This message is not about my new Yorkie puppy, Walker. This is about my almost 17 yr. old Lhasa Apso, Max. We finally made the decision today to put him down. I'm so sad...you can't imagine. I've had this dog for so long and have tons of memories of trips he has taken with me and things we have done together and to watch him suffer through every breath right now just breaks my heart! I can do nothing but cry and sit here and pet him and spend his last few hours with him. We're going to the vet this afternoon and I will be there for him one last time. I hope there really is a Rainbow Bridge. Max was a good dog and he deserves a place like that. I just have such a tough time letting him go! Oh, man....this sucks! Why does it have to hurt so bad? Sorry, I'm bringing you guys down...

Oh honey I wish I could make it better but I can't except to tell you
to remember the memories the two of you made together and hold him
gently and kiss him before he goes to Rainbow Bridge. He will get comfort
from you and you from him. Yes I believe there is such a place. They
deserve to be happy and healthy in the after life. Remember all the fun
he has waiting for him and all the new friends he will make.
Hugs to both of you,

I'm so sorry.

Oh my goodness....
In my heart I am sure there is a Rainbow Bridge and I know that he will be there waiting for you. This is such a hard and painful thing to do, but the most loving also. Bless you and Max and I will keep you both in my prayers...

to you.....

I can feel the pain you are having, it just brings tears to my eyes. I'm sorry you have to let your sweet baby go. This must be such a hard decision you have to make. But I do believe there really is a rainbow bridge. And I know Max will be watching over you from above. In a way you are lucky you get to say your good-byes and tell him how much you love him. I wish I would have got to tell my Kloey one last goodbye and give her one last kiss.
You will be in my prayers, I will virtually be holding your hand, along with all your YT friends.

He will be pain free and resting, sending prayers and hugs..

Janie616 · 02-13-2008, 06:17 AM

So sorry to hear about Max. He was a major part of your life.
RIP Sweet Max,

and yes, there is a Rainbow Bridge

where he will romp and be rejuvenated.

About 20 minutes after posting my initial message about Max, he passed away in my arms and at home instead of the vets office. I could feel his little heart until it stopped and kissed him good-bye for the last time. I wrapped him in a towel and held him until it was over and cried, cried, cried.....
It was peaceful though---no pain. Except for mine. Puppy Walker and my other Lhasa Bailey sat by my side on the floor. I'm sure they knew what was going on and were trying to be there for me. What a sad day.....
I took the day off from work to be with Max and I'm glad I did. How awful would it have been if he would have died all alone in the kennel? I'm grateful that I had these last moments with him, even though my heart is breaking with pain. Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts!!! Besides my husband I couldn't reach anybody in my family to share my grief with. Thank you for being there!

Ahh, that breaks my heart. But you were with him.. and he felt safe and loved. His puppy family was with him too.. ahhh.

You had a long time together..how wonderful.
I'm sorry you have to deal with this pain.. I know it..and it does hurt.

Rip Max.
