Today Is A Very Sad Day For Us

[AprilLove]

So very sorry for your mom and for you. My sister has a mini-schnauzer and they are wonderful and intelligient little dogs! I can only imagine how hard it was for you. Please accept my condolences and we are sending sweet puppy kisses and hugs for you all. RIP Baby

Amber, I'm so saddened by this news. It is so hard to let them go even when we know it is their time. Give your Mom a hug for me and let her know she (and you) are in my prayers.

I am so very sorry you had to go through this. I lost my 14 year old schnauzer last summer. We had him cremated and his ashes are on my mantel. I smile every time I look at them, it brings me great comfort!

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 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 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

Thanks you so much you really made me feel better! I know it was a relief in a way not to have to make that choice

Oh Amber...I'm so so sorry about your moms dog...I know it's only words and doesn't take away that totally raw empty feeling inside but I really am sorry...

it sounds like he was extra special and I have to agree...maybe he knew it was his 'time' and wanted to save you all the pain....

hugs Amber and one for your mom....

I'm sorry to hear of your and your mom's loss. Sounds like you had a very special dog in your family, and I can't imagine what you must be going through. Just trust that it (sorry...didn't catch if it was a he or a she) was given the best life possible, and try to remember the great times you shared. Prayers to you and your family.
