| 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 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. Hugs to you...... |

| 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

Living My Yorkie Dream Donating Member | 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.
