I am so so sorry. After my German Shepherd passed away, I never thought I would have another pet. He was just so very special. Smart and yes, you could tell things from their eyes.

I pray you have someone close to give you a physical hug.

We care.

I'm so very sorry you have to go through this. It goes against every instinct to let go and requires alot of courage and strength to do what is best for our companion creatures when it's necessary to help them cross Rainbow Bridge to a new pain free life. :sadhug2::sadhug2::sadhug2:

Leyna passed away peacefully in my arms last night. I was able to hold her and whisper everything that I wanted to say before and during her passing. My wonderful son came to support me. I agonized over whether or not I was making the right decision, knowing there were palliative options available that would have sustained her life a bit longer. But deep down I knew it was time, and that she needed to pass with dignity and with minimal suffering.
The minutes prior to giving them the go ahead to release her was agonizing. She kept looking at me as if she knew, and it tore me apart.

I couldn't have asked for a better vet, one that I actually hadn't met until last night, as her regular vet wasn't available. But she was the perfect person to gently guide, answer questions and compassionately support Leyna, my son and me.

I miss my beautiful grey muzzled girl so much. I miss the feel of her fur, her sounds, her smell. She was my girl, always by my side, protecting, loving and keeping watch over me. My life was made better because of her presence in it. Now I must learn to live life without my baby girl. My heart is broken.


Thank you, everyone, for your loving support. You are helping me grieve and to know I truly did right by her. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

I'm really sorry but she is miserable in life now so your doing the right thing even if it hurts so badly. I was lucky that when Nerd bird passed he was with me in my room sitting on my wrist at the computer desk, one of his favorite places to hang out. She will be comforted and know she is loved to the end :sadhug:

That’s one of the hardest things a person can go through, and I’m so sorry. I’m glad you liked the vet, and I hope soon you find comfort in your memories.
