Around this time last year, the heart of my heart, Jesse, was no longer enjoyig life. He was only 3 years old and we had tried everything including giving him up to a home where he would be an only child in case the stress of many in my home was a factor. It was not and my vet and I had to make that decision to let him go. It still hurts so badly some days but I know in my heart it was the only loving decision I could make for him. He lay on my chest all night struggling to breathe. He gave his daddy his final kisses and I took him to die. My vet and I both felt we had to be there for him and i cannot tell you how at peace he became instantly. No gasping, no whining just one last breath and he was gone..He does live in my heart and when the time comes that our animals tell us it is time, we must have the strength to give them one last loving gift...
Prayers to your little one and you. |
