Just a beauty. She is now running in the meadows, pain free. One day, you will be together again.

Peace and Love to you.

Rip little one.
I hope your healing has begun.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Time will heal your broken heart but in
the meantime you have all those wonderful memories of you and Heidi.
It sounds like the two of you had a wonderful life together. Heidi is now
free of pain and having a wonderful time playing with all her new friends
at "Rainbow Bridge".

Yes, you are in very good company here with all kinds of people who understand. You were faced with the most unfair of decisions, something so many of us have had to do and know only too well how difficult it is.

Really do feel your pain and feel so badly for you and your family. But the happy part is that your girl is free of her suffering. You must NEVER feel badly about that.

Prayers for you and your family that you may find comfort in the joy that Heidi brought to your life and that in time your heart will heal.

Thanks so much everyone, you have all been wonderful, i'm pretty sure if i hadn't had this site to express my thoughts and feelings that it would have been even harder to get over. (and i AM feeling so much better!) I have questioned whether i put her to sleep too soon so many times and have tortured myself with this...if i had tried the Diuretics the vet offered me would she still be with me now? it was such a tough decision to make, she wasn't in pain, just so very tired. It was the hardest decision ive ever had to make in my life so far.

You made the right decision. So many times we want them around to comfort us so we do not have to suffer their loss. It sounds like you loved her so very much and I am so sorry for your loss. I hope that when the time comes I can make an unselfish decision as you did. She is happy and healthy and waiting for you to join her someday. As the days pass may they bring you more wonderful and happy memories you shared together.

Blessings!

Kezza,
I join you in that terrible decision of PTS. For me I wish I would have came here 1st and read up a little on euthanasia. I needed to know what it was all about and how to prepair myself for the end result. It may have been extremely fast for our little babies, but the end result for us was extreme mental anquish.

I haven't seen any sticky here for a thread about "euthanasia and what to expect" (how to really know if its the right time). And maybe a thread about "what to do after your loss" (what to do with the left over toys, food bowls, beds, getting another yorkie, getting use to no noise when the doorbell rings, lonelyness, ect)

Keeza there is just something about yorkies and how they get right into our souls. Very hard to loose part of your soul. No other pet has ever made me feel this way. They say Yorkies have hair like humans and dont shed like other dogs. I considered Cody as one of my kids.

Get better Keeza. Soon we will have to help others with their losses, as so many here have helped us.

My prayers are with you.

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers will be with you during your mourning period and please remember that God can take a horrible experience and turn it into a gift. The gift? - I know that one day when we face the same difficult decision that you had to make, you'll be here waiting to lift us up in our grief, because you have been there. And that's worth more than all the money in the world! I can't stop crying....

I am so very very sorry for your loss.

Hi Dave,

Thanks so much for the words of comfort it means an awful lot to me..i'm still amazed at the compassion of total strangers on here! this place has been like a lifeline to me when other people have just expected me to get over it already...:(

The PTS experience for me was tough obviously..but it was handled very well by our vet..she closed the blinds in the room, handed us tissues and gave us as much time as we needed with Heidi.
She took her out of the room for just a minute to give her a sedative...i still wonder why she did this...perhaps she thought in my state that i couldn't cope with it? when she brought her back to me she was almost asleep and very peaceful...after that it all happened so quick and she slipped away with her little head resting in my hand...she just went to sleep.
Because it was first thing in the morning there were no other people in the vets apart from us, the vet and a nurse.
Unfortunatley because we are in military accommodation i couldn't take my babies body away with me..something i'm still finding hard to come to terms with...but again my vet was so caring...the last thing she said to me was "Don't worry we'll take good care of her".

I'm in tears again now! but i know i'm going to be fine...especially when i have my YT friends to turn to x

I am so sorry for your loss. May your little angel rest in peace.

I am so sorry for the pain and heartache you are going thru. Having to decide to pts a cherished family member is such a hard decision and always leaves us with the "what-if's". I am still what-iffing myself after many years of making that decision (more than once). Your heart told you it was time and it sounds like Heidi told you it was time, too. Use the 14 years of wonderful memories you have to give you strength to get thru and in time you will be able to smile when you think about you beautiful Heidi. She will always keep her little spirit close to you. Remember, she is in good hands now, is pain free and can run in the flower filled fields with all the other little furbabies that have crossed the bridge while she waits to see you again. Rest peacefully sweet baby girl.

Thanks so much Roxyjosmum,

I am in the process of getting a new baby and i'm so excited! and my mood has lifted so much for the first time in weeks but i'm having pangs of guilt everytime i think of Heidi..i almost feel like im betraying her! I know how silly it sounds.but i feel guilty for being happy! I'm not trying to replace her in anyway..thats impossible, but i hope i have the same bond with this new baby as i did with her.
I'm so grateful for this continued support from all you wonderful YT'ers. x
