Can't stop crying
 

I had to put my Shellsea to rest last night. She was 15 yrs old and wasn't doing good. I cried all night and all day today. I just found out that I could've been with her while they put her to rest. I wasn't given that option I've never had to do this before so I didn't know what to expect.

So now I feel even worse knowing I could have held her until she fell asleep:(

I'm so upset and can't stop crying. All the vet told me was I'll give you sometime with her. We kissed and hugged her then said goodbye the vet came back and took her away. I broke down while they were taking her and then we left.

Why wasn't I told I could stay with her:(:(:(

I am so very sorry for your loss. I had to put my "son" to rest this past year. My vet had experienced me with my babies and had no problem with me being with him when he passed. My prayers are with you, you will always be touched by the joy your baby gave you.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

So sorry you are going through this. My thoughts are with you at this difficult
time.:cry:

I am so sorry.:( Please don't torture yourself with what ifs. After 15 years, she passed knowing she was an extremely well loved girl.

I am so sorry. That is a fear that I have. My precious Sasha, my peek-a-poo, is 14 years old and I can tell she's not in the best of shape any more. My prayer is that when it comes her time that she will go in her sleep. Bless your heart. I can only imagine how you must feel, for I too, would want to be with Sasha if I ever have to make that decision. God bless you and I pray He gives you peace as only He can.

Thanks everyone. I just can't stop thinking I should've stayed with her. I was so upset at the time that I couldn't even think straight and like I said I've never had to go through this before.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have stayed with my ones that have passed, but my sister and many other people find it hard to do and woudl rather that not be their last memory. So while the vet should have given you the option, know your baby knew how much she was loved.

Honestly, Sometimes vets dont want you to go in, because SOMETIMES it isnt as quick and snappy as it is said to be.


Sorry for your loss.

Well put, Nikki.

I'm very sorry.

I am so sorry....Sending you a hug...

I am so sorry for your loss. I know it is hard to think straight when you are off to the vet for that final visit :( -- Your vet may not be as open to owners staying, or he knows how painful it is for so many people. He gave you time to say good-bye - hold onto that time. Please don't dwell on not being there in her last moment - rather hold onto all the wonderful moments you have shared with her in the last 15 years. I can tell you loved her very much, and I am sure she knew how much love you had for her.

So sorry for your loss. :( Try not to torment yourself about not being there when they did it. It isn't your fault the vet didn't give you the option. What matters is all the time you spent loving her for those 15 years you had together.

I'm so sorry that your vet let you down by not telling you that you could stay!! Don't beat yourself up about not being [resent, It was your Vet whose responsible for asking that ??! Your little girl knew that you were there and how much you love her for the past 15 years!! I know how much it hurts to lose our little ones!! Keep the memories close in your heart in the days to come they will help to heal your heart!! I was a Vet Tech and that was a #1 priority to ask the family if they would like to be present!! She is now in a place without pain and will see you again someday!! Please know that you're in my Thoughts and Prayers, Blessings to you and your family, :hands::love-hug3:rip::angelyork:lovewings

I'm so sorry for your loss of Shellsea. Sending you hugs and heartfelt sympthy. I feel so bad for you.

Sometimes folks are so busy,they just dont think! It certainly is not fair. My heart is sad for you but thankfully you had 15 wonderful years with Bebe! You are a generous mom and I know she is waiting for you woith no pain.RIP sweet girl!:aimeeyork

I am so sorry,I meant to say Sheelsea,not Bebe!Please forgive me.

:sad: to hear that you had to lay your Sheelsea to rest. It's hard saying good bye to our little friends. 15 years is a lot of sweet memories that are to be cherished. Our two yorkie boys were laid to rest a week apart Jan 08 and I think of them all the time and the precious memories made in the short 1 1/2 years we had together after adopting them.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful Shellsea. Maybe the picture of all the beautiful times you had together is better than the sad thought of your baby leaving you. Pets live in the moment, and her moments of love and kindness with you are those she took with her. RIP Sweet Shellsea

:( Im very very sorry for your loss , praying for you :hands:

I am so terribly sorry. God bless and comfort you.

I am so sorry for your loss

I'm so sorry for your loss:( I pray that the memories of your precious Shellsea and the love you shared will bring you comfort.

Thank You so much for all the love and warm wishes. This is by far the hardest thing I've ever experienced. The pain is unbearable - She was so very loved.

My mom says my first words were "please buy me puppy mommy" :p
She didn't like animals so I never got my puppy. I like to believe that My Shells found me. I work at a school and we always have dogs follow the kids on to the playground. I clearly remember that day, a student came running into office screaming "there's a dog chasing the kids on the playground" Oh no! I thought, the last time this happened it was a pitbull. I went to the playground and saw the most beautiful dog I've ever seen she was running around playing with the kids.

I called her over and I went down to see if she had tags. Before I knew it I was on the floor, she had come running and knocked me over. She was so hyper and silly she kept kissing me:D. The kids were yelling "she likes you she likes you" I loved her the first day I saw her:D:D:D

I brought her with me to the office and everyone thought she was so beautiful. She didn't have any tags so I told everyone that if no one claimed her I would like to keep her. I didn't call my husband because I was sure he would say no. We lived in 3 plex and shared front and backyard that wasn't fenced in. I really wasn't thinking about any of that I just knew I had to keep her. I brought her home with me that same day and begged my husband for hours. He kept saying "no take her back we don't have any place where to keep her what were you thinking" (my husband wasn't much of an animal lover). I started crying and said "please I'll figure it out" My daughters also started crying they were 9, 7 and 1 year old. He looked at us and said "Fine but don't expect me to clean up after her"
We started screaming and jumping up and down Shellsea also joined in on celebration by running around and barking. She knew she was home:D

That was 15 years ago and she's been with us ever since.

My beautiful Shells,
Thank You for all the love, joy and happiness you brought us. You always knew when I needed kisses and love. You were my comfort through some very rough times and always dried my tears with your kisses. We will miss you so and will forever love you. Thank you for finding me. Rest my beautiful Shells rest.

My beautiful Shells - I love you so

My beautiful Shells - I love you so

Thank You for sharing. I needed to know I wasn't only one who wasn't there . That has been eating me up inside:(

Thank You for reminding me. Yes, the most important thing is that she did know she was loved very very very much. She had not given us kisses for awhile but on our way to vet she kept kissing my daughter and I . She just seemed so peaceful and I understood she was telling me it was ok to let go.

It's ok I knew you meant Shells. Thank you for warm wishes:p

Thank You for your comforting words:p

I am so sorry for your loss. I have no idea why the vet didn't let you stay with your baby.
