Some really strong thoughts needed - for Heidi, PLEASE (final update, page 2)

 Oh, Erica I'm so sorry!! Poor Heidi, but at least she is free of all the pain she was going through now, and able to romp and play like a normal dog should!! You definately did the right thing for that poor little girl.

Oh my, that was fast! Well I guess the less time for her to suffer the better. Poor girl, I cant imagine having to see my dogs like that and I admire your strength and quick decision to put her at ease.

 Oh Erica!  I'm so sorry for your loss!  Run free Heidi!

((((((((((hugs)))))))))) I'm so sorry. 

Poor little girl.  Run free of pain little pup.  Erica did all she could for you. 

Poor darling. It's so hard to watch them hurting. For what it's worth, I think you did the right thing.  

oh no! poor heidi!!

i think you did the right thing! {{{HUGS}}}

I'm so sorry to hear about sweet Heidi.  My heart goes out to you for what you've been through; I can't imagine how awful it was to see her like that, and even if her suffering is over, I'm sure it was still a horrible decision to have to make.  I'm so very sorry.

Run free, Heidi.  You will be strong and happy at the Bridge.

Thanks everyone!

This has probably been one of the hardest days yet. She wasn't even my puppy - but I felt such a connection to her. She was the sweetest thing, but she would never be normal, and that just wasn't fair to a puppy. I really wish things could have worked out differently....but I couldn't watch her suffer like she was anymore. The siezures were so bad, and it was taking so many drugs to bring her back down - she wasn't even there anymore.

I miss her so much. We all cried like babies when we did it. I was so hard, but at the same time - it really felt right. And it was some what comforting to see her laying there, with a calm, peacful look on her face - a look that I hadn't seen in a long time.

Goodbye, little Heidi.  

I should have come back last night to post and just couldn't.  I think I took this almost as hard as Erica and shoot I hadn't even 'met' her. 

It's just so hard when it's such a wee one -- when seizures manifest so very very young and it's likely genetic in nature, there just isn't much chance of normalcy at all, nor even something that can be 'coped' with.  but that doesn't make it easier after you've held them in your arms and 'helped'. 

Heidi -- by now your brother has brought you 'up to speed' on all the stuff up there at the Bridge.  I'd just love to know what the puppy games are and just exactly how much you can all harass Ms. Socks and have her still nuzzle a whole bunch of you at once.  I do hope she's sharing her ball with you!  Run hard, run fast, and run 'fun' little girl!!

Oh Erica, my heart sank and tears sprang to my eyes when I saw the title of the thread.  I am so sorry.  You definitely did what was right and true to your little girl.  You may not have "owned" her, but you took care of her the way only a momma could.  Big hugs to you!

Run free sweet Heidi!  Have lots and lots of fun with your brother!  You don't have to worry about seizures anymore.

I was unable to catch this yesterday, Erica I am so sorry for your heavy heart today.   Run free Heidi, give my sweet Shadow puppy kisses for me.

 Erica, I'm so sorry. {{{{hugs}}}}. 

So sorry - life wasn't fair to her, but your tenderness and final act of kindness and courage brought her peace and dignity.

Wishing you comfort and peace for little Heidi.
