lost my Beau We had to have our lab mix put down on Tuesday. He had hip dysplasia and was losing strength in his legs. He was also losing control to go to the bathroom. I feel so guilty for making the decision. I wish God would have taken him in his sleep and I didn't have to be the one to decide. I have been trying to remember the good and funny things but all I keep going back to was that last day. How do you get over the hurt? |
You need time. Only time can heal your broken heart. I had two put down. One GS 17yrs with pretty much the same thing and a terrier from just old age 16yrs. I only hope when the time comes that Buddy goes in his sleep. Your right it is so very difficult but remember you ended his suffering. He loves you for that. Remember all the years of fun. I am sure your mind is loaded with wonderful memories. Live in those for now. It will get better. |
Aww - I know your hurt very well and I am very close to that right now too. It is just terrible as you remember them looking at you as you are driving to the vet. Go through pictures and see how happy the dog was and what a great parent you are and you will forget about that horrible day. I am sending you warm thoughts and prayers. |
I am so sorry for your loss. The pain will always be with you but it will lesson with time. Cherish the good memories you had. Your baby is not suffering and you did the right thing. |
I'm so sorry for your loss. We had to put our lab/shepard mix down a few years ago and I still miss him.. It does get easier as time goes by.... |
I am so sorry for your loss. Sending warm healing wishes your way. |
I am so very sorry for your loss. We had to do the same with our cat who was going on 18 years old. It is going to take some time to grieve and everyone grieves differently, but I can promise you that with time .... you will begin to remember him with less and less pain and that pain will be replaced with a smile in your heart. He is not gone .... he is just in a different place. :rainbow: Hugs to you...... :heart to |
Thank you for the kind words. I like the thought that he's just in a different place. It physically hurts when I think about him being gone. |
I had to help my beloved Sophie cross the bridge last year, she was 13. The vet told me we always wish for them to just go to sleep, but it usually doesn't happen. Actually, helping them allows us to hold them, talk with them as they cross over, instead of passing by themselves. That would make me very sad. The guilt? It is always there because we think we should have done something more, or if they had, etc. Take care and bless you for helping your beloved Beau. Warmly, Deborah |
So very sorry for you loss. Healing prayers and wishes.:rainbow: |
I'm so sorry for your loss,, I know what a tough decision you've had RIP Beau:animal-pa |
That is so sad! Unfortunatly, I am going to have to make that decision with my gs X sooner then i would like :( :( :( |
:( :( |
Making the decision to let our pets go is never an easy one. I had to make that decision last November for our mixed cocker spaniel breed. I'm sure it was best for your Beau as it was for our Alphie. Hugs to you and may Beau RIP |
I'm so sorry for your loss. That decision is such a hard one - filled with "what if's" and "maybe's). But he is in a warm, safe place now, and free of pain. Always remember that. Sleep peacefully, faithful Beau. |
Last night my two adult daughters, who I live with, had a long talk about Beau. I have to realize that wishing I had put it off for a few more days was for me and not for his quality of life. It would have been just as hard. Last night I was supposed to take Pippin for his first obedience classes and I had to cancel because I couldn't pull myself together. This morning I feel a little better but that was the way yesterday started out. I will be going along fine and it will hit me and I go to pieces. Beau was a good, loving dog and I will miss him in my life. Thank you for your prayers. |
Saturday we planted a crepe myrtle, in the front yard, in memory of Beau. When he was a puppy I had landscaped my back yard. When I came home from work the next day the crepe myrtle I had planted had been chewed up and there was just a two foot stick left in the ground. Planting the tree didn't erase the pain, but it brought comfort knowing he would never be forgotten. |
I am so sorry for your loss. |
i am so sorry for you loss...my heart goes out to you and your family in this time of need. |
It was a week yesterday and some days are better than others. I left work yesterday and on the way home it hit me that Beau wouldn't be there when I walked in the door. He slept in my bed (took up most of it) and I still wake up in the night and look over to see if he's there in hopes I just dreamed that he was gone. I know it will take time to ease the pain. |
