Not a yorkie, but I know yoy guys will understand
 

After i got back from my last visit home a few months ago I wrote this

"My mom and dad have two german shepherds (i grew up with them). The older one (the mom) is just shy of 9. My parents told me she was getting really old and may have to be put down soon. I didn't realize how bad and old she was. She has good to fair hips, but has been suffering for over a year. Pretty much the vet said there is not options. I saw my mom had throw rugs all over and realized why (they have wood floors), Lucie (the dog) slips all over the place and pretty much drags her back two feet. She even walks on the top of her paw or get the two back legs tangled up and cant move or falls over. You have to help her down the step to go outside and go potty or she will fall. I was just in shock and disbelief, mom pretty much informed us they waited to put her down so we could see her one last time.


IT's been pretty hard to deal with it, I always thought it would get easier as I got older. But my/my parents dog was put to sleep on Monday September 17, it was just too terribly hard to watch her in that much pain. I cried everyday that last time I was home. My mom said the last couple days they just brought her food to her bed she was so tired and sore.

So rest in heaven our little Lucie, give kisses to your hubby Rommel and big brothers Mick and Gretel.

Ok just writing that made me cry, its gonna be rough when I go home at Christmas time. So please send your thoughts and prayers to my family (which includes a 13 yr old girl who will be very upset).

I am so sorry for your loss..I still vividly remember when our only family dog was put to sleep after a stroke he had..he was born on my 7th birthday and died when I was 17...we still talk about him and I am now 35..my parents still keep a picture of Duffy on the mantel..its terribly sad and I will pray for your family..

I'm so sorry for your loss. It is very difficult to forget the family dog. That is what gives you the ability to love other dogs. I still remember my family dog that died over 30 yrs ago.

It is so nice that your family had Lucie for as long as they did and I'm sure she was one lucky girl.

RIP Lucie
:roses: :wavecry:

Prayers going out to you and your family.

So sorry for your loss. Whether it's a yorkie or not, we love them and it hurts.

Hugs.

i'm soo sorry for your loss:(

OH, I so feel for your family. Bless you through this terrible time... my family lost our 15 year old Boston Terrier a couple months ago... it was hard but we knew it was best for my TBone to rest.... he still watches over us, from the mantle over the fireplace and is a wonderful memory to my family...

Thank you for sharing and I am sure Lucie is playing in heaven with her friends, my Sophie and no longer is in pain. Warmly, Deborah

Your parent\'s dog was beautiful. I always called the German Shepard
the gentle giant because they are so large and so gentle.
I have to admit they are my favoite breed.
I am so sorry for their loss and yours as well. I know what it is to
lose a pet. I am sure your left with many wonderful memories of the
two of you growing up together.

It\'s so hard to make that decision. The last time i had to make that decision was with my husbands lab/golden mix. He was 13 and is kidney\'s ended up failing him, he stopped eating, we had to carry up and down the stairs and he ended up drinking so much water so fast he inhaled it into his lungs and had pneumonia. We all cried for days and I still cry when I sit and think about him and that was two years ago june. It\'s so difficult but it does get easier.

What a beautiful lady she was. I\'m so sorry that your family had to make this decision. You are all in my prayers. Rest in Peace, Lucie.

im sorry for ur loss of lucie but im sure the memorie\'s are the thing you\'ll treasure they will never leave you lucie will never stop being part of ur family
she will alway\'s be in ur heart\'s :animal-pa porscha:cry:

I am so sorry for your loss. German Shepherds are so special.

Blessings,

Prayers are heading your way for all your love ones

I am so sorry for your loss. It is so hard to lose a loved one. Fur or no fur. Keep your chin up, things will get better and you will see her again someday. She was very beautiful.
