This is such a tough time in your baby's life, that you and she have arrived at. It breaks my heart......I have started to loose my seniors, and it is absolutely gut wrenching and heart breaking. You see these once bounding, playful, energetic, bright eyed precious little souls, age and slow down, as we ALL do, and I have seen over the years that how people treat their aging pets, is usually how they treat their aging HUMAN relationships.
It is almost impossible for ME personally, to let go of those I love....I have carried several of my seniors around for the last few days of their lives, simply because when I put that baby down, she/he begged and cried for me to hold it close....so I did. I had one that really was emergent and could not breaqthe.....she was rushed to the vet and they put her down after xrays and testing....she was riddled with lung cancer and could not breathe...it absolutely KILLED me to loose my precous little Hailee.....I have lost 3 more since then, in my arms at home....this is something you have to decide for yourself.....I have always felt it was between you and your faithful,precious baby.....and it has been my experience you can usually read it in their eyes...they just look up at you and you can read it in their eyes they are ready....they are so tired of the fight, they just want to go.....I weep for you and your baby at this time in your relationship. This is sooooooo hard for you to let go....but it is something between you and your precious companion. You two will decide when the time is right.....my heart breaks for you....I hate this time in their lives.....and it does not get easier. My prayers are with you during this difficult time.... |
