rescue from Texas named Honey. She's our big orange, floppy-eared house horse.
Our hearts are with you, ShazzieB.

I do Pyrenees rescue in Texas, Saving Pyrenees in Need (SPIN). Is he one of ours?

Now and on Thursday. Sometimes doing the right thing is the hardest. Take care.

but remember that it is kindness to relieve her suffering. I will keep you in my heart.

LetMyPeopleVote's post re: chocolate before you take Willow to the vet.
Why does doing the "right thing" hurt so bad? I don't know, but I do know so many DUers will want to take you and Mr. B in their arms and they will cry with and for you both on Thurs.

When I get so bad someone has to wipe my butt, wish someone could take me to the vet.
My ex was euthanasia tech and was there for many dogs and cats getting that finale shot. Very peaceful for an animal in pain. First shot relaxed them. Then the second one, there a peaceful sigh as they fall asleep.

Peace to all of you

Peace to all of you

but most loving thing we can do for our animal companions at the end of their life. I'm sorry you all have to go through this,

and I will be thinking of you all on Thursday. Please give Willow some loves from me.

We just had to deal with our little dog yesterday, we had for 14 years. Not a happy day for all involved.
Take care of yourselves.

This is an extremely difficult decision and is never easy. May your remaining time together be filled with the simple joy of sharing each others company.

It's the worst thing about them - our time with them is always too short and always ends. However, it's always worth it - at least she had good times with you.
