Run free, Kaiser...

Posted : 6/7/2011 8:57:41 AM

I don't even know how to type this. I just got home from letting Kaiser go. I'm not sure if he had some kind of stricture or what, but he started vomiting stool. Last night, despite being on steroids, he became completely incontinent...So I put a diaper on him and made him sleep in the dog room. This morning, I knew it was time. I am very upset, as this is the hardest thing I've ever done. He was so excited to get in the car...I almost made him get back out. But I know in my heart that he was suffering, and I can't make him go through that anymore. I wish I would've let him sleep with me last night...I had no idea. He was so young...

I really appreciate all your kind support, prayers, and healing vibes you guys have given me through this. I will post some pictures of him later when I'm not so upset.

Kaiser -- it's possible you fell over him when you lept to the foot of Rainbow Bridge but Billy (and everbuddy else from my crew) was waiting for you at the foot of the Bridge this morning.

Megan -- please holler if I can help. I know you feel so raw this morning but you did the best and most loving thing you could.

I, too, posted on FB, but wanted to extend my sincerest condolences here. I absolutely understand how hard it is to make these decisions. I think most of us here on this forum have experienced it. It completely sucks when our fur babies' bodies give out before their time.

Megan, you gave Kaiser the most abolute and utterly fabulous life, period. YOU are an awesome DogMom, an awesome spirit. And, you may remember that I am a big believer in spirituality and life after death. Maybe, just maybe you will feel him around you for a while. Even if you don't....talk to him. Tell him how you are feeling. Welcome the dreams you will have.

He is so full of love and life right now. And, he is ever so grateful to have you as part of his circle.

Exuberant hugs to you, sweet girl. I wish I was there to give you a big squeeze...like I would my own daughter.

Megan, ((hugs)), it is so hard to not keep our babies around. I know right now you are feeling loss but soon you will be able to laugh and talk about the joy Kaiser brought into your life.

Run Free Kaiser....go find my sweet Shadow. You look just like one of his first friends in doggy class he would love to run and play ball with you!!!!

Deeply, deeply sorry, Megan. Count me among your admirers for having been the best possible friend, mom, care giver Kaiser could have. It's soul crushing that he was still young, but you knew he had been through enough and loved him enough to let him go. I'm hoping you won't second guess yourself, but know from personal experience, it is almost inevitable.

Sleep well and rest easy, noble Kaiser; wonderfully handsome, brave, strong and spirited and dearly loved.

I am so very very sorry for your loss of your beautiful boy.

You both fought the good fight for a long time and only your wonderful care of him gave him so much more time in comfort and happiness.Your letting him go today was the ultimate act of love because you did it for him, not for you.

Comforting thoughts going out to you in this time of deep sadness.

RIP, Kaiser.
