Today is Wednesday and I have returned from giving up my Shady Girl, she was quite weak this morning so I knew I had to go through with it. Driving over to Kathy's I let her ride in her favorite spot, front passenger seat as my wing girl. We talked as I drove and wiggled my fingers through her thick fur neck fur, she gazed at me and I feel she was letting me know everything was going to be ok. Going in the staff was so sympatic, their was a man in the waiting area and poor thing he probably felt he needed to join in the hugging of the red eyed woman with the skrawny black pooch. The vet tech took us in and took Shady to get her stint put in so they would not have to pock around looking for a vein. When she returned I sat with her and we had a good talk, I made her promise to visit me in my dreams. Once we got her comfortable on the table it went very fast, first the sedative then the other. I buried my face in her thick neck fur for the last time and said goodbye. Kathy and I had a good cry and I know I left her in good hands. I haven't decided on the cremation yet, but I will get that done today. Tonight will be very hard, I hate the thought of her not being there when I get home. I miss her already. At least I have the picture that is posted to remind me I recieved the best love possible from my Shady Lady Girl.

Oh Tes you made me cry. I am so sorry.
I'm so sorry for your loss. WE just went through this same thing, except our babydoll passed at home naturally. It was just 2 weeks ago. I am still trying to get through it. I still feel the need to check on her, and once in awhile think, "oh my gosh, I didn't feed brooke today" It is weird not having her here with us after all those years. We buried her in a very pretty spot in our yard and are making a nice flower garden to honor and remember her. I have her pictures everywhere and it is nice, but I really miss cuddling with her and giving her kisses, and hugging her, and talking to her, and everything about her. Gosh, I haven't cried in a couple of days, but now I'm having a really good cry.
My thoughts are with you and your family.
I'm so sorry - your post made me cry too. I have not had to experience that yet - and we haven't even had our cat that long, but when something happens I know we'll all be devastated. I'm thinking of you and your family.
I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved pet. It is so hard when they go.

Oh boy...I can't imagine giving up my puppy some day...she is my best and most loyal girlfriend...so I can't even imagine your heartache...
Losing a pet is so hard. I had to euthanize my beautiful Schnauzer, Peggy Sue, and it nearly broke my heart. Even though it was some years ago, I still love and miss her.
I am so very sorry for your loss.
God Bless,

So sorry about your loss. It is never an easy decision to make.

So sorry for your loss. It's so hard to let go of a pet you love so much. We had to euthanize our 18yr old kitty this year. We all still miss her terribly.
