Saying Goodbye

Topics

*yogi Bear*

I am sitting here with tears streaming down my face. Any of you who know me will know that my dog Chloe is the centre of my world, but the time has come i think to say goodbye to her.

When we got up this morning she couldn;t stand. She has only had 3 working legs for the past 3 or 4 years but has coped. But i think the strain on her useful backleg has finally come to much to bear.

The vet is coming to the house at 8pm tonight and if he says it is time for her to go then it would be selfish of us to keep her.

I got home form work and sat on the grass with her telling her if she's had enough to just go to sleep.

I love that dog with all my heart and am praying the vet can sort it but i know in my heart which is breaking that it's time.

Oh Yogi. I'm so sorry. I had to go through this last July and I still miss my boy now. You're doing the best thing for Chloe. There has to come a point where you just can't do anymore. I sat, like you did, with my Murphy outside stroking his beautiful head, but the look in his eyes told me he'd had enough and he was ready to go. I'm sobbing now, just thinking about it. She'll let you know that it's ok, you've given her all the love and care in the world and it sounds as though she's had a lovely life with you. Let her go and she'll have her peace.

Oh Yogi, poor you. There are no words.

My boy is 15 and I am dreading when the time comes.

I wish she would just go to sleep, It's like my dream the other night, the vet is coming to tell us we are no longer allowed to look after her and is taking her away

When I made the decision with my almost 20 year old X border collie, I remember the vet said I was making the last act of a friend. I found this comforting.

Tears are streaming down my face, I can only imagine how you must feel but I know it must be one of the most difficult things to bear and hurt so much. I hope you can take comfort from doing what you know in your heart to be the right thing to do for Chloe. I'm sure all our thoughts will be with you tonight

I know just how you feel. I still grieve for my darling little cat Bobo who I had to have put to sleep 3 years ago.
She had cancer of the jaw.

It broke my heart. She was my baby.
