I'm not a dog owner, but I love animals and wish that every pet owner was as responsible and compassionate as you. I too have had to make that heartbreaking decision, but figure it's the kindest final gift you can give to a much-loved pet - you take on pain so you can release them from theirs. And I'm sorry about Jessie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517697125324333905.post-62626293136241557042011-12-05T09:59:38.289-08:002011-12-05T09:59:38.289-08:00I have had to make this decision way too many time...I have had to make this decision way too many times, dogs, cats, horse. It is easier when they just slip quietly away, however, more often that is not the case. Never easy, always guilt comes with it, was it the right choice? Should I have waited a little longer, did I let it go too long? I keep promising myself I will not put myself through it again, no more critters, however, I cannot imagine my life without them!Nickienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517697125324333905.post-60904263018636285982011-12-05T09:25:46.997-08:002011-12-05T09:25:46.997-08:00I totally agree with you. a heart wrenching decis...I totally agree with you. a heart wrenching decision. I had to face this last July, with my 16 1/2 year old Scarlett. watching her fade away was killing me. when there was no more quality of life, no eating or drinking, I knew what I had to do. I did it out of the immense love I had for her. she gave me so much in those 16 1/2 years and I couldn't bear to see her suffer. I still cry over my girl, but I know I gave her the last act of kindness I could give her. she was too important to me to see her suffer. it broke my heart, but it is part of the responsibility of caring for my beloved baby. this was like a terrible nightmare for me. everyone who truly loves their pets know how it is. I would rather have the pain of my decision, than have her have the pain she had at the end of her life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
