I am so sorry for the loss of your dear friend Cody.
I felt so bad after my Sophie Anne had to be put to sleep, I vowed never again, next time I would go natural. When God called my Maltese to come Home... I stayed with him by his side for over an hour. I had slept on the floor with him the prior 4 nights, because I knew his time was near. He didn't quite go in his sleep, but I don't think he was in pain, maybe more confused than anything, till his little heart gave out.
Neither way is good for the owner. I will take any of my pets to the vet, as a final act of kindness and love, as it is a more controlled situation. I have guilt that maybe it was too soon, maybe she had another week or two, and I'll always regret not waiting (for me, not for her), because I know that she passed quickly and quietly with me holding onto her, our final embrace. |
