This hurts so bad. On Sunday, February 17, 2013 little Rudy succumbed to his illness. He had a rough day on Saturday, and it continued into the night and by morning, he just couldn't go any more. He could not breathe without coughing, his little belly was so hard and bloated. He was so miserable. I think he knew what we were doing when we went to the vet. As they gave him his first shot, he became heavily sedated, but before completely going to sleep, he raised his little head, kissed me on the face and looked at me as if to say "thank you mommy". I will never forget that little face, those tear filled eyes, and I was sobbing so hard that I know he knew I was beginning my grieving. My little female yorkie, Gracie seems so lost. She paces the floor, looks up on the bed where he spent his last week and I know she wonders where her best friend went. We are so lost right now, both of us. I can't tell you the number of times I have woken up in the middle of the night to find him, and remember he's waiting on us. I want to thank each and every one of you for your kind words, you helped me to realize it wasn't about me, and my hurt, it was what was the most compassionate and humane thing to do for little Rudy. I will continue to use this site because I have many little stories to share with you about my little girl Gracie. She's so loving and compassionate, especially right now. I know she knows, she just can't tell me. Once again, Thank You to each and every one of you.
Sincerely,
Ta2rose59
Sherri, mommy to little Gracie
