Amber, I'm so sorry. You are so good to take care of him for your Momma. Taking him to the vet after he passed had to be a hard thing to do. Share your grief with your mother. Mom's are strong, we can handle it. You loved him together, feel free to mourn him together. Prayers of comfort and strength for you and your family. :aimeeyork Hugs.

So sorry for your loss!! When I had to put down my s**tztu after 17 years I had my brother do it cause i couldn't handle it so i understand and you and your mom are in my prayers and thoughts!!!They do become a big part of a family after all that time and you take the time you need to grieve....Hugs and Kisses!! But know that he is on Rainbow Bridge having a ball with all his new pals!!! :)

Warmest thoughts headed your way ... I know how horrible this is. And God bless the little guy for sparing you the alternative.

So, so very sorry to see you go through this and it's extra tough for you because you need to support your mom.:( Hang in there, though. Everyone here will be pulling for you!:)

so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry you both had to go through that. It is heart-breaking. At least your Mom had you to count on. Prayers and ((hugs)) to both of you.

Amber, I am so sorry! I can tell he was greatly loved. Hugs to you!

I am so sorry for your loss. It is never easy when they cross the rainbow bridge. Hugs to you and your mom!!

Oh Amber I am so sorry for your loss. I know it must be hard

I am so sorry to hear about your Mom's schnauzer. This is unfortunately the price we pay in heartbreak for having such loving companions.

Hi Amber,
I admire you so much for being so brave in the face of such sadness. How horrible to loose a family pet. How I wish we could skip the grieving part and go straight to the happy memories. You are in my thoughts.

Oh Amber I am so, so sorry about the loss of your mom's Schnauzer :( I know how you all feel as I have been there before with my Cocker Spaniel that we lost last year. She was also almost nearly blind, was completely deaf, had arthritis, and Cancer as well...which is what ended up taking her precious life in the end. Broke my heart into a million and one pieces.

:cry:

And girl, I know this may be really hard to hear now, but just think - in the end you guys didn't have to make the hard and painful decision to put him to sleep. Maybe God just didn't want you to have to make the decision to say "yes" - so he just decided that it was time to call him home :cry: Sometimes things like this just happen for a reason, maybe because it's easier on us in the end without us even knowing it? Not that I am by ANY means glad that my baby is gone (Cocker Spaniel) but I tell you, even though I might have known that it would be best for her, having to give my permission - having to say "yes" to put her to sleep would have just KILLED ME. I honestly started shaking and burst into tears when our vet told me that it may come down to me having to make that painful decision. I told him that I just honestly didn't know if I could make a decision like that. To me, it would almost seem as though I was just giving up on her :cry: Even though I know in my heart that-that wouldn't be the case. But I'm sure you understand what I am saying. And again, not that I am glad that she is gone because I would give ANYTHING in the WORLD to still have her here with us - but God called her home in his own time at the beginning of last year. I am just personally SO very thankful that I never have to make "the decision" - because I truly don't know that I could handle being put in a situation like that.

Anyway, I just wanted to write and say that I share both you and your mothers pain as I have been there and completely know how it feels. God Bless you both, and the sweet little boy that you guys lost as well. I am thinking about you guys :cry:

Ohh Amber, I'm so deeply sorry. Please give your mom my condolences.
Sending prayers and hugs your way.

Im so so sorry. I know how hard it is, we have lost a few over the years and We still hurt. Take care hun.

I know it must have been hard on you...........I'm so sorry! I think most of us have had to share a similar experience. Breaks the heart into pieces! I'm so so sorry!:(
