I said goodbye today...

[arabianequine]

Sorry for your loss hugs.....glad you had it done at home, the right way!

Thanks for all of your kind words. I knew y'all would understand...

to each and every one of you.

I promised myself I wouldn't cry tonight at work, but I already blew it.

Anyhow, thanks again for understanding, I needed that.

Tomorrow morning will be the first time I crawl into bed without a kitty to snuggle with *sigh* I bet I'll cry like a baby, then, too. But at least I can come to BYC for support... And I still have her little (100#) brother, Diesel. Although, even he is acting a bit depressed. I think he misses her, too. He was there when the vet put her down, so he knows she's gone. Animals- they just know....

***On a side note, as I was lying under the tree with her, sun shining, birds singing, waiting on the vet, I began to second guess if this was the right thing to do. About that same time, she sat up, dry heaved, and swallowed hard four or five times. I really believe she knew I was having second thoughts, and it was her way of telling me that I was doing the right thing ***

I'm so sorry for your loss... I'm sure you gave her such a wonderful eighteen years, and a peaceful passing. I just had to make this decision for my sixteen-year-old cat (I had had her since I was six years old) on July 23rd, so I know very keenly the loss you're going through right now.

Let yourself cry as much as you need to, and take time to remember your sweet kitty. It's always hard to lose a beloved family member, no matter what species they are.

Im so sorry so so sorry. I too had my dog on my lap when he was put down-in my van-so he would not freak at the smells of the clinic-he hated the smell! He was wrapped in my comforter right off of my bed with all his favortie toys surrounding him. I second guessed my self right to the very last second. Even my DH sobbed for days with me as this lab was our lives before we had children-we made the right decision as did you and you got alot of happy precious memories to boot-you did good momma-you did good!

I shed tears for you and your beautiful cat also. Saying goodby to that unconditional love is always hard, but you gave your kitty the best life and the best death she could have had. I've had to have pets put down and it's always hard, even when it's a rescue kitten I only had for a day and a half. Your grief is understandable and honors your pet.

You can tell she was SUCH a personality. I'm sorry that she's gone but you gave her an amazing last gift, just as she's given you many over the years.
