I think its soon be time
 

Chloe is starting to go downhill I think... She threw up about 5 minutes ago, and it has some blood in it (I havent rushed to the vet , because i THINK it was blood, im not sure and im waiting to see if maybe its a one time deal) .. Im trying to speand all my time with her, but shes sleeping now and I wanted to post it. Please pray for my baby. Im not ready for this, and I just dont know what to do:( Please, i NEED advice. I havent been thru this before.

Most wont know chloe, this is what i posted in another thread. kinda gives you some info.

My heart goes out to you in this hard time. I wish you and Chloe well. My prayers are with you.

This is so sad:(You are both in my prayers.

I am so very sorry to hear about Chloe. What a darling she must be to you. Stay strong for her and she will hold on till she's ready to cross. Bless your heart.... You both are in my prayers.

I am so so sorry to hear this, Hold her close and give her lost of love. Please know that my heart goes out to you through this difficult time, you and your sweet Chloe also have my prayers.

I hope and pray that you have more time with your baby!

Thank you..

And i just want to mention (because i forgot to before) that im waiting on the desicion to have her PTS. I dont want her to suffer. :(.. But, what if i make the choice and it ISNT really her time? And I have her PTS and she could have had another week, another 2 weeks?

i hate this.

I'm so sorry :( I just layed my first baby to rest in Janurary. He was almost 15 (his birthday is in two days) and I raised him from 10 weeks old. The best advice I can give you is this: it is going to hurt, there is no way it won't. But it is the most loving thing you can do for your baby, to set them free from the pain and to be there with them when you do. They can not make this decision themselves, we must find it in our hearts and be in tune with them enough to know, when the pain is more than they deserve to go through.

I won't lie and say it is easy, and I am sure it is different for everyone. For me personally it was one of the hardest moments in my life. But as time has gone on, and the happy memories replace that day in my mind, I realize it is more about my own selfishness, that hurt and pain and grieving was about me being unable to let go. But I know now my baby is in peace and the best choice, as hard as it was for me at the time, was for me to be there with him and hold him in my arms to feel my love as he took his last peaceful breath.

Bless you and your Chloe

I don't think there is any way to be ready for this. Just treasure every minute you have and may God be with you to grant peace and comfort during this most difficult time. We are here for you!

Thanks AL..

Shes a tough old bird and is good at hiding pain.
but she is throwing up again. And she has been whining. I assume from pain. I'm leaving now. And, I dont think she will be coming back with me. :(:(:(:(:(

Am I being too hasty? Im going to call my mom to come get me (She lives 5 minutes away) So i can hold her on the way. And tell her how much I truly love her.

OMG, she is going down hill so fricking fast! within the last half hour. OMG. Im not ready, but she is.

I think you will know when it is time. I know its a hard decision to make. We had to put my DH's last k9 partner down.. I wanted to wait to see if maybe he would regain his self ( hip was completely out). But my DH looked at me and said he will in no way let Dak suffer anymore than he had to.. it was so sad but I did understand what he was saying. Dak had worked so hard and now was suffering in pain... I just hope that you don't have to make this decision anytime soon. Big hugs to you!

I think you can hold on, as long as they are not suffering, until you see the light start to fade in their eyes. When they look at you & they are ready, you will know. It hurts so very much and I feel for you having to make this decision. Trust your little one and just love on her and tell her how wonderful she is and that when she is ready, you will be too. Tell her that it's okay, when she is ready, you will be with her through the end.

She hasnt been doing good really for the past week. i keep thinking that im just holding on. All she does is sleep. She doesnt eat. And has a hard time getting a drink of water. Its been like this for a week almost. But now she is throwing up, and whining. Do you think its time? I kinda went into a bit of shock just then. I, I think it is time. She just looked at me so pittifully. she opened her eyes, and let them slowly shut again. I know you must be thinking "THEN why are you on this forum and not speanding time with her?!" but she is in my arms. on my bed. Waiting for my mom... Im bringing her to the vet, im going to love her, and maybe say a "see you later" in the car (never a good-bye).. And see what the vet thinks.

I am so sad for you! I hope the vet may have some better news for you. We'll be waiting for an update.

Sweetheart, I'm afraid you might already have your answer. My heart just breaks for you both. Rescued babies are so very special to our hearts. I'm glad your mom will be with you. Hold her close and love on her.

My heart goes out to you. I had two dogs that were diagnosised with cancer 1 month of eachother. I lost them both 2.5 years later within one month of eachother. Trust your heart, they will let you know when it is time. I would say from your last post she is telling you it is time. It i s not easy. I held mind until the end, they knew how much they were loved. I am sure your little Choe knows how deep your love is for her and I bet she feels the same about you.
My prayers are with you.

you have given Chloe all the love and affection humanly possible throughout the years she has had left. Chole has lived longer because of you, and your love , and dedication to her. my heart is breaking for you. you are in my thoughts and prayers. Dear Chloe has had lived the rest of her years in a home of peace and hapiness.

My prayers for you and Chloe.

I have the biggest lump in my throat and tears in my eyes...I am so sorry and my prayers are with you both tonight.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your baby. I'm so sorry. I know this is hard for you. :(

My heart goes out to you and pray you do the best thing by Chloe.

I know that I lost my beloved Cleo to Congenital Heart Failure. She was diagnosed 5 weeks before we put her down. Did everything to keep her alive, Specialists, Meds, Tests. Then it just became to much for her and she went comotose in my arms....I couldn't hold onto her any longer and my husband took her in and held her while she passed over to rainbow bridge. She was 16, and I still miss her desperately.

im so sorry
 

I just want to say I'm so sorry... I am sitting here reading and crying. My heart breaks for you. You have given her the best of you and she knows that you love her. I will pray for you and am here if you need a friend to talk to...

Just reading this thread makes me cry for you both! I can not imagine what a difficult time you are experiencing right now. I am sorry you have to go through this!

Im afraid, we have lost her:( I got to the vet and he said at this point there wasnt anything we could do. He kept telling me that she had lived a long life, and she was ready to go. We couldnt do anything. At 10:26 pm, i said good-bye to my baby. I said good-bye to my Heart dog.. The vet gave me a private room to go into and say good-bye.. Well, not good-bye, see ya later... She gave me a lick on the nose and rested her head again. At that point there was no doubt in my mind that she was ready.
I hope she crossed the bridge with ease. And i hope my sophie is there waiting for her. The best of friends are going to be reunited... At this point i just want to be alone, and i dont think it has sunken in yet, that she is gone. I swear i keep going to pet her.. I havent stopped crying..

Good-bye chloe, You were my saviour. You kept my life from being a big black hole. I love you forever. And I will be with you again. I Promise. I wont abandon you like so many others did. I missed you before you were even gone. I love you. Forever.


For my baby..

Oh Honey, I am so sorry....

I couldn't even listen to the song, had to turn it off just a few seconds in.

I can feel your pain and just want you to know that you made her life beautiful and helped make up for all the bad she went through before she found you. She knew how much you loved her and she will always be with you.

My love and prayers to you...

I just hate this for you. I know Chloe is better now but broken hearts are hard to mend and I'm sorry yours is breaking now.
Peace and light.

in memory
 

I am soo sorry for your loss... I hope that you will find peace knowing that you made her last years the best... God bless you..

I'm so very sad ot hear about your dear sweetheart. We just lost our 12 yr old Great Pyrenees @ 3 weeks ago. It is never easy, but as least you had a little time with her and could tell her how much she was loved.

Kelli was with my ex-husband back in KS when she started going downhill fast. Within just a few hours she was ready to pass. He held the phone to her ear so I could say my goodbyes and I told her that I loved her and that she was such a sweet princess, but it was time for her to pass over the bridge and meet Shoshon (my DIL's 2 1/2 year old Newfoundland who passed last year from cancer, they were best buds) and be free to run and play with each other forever. I know she heard me and understood, as her eyes were moving and her ears were flopping. Before I spoke to her she had not moved at all, except just breathing. I told her it was okay and that I loved her so very much.

Cherish those last moments and know that you gave her everything through the end. You told her how much you loved her and I'm certain she knew it was breaking your heart but she loved you unconditionally. If you need anything, no matter how big or small, let me know. {{{{HUGS}}}}

Thanks everybody..

Happybunny, im sorry to hear about your loss.. :(


Its so wierd. Tonight when i go to bed (IF i go to bed) i will have a bed to myself. And i will actually have some room. She always liked to lie down across the bed and stretch out. :(

Im crying, tears are rolling down my face, and she isnt here to comfort me and lick them off... My heart is gone.
