| Bless your heart...I was in your position last year with my 14 year old yorkie..It broke my heart...but I knew I was doing the right thing for her..you will feel some guilt..I know I did...but you will also feel relief..she will be sleeping and be in no more pain or discomfort. I got my Pixie 4 months later and she brought the sunshine back into my life again...Heidi will alway be special to me as she was my first yorkie and I was still a teenager when I got her (i'm now in my 30's) maybe in time you will be ready and able to love and care for another...we will all be here for you...we UNDERSTAND!!! Most of us have been there at some point...please feel free to PM me anytime...warm regards & big hugs to you right now. Kerry.

| I'm so sorry you have to make this decision Quote:
My prayers with be with you, and Mackenzie! ((Hugs)) Diana The Greatest Gift I always knew this time would come, From the very instant our eyes first met. How I loved you then! How I love you now! I made a promise then, and I keep that promise now... You will not suffer from a pain that will not heal; You will not know the loss of a life remembered, now gone. It is for me alone to make this decision, The price for the bright joy and pure laughter You brought me during the time we shared. I am the only one who can decide when it is time. When my hope dies, and my fears ride high, Just when I need you most, I must let you go. It is for you alone to tell me when you are ready For without your guidance, I will not know When to lay my grief, my guilt, my anger, My sorrow and my selfish heart aside And give you this last gift, this greatest gift. Your eyes will speak to mine, and I will know. The pain of this moment is excruciating. Tears stream down my face in a river of sorrow. And my heart drowns in a pool of grief. For you have spoken and I have listened, And unlike other decisions I have made This one brings no relief...no comfort...no peace. For if there's one thing you've taught me, If there's only one thing I've learned... Unconditional love has a condition after all, I must be willing to let you go, when you speak to me I must be willing to help you go, if you cannot go alone. And I must accept my pain so you can be free of yours. Go easily now, go quickly now, Do not linger here, it is time for you to leave. Go find your strength, go find your youth. Go find the ones who've gone before you. You are free to leave me now, free to let your spirit soar Rest easy now, your pain will soon be gone. I pray I will find comfort in my memories... In the dark and lonely days ahead, I cannot say I will not miss you, I cannot say I will not cry. For only my tears can heal my broken heart. But, I promise you this: as long as I live, You will live, alive in my mind, forever in my heart. So I give you this last gift, all I have left to give, And this will be my greatest gift...sending you away. It is the measure of my unconditional love... For only the greatest love can say, "Good-bye, go find the bridge, we'll meet again, Loving you has been the greatest gift of all." Author: Karla Bertram Written for "Tiara" (a Standard Poodle) in 1994 and for "Topaz", a wonderful cat who died in 1996

| thank you for all of your sweet messages. the poem was beautiful and very fitting. i just put mackenzie down this morning, it was heart wrenching but i know that i did the right thing. it's one of the most difficult things i've ever gone through so i'm going to take the rest of the summer to recover. thank you again for your words and advice, without them i probably would not have made the decision i made and mackenzie would have continued to suffer. |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | I know you are heartbroken. The most loving decision is also the most difficult. When we accept the love and companisonship of a pet...it also means..mostly likely we have to accept the eventual heartbreak too. Mackenzie knows she was loved very much. Take care ~

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I really wish they could live longer but that said you had your baby for a long time in dogs years. I'm sure you'll miss her dearly.

| Perhaps when you are able to do it, you could make a scrapbook for all of your wonderful memories - if you haven't done so already. I'm really sorry for what you're feeling. I went through it with Muffin three years ago. Oh! I still cry!
