I am soo sorry for your loss. It's never easy. I have four dogs.. they are my babies. HUgz.. TC-

Lisa, I know your pain. I had to put my dog down last November and the guilt is awful. But deep down I think they know and understand why we have to do this. Josie was in so much pain that she was ready to go to sleep. She also knew how much you loved her for 13 years. It will take a while for you to get over your pain and guilt, but you will never forget the love Josie had for you. Yes she is in a better place and who knows....you might see her again some day on the other side of the "rainbow bridge". www.rainbowsbridge.com/Poem.htm

She was the best girl I have ever known, she was loyal and trusting,she was my friend.. she had struggloed with cancer for over 2 years and we thought it was all over with.. she was having pains in her right shoulder blade..she wouldn't use it or put any kind of pressure on it.Her Dr,thought at first she had athritis and perscribed dermaxx antiinflammatory pills ..but it didn't help.. she was in severe pain..you could see it in her eyes.. so I called her Dr again yesterday and said.. she still isn't feeling well..he said he'll recheck her x-rays and thought maybe she had a bone-spur..so I was to bring her in today for a recheck... at first they didn't see anything, but then after more examining they found a tumor the size of a large apple under the pit of her arm.. the cancer was back..and because of the severity and size if they operated she would have possibly died on the table. I feel so horrible..Josie had no clue when she left this morning that she would never return.. I even waited to feed her, (her only moment of comfort is when she was eating..) Oh god I feel so horrible.. They recommended just going ahead and putting her down, keeping her alive is just torturing her longer..and drugging her up isn't doing anything for her quality of life..she was in pain..I understand that.. It was time.. she was a good ole' girl.. and I argued until I lost.. the vet was right.. where the tumor was , it was between so many bloodvessels and muscle tissue.. operating would cost thouasands of dollars.. and her chance for surviving the operation was less than 10% and she would still be required to be on meds for the rest of her life.. I question my decision now.. To late to do anything..Feeling guilty she had to go out like this..feeling guilty I didn't even give her a last meal.. Josie girl..You are the best damn dog anyone can ever have,..I hope your in a better place feeling a lot better than you were here! Josie Oct 1,1991-Oct 21,2004 1/2 hound dog 1/2 bull dog 100% loved
