Goodbye, Little Girl

I know it seems like a very hard decision to make, we had to make this same decision in January with our Shadow, no longer able to function due to cancer.   The folks here helped assure me that we were setting Shadow free to feel no more pain.   I want you to know,, it was still a very difficult decision but the right one.   You will be sad, you will cry, you will miss her but the main thing is she will be happy to run and play with all the others at Rainbow Bridge.   Its time, its a good choice for Mazie, we will all be here to help you greive.

I guess it's time-don't you????? I need some reassurance....

Oh, you poor sweetheart!  Your post made me cry. Let me offer reassurance that you know best. You have taken care of and loved this girl nearly her whole life. How difficult for you! I'm so sorry for what you're going through. But it's clear to me that you have her best interest at heart.

My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.  

I'm so sorry you're having to go thru this. I think you really have to trust yourself and know that she trusts you too. You've loved her all these years and although letting her go is always going to be the toughest decision we have to make, it's also the most loving thing we can do when it's time. Hugs to you thru this difficult time.

she's blind, hard of hearing, has congestive heart failure so she chokes all the time, and has been incontinent of urine 3 times this week.   She goes outside to fenced yard, and stands in one spot with tail tucked between her legs for the longest time. I guess it's time-don't you?????

She is 15 1/2 years old and you saved her from what sounds like a very hard beginning. It is so hard to let her go.  But it is ok, and she won't be suffering anymore. 

Many here know how it feels, which is why when we read it makes us tear up a little .  Wish we could ease your burden at this time. Guess just sharing is helpful to do.

  This has to be such a difficult thing to go thru, but you have given her so much over the years and now you're giving her peace. She will be free from suffering and as sad as you will be, try to focus on all the good, positive things about her and the good times you spent with her. Plus the fact that she will be at the Rainbow Bridge playing and running free with all the other pups!! Hang in there - you are all in my thoughts! You are doing the right thing for her.

One thing I always tell myself now.   I would rather be one day too early than one day too late.... I was too late on two dogs,,, wont make that mistake again.

I'm going to email you -- after just a little research it sounds to me like a lot of those things are potential side effects FROM the Xanax.  A different ... maybe holistic ... vet who may change the meds could change things.

I am also so very sorry that you are having to make this decision.  You have been the strong one for your little girl and continue to be strong.  She knows of your love--both of you will always have that very special love that you shared--it will always be in your heart.  I pray that you have wisdom and strength to make the right decision.  I also pray for peace and comfort for you. 

Hopefully, it will be a side-effect of thr xanax, as Callie said. If not, my heart goes out to you and your husband.  It does sound as if the quality of life is gone. I'm so sorry you have to make this decision,as it is such a difficult one. Remember, you gave her a good life and try to remember the good times. All dogs named Maize are wonderful, as that is my dals name,only with a Y at the end.

Yes, it is time to let her go.  Let her go and run and play with my little April.  God bless you both in your decision.  It is the hardest thing to do, I know but it is for the best for her.  Hugs to all of you.
