I hope I didn't make her cry more - I love it too....but I just cannot read it without crying ...

I am sure it brought tears to her eyes...it did mine, but it is so true!

Im so sorry for your loss. RIP little Angel. You are in our thoughts and prayers. :hug:

Oh NO, this is so sad! I'm sorry for your loss. Please don't be too hard on yourself, you did what was best and caused less suffering for this little pup.

You are in my thoughts.

So sorry for your loss....

So sorry for your loss of your little boy.

I am so sorry, it hurts so much to lose one. I'm sure your Vet x-rayed for any obstruction. My chipper, he's an 'ol man now, has a shrinking (shrunk) trachea and has to use an Inhaler twice a day or he gags for air and gags his food. With the Inhaler and harness instead of collar when on a lease, - he's back to normal. But the Vet barely caught it as he was x-raying his lungs ... and he showed the other Vets, so maybe not all of them look for that. I understand it is not uncommon for small dogs. It's just a thought, and your baby is so very tiny. I guess sometimes it just isn't meant to be.

hold him, love him, speak to him gently, continue to feed him and pray...NEVER give up hope...............Never

I made the toughest decision of my life and put him to sleep - he was suffering so bad - and he deserved better. A week and a half fight with this and it ended like this. I haven't stopped crying for 8 hours now. I hope he can forgive me. He was a fighter til the end and he will never be forgotten. Hope Brooklyn understands.


Katie, I can't say I know exactly how you are feeling but I can tell you that I know how I felt when my heart had to die.. He was 3 years and we tried everything; even giving him up to home where he would be the only pet, in case he was stressed about being one of several. There is no limit that we will not go to or sacrifices we will not make to help these babies. You did all that YOU could do..Nature knows what it is doing and sometimes nature's plan is opposite of ours but we lose..So, please do not blame yourself in any way. The decision to allow our babies to be set free of their pain and agony is one of the most unselfish and loving decisions a human can make.
There is a syndrome called Failing Puppy Syndrome and it can occur at a very young age.. Sometimes we save these babies only to have to make that oh,so hard decision, a bit later.
So, remember, you did all you could and we are praying that your broken heart starts to heal..Bless you

I am so sorry about your loss. It brought tears to my eyes. I found out Lacey had kidney failure while I was at work. I called my mom at the vets to check on her. Right at work, in front of customers and co-workers, I started bawling and had to excuse myself. We had to take her every other day for fluid shots just to keep her alive. Then, right around my birthday, (June 25th) she took a turn for the worse. She would not eat at all. NOTHING. Not even her favorite boiled chicken. She was down to 2 pounds. Skin and bones. We could not even get her to drink water. And yucky yellow fluid starting coming out her mouth. She was so weak she could barely get out of her bed. Except on the last day, she wanted to be in my mom's lap. On June 30th, we knew nothing more could be done, and did not want her to suffer any longer. So my mom put her to sleep. I was at work that day, so never got to say my last goodbyes. There is no way I could bring myself to be there at the vets. Way too painful. I cried and cried. It is almost 4 months later and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of Lacey. I still cry. I am presently looking for another Yorkie puppy right now, but not having much luck. No puppy will ever replace my Lacey. I had her for just over 13 years. But, I still have a lot of love to give to another. Again, I am so sorry. You can PM me if you ever need to talk.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so very, very, sorry for your loss. You did what was best for your little one.

Letting go is so very hard, and it takes REAL courage and compassion.

May you find the comfort and peace you deserve. Your little one is already at peace because of your love.
