The hardest thing I have ever done Letting go Please Read
« on: August 16, 2005, 12:38:03 pm »
Tonight me and my boyfriend (Pierre) are going to do the hardest thing we have ever had to do. Our dog Cronics I think I have talked of him before has a tumor in his stomach and in his liver and he is close to heart failure and the Vet said he is only holding on for us cause his body is failing. So when I get home we are going to let him go and rest till we see him again when it is our time to be with him again. I know it is the right thing to do but I want him to stay just a little longer no matter how long he would live I would always want a little more time. Please pray that my sweet guy has peace now that the people that had him before us never let him have that hurt him I can only hope that the last 5 years with us helped make up for that a little.

Rachael, Pierre, Spike and our special boy Cronics

My heart goes out to you, being all too familiar. It is a tough thing to do, but the right thing.
Prays and hugs to you all.

Your Pets In Heaven
by Ken D. Conover

To have loved and then said farewell, is better than to have never loved at all.
For all of the times that you have stooped and touched my head, fed me my favorite treat and returned the love that I so unconditionall y gave to you.
For the care that you gave to me so unselfishly.
For all of these things I am grateful and thankful.

I ask that you not grieve for the loss, but rejoice in the fact that we lived, loved and touched each others lives. My life was fuller because you were there, not as a master/owner, but as my FRIEND.

Today I am as I was in my youth. The grass is always green, butterflies flit among the flowers and the Sun shines gently down upon all of God's creatures.
I can run, jump, play and do all of the things that I did in my youth. There is no sickness, no aching joints and no regrets and no aging.

We await the arrival of our lifelong companions and know that togetherness is forever.
You live in our hearts as we do in yours. Companions such as you are so rare and unique.
Don't hold the love that you have within yourself. Give it to another like me and then I will live forever. For love never really dies, and you are loved and missed as surely as we are.

Your Pets In Heaven

I am sorry that his s adecision you have to make. I know, as does your sweet boy, that this is being done to give him comfort he doesn't feel right now. Know that your heart is in the right place. Our prayers are with you.

it is the hardest thing to do.  But the most peaceful and humane thing to do if he is sick.  :) 

I'll be thinking about you.

May he have peaceful crossing to the bridge. Where he will play while waiting for his loved ones.

Please know that you are doing the kind and gentle thing.  I had to put two of my big, ole gentle Newfs down last year and it was SO peaceful.  I was the one who had such a hard time! (and still am....I miss them!)  I know, for sure, that they understood and they wanted to be released from their suffering.  We will all be together again at the bridge!

Our hearts are with you all!

Cowboy, Chester and me!

There is no more loving thing that you can do than to keep him from suffering any more. When you let go even though your heart wants to hold on, you are doing something bigger than yourself. I find it comforting that we can allow our pets to be free from their broken bodies and I too believe that they will be waiting at the bridge!! God bless you, you are in my prayers.

I think we should all give our fur-babies a very special hug and kiss tonight as a tribute to honor Cronics.

This is by far the most loving thing you can do , but I well know it's also the hardest. May you feel surrounded by all the cyber hugs we can send you at this time, I think most of us know exactly what you are going through and you are THE most loving mom to be able to let your sweet dog go. 
Please know that I'll be thinking of you and your boyfriend.
