Greta is gone
« on: October 23, 2006, 05:17:51 pm »
My baby girl had a horrible time the last two days. I wish I had taken her to Pet Emergency on Saturday when she was first telling me she was ready. But I waited, because I was insecure about taking her for a car ride and having her on an exam table when she went to sleep. She couldn't sleep at all on Sunday night and this morning she had some sort of spell and wasn't the same after that. She could still hear me and responded, but some neurological failure happened and she could no longer hold her eyes steady. I knew she was dying.

Greta's vet came to her home tonight around 7 pm and she was put to sleep.

No matter how I feel later, I'm telling you right now that I feel so terrible there is nothing I can say or do. I don't know how I will feel tomorrow. I think I will be bursting into tears all the time, uncontrollably and inappropriate times...in public and when I am supposed to be serious.

My heart is broken. It's going to take some time. I don't know what else to say. This was just awful.

I'm so sorry for your loss.  You did the bravest, hardest, yet kindest thing a person in love with her best friend can do.  You are in my thoughts today.

Goodbye sweet Greta!!! 

It hurts like $*#&!!!  but you loved her and it will hurt.  She was a great friend and those are always hard to loose.  You take care of yourself too though. 
I am so sorry to hear that Greta is passed on.  She will be missed, but remembered fondly!!!!

I am so sorry for your loss. Part of grieving is crying, so cry. You have to do that before you will feel any type of closure. You did what you thought was best for Greta, and she was with you, the person who loved her more than anything in this world, and thats what she would have wanted. We're all here when you want to talk. ((big hugs)) RIP Beautiful Greta
