This is SO sad. You know, being faced with the decision of having to put one of my pets down is probably one of the things that scares me MOST in life. I honestly don't know if I would be able to make a decision like that. I mean I know that sometimes putting an animal to sleep is the only option if it is the best thing for that animal, but geez......I would just rip my heart out.
My vet had actually told me in January of last year that I MAY have to make "the decision" with my Cocker Spaniel if the Cancer spot on her stomach ended up rapidly coming back after the surgery that she had to remove it, but unfortunately, my sweet baby girl passed away at the vet's office a few hours after surgery
And my Lord, I NEVER wanted my sweet little girl to pass away, but maybe it was God's way of making it easier on me to NOT have to make "the decision" of putting her to sleep later on down the road
It still just breaks my heart every time I talk or think about it...I miss her
SO much.
