Anyone Remember "Flossie"? End of the Road Here! - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Oscar's Mom · 03-05-2006, 07:23 PM

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Flossie! I hope for you and her both that she does slip away to be with your Mother tonight...It is very hard either way, if she goes on her own or if you have to make that decision for her. But rest assured, if you have to have her put down, it is what she would ask of you. She has been your loyal friend all these years and now it is your turn to be loyal back to her. She has lived a long and good life and it is just time. I am gad you brought her inside. A bath would not hurt her at this point and would most likely make her feel more soothed. Warm some towels in the microwave and just wrap her and hold her when you are done...I would think it would certainly relax her and make her smell better all at the same time. God Bless you for caring for her and showing her mercy in her final hours.

I am so glad you brought her in the house. Is there any way to talk to a vet to see if they can help ease her suffering. I know it is the hardest decision to make but if she is in pain you can make her final day easier for her. My heart goes out to you and I can imagine your pain.

SnowWa · 03-05-2006, 07:44 PM

It is so sad - I would have put her to sleep before now. I'm probably faster at doing this then many people might be, but I just can't stand to have my dogs suffer --even if it isn't a lot. When their days are no longer pain-free or enjoyable....I just drag myself to the vet...it's hard.

It is never easy - I'm sure that that is why some people keep their dogs much longer. No matter when, where, or how --it always breaks our hearts.

I'm very sorry for your experience with your little dog.

I feel so bad for both you and the dog. Good luck.

This thread really made me cry. It is like reliving Lacey's last moments all over again. We kept putting off putting my yorkie Lacey to sleep. Even though she was 13 and suffering from chronic kidney failure. She seemed so healthy and the fluids seemed to be helping. Until I only 5 days after my birthday, after returning from a fishing trip, she took a turn for the worse. She would not eat or drink. Fluid was coming from her mouth. I was hoping that she would die in her sleep. Because I felt too guilty having her put to sleep like it was murder. I had to work in the morning, so I could not bring myself to painful task of driving her to the vet. She did not die in her sleep, so my mom had to do it in the morning. I cried and cried. Here it is nearly 8 months later, and the pain is still there. I have a new yorkie puppy that I love dearly but I will never forget my Lacey. And how much she touched my life.

Just give Flossy lots of petting, tell her you love her and it is okay to go to Rainbow Bridge. When the time is right, we will see all our furry friends again. The love and time you gave each other in this lifetime is priceless and will last forever.

Your situation is so sad. It is so hard to say goodbye. My heart breaks for you and Flossie.Try and remember that she will always be with you in spirit and will soon join your Mom as your guardian angel.

Connie · 03-05-2006, 11:22 PM

I've read this thread with a heavy heart...I also remember the one you posted earlier and was just thinking about Flossie the other day. My heart aches for you and I wish there was something I could say to make you feel better. It is so hard losing a family member, but poor Flossie has no quality of life any more and the most unselfish act of love you can show her now is to get her put to sleep. I will be thinking of you and Flossie and also will pray for you both. Big hugs sent your way!

red98vett · 03-06-2006, 04:02 AM

I'm SO GLAD You brought that angel inside...I was so worried about her last night thinking about her all alone and you did the right thing keeping her with you.

Please know you have many prayers coming to you and Flossie.....

this thread is so heartbreaking I'm in tears again.....

Bless your little Heart Flossie....I hope you are at Rainbow Bridge as I type this....and if not....may your passing be peaceful...you can go be with your mommy now...

rrosenberry · 03-06-2006, 05:34 AM

I remember your original post on Flossie, It is so hard, I'm wondering how things are today,and hoping she went in her sleep last night, to end her suffering. You're in my prayers and thoughts, and poor Flossie too.

I believe she was your angel also, and she was there for you in your time of need, and now you must be there for her, in hers.

Momofthree · 03-06-2006, 05:37 AM

Kerri... I am so sorry to hear about Fossie. Thats got to be so hard for bothof you. Our 12 yrs Male Lhasa passed away Jan 2nd of Kidney failure... But his was quick... and he passed in his sleep.

It is always hard to say good bye. I hope she does not suffer much longer.

Kerri · 03-06-2006, 09:08 AM

Thanks for everyone for being here and all the support. Flossie will be with me one more day and she will be going to the vet. in the morning. My sister it taking her. I'm sorry but I can not do it myself. Flossie knows my sister well so I'm sure she will be fine. I have had to hold back tears all day long, being that I am at work today. Goodbye is going to be tough but she will be much more comfortable and her struggling days will be over.

Kerri · 03-06-2006, 03:02 PM

Getting prepared here for the worst for me but the best for Flossie. I have chosen to bring Flossie back and bury here at our house. We live way out in the secluded country and I will be a little more at peace knowing she will always be nearby when I want to visit her. As I pulled in our driveway after getting home from work, I noticed the wooden box my husband had built for Flossie to be placed in. My heart shattered but the box is perfect and she will be safe there. He has also dug the hole for her but I don't want to know where it is just yet. I have picked out two brand new baby flannel receiving blankets to wrap her in. As I stated earlier, my sister will be taking her but she will be just as comfortable with her as she would with me. I can not bear the thought of taking her. This is just a personal preference of mine.
Today Flossie is in the worse shape ever. She still can't use the bathroom and refuses to eat. She is just lying there lifeless and confused. I have spent some time with her this afternoon and might even be up all night. THIS IS REALLY HARD!

Muffie's Mom · 03-06-2006, 03:07 PM

Just remember the good memories and keep her alive in her heart with all those wonderful memories.

God bless you.

Patti · 03-06-2006, 03:07 PM

My heart goes out to you and Flosssie. This is one of the hardest decisions you have to make for a beloved family member. I am so glad you can spend her last hours together.
