I was with my husbands cocker Lady when she went into renal failure & we had to have her PTS .....I cried so hard I ended up on the floor ...and didn't stop crying for a few weeks...but it was peaceful and gentle & I know she loved me for being there...
Toby'sMama....that touched me so much reading your post.. Lady was the same way...losing her 'control' was the hardest thing to see and she'd be devestated she didnt make it outside...I can still remember the awful embarrassed look in her eyes....
all we can do is love them thru sickness and health - and in death too Amber. As long as they know we're there talking to them & loving them...they DO go in peace. |
Thank you V it's been really hard to read these posts and the poem just got me all choked up. I know i will be devastaed when it comes time to do this but thanks to you all i think i can cope knowing you wonderful people are here supporting me.
