WildflowerMom Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 I've asked questions a couple times and gotten awesome help and advice from y'all regarding my chihuahua with end-stage congestive heart failure. This afternoon I made the decision to put him to sleep. It was time. It was just me, him, and his vet and it was beautiful. She and I told him we loved him and I got to rock him to sleep before the actual big shot. afterward, she and I held each other and cried. She's been his vet for several years and sees him at least monthly. When they brought me his box, the tech said she was in the back crying her eyes out. I'm so happy my baby had someone there besides me who loved him so much. I knew it was time for him to go and dh did, as well. (He could not be there at the vet, he's more emotional than me right now). We buried him behind our fence so we can sit on the deck and be near him. I swear we're all still feeling him here with us, even our remaining dog. Anyway, I'm an emotional mess, but I'm so happy to have had so many years with him. Thanks to y'all for being there when I had so many questions about his condition! 31 Quote
whitestavern Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 I’m so so sorry. We had to do this back in December. It’s so hard. Hugs. Quote
Spryte Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending you hugs. I hope he comes to visit you often in your dreams. 2 Quote
Ditto Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 Oh I am heartbroken for you and your family. Making the decision to let our furry babes go is just excruciating. It truly is the hardest most loving decision we make. Sending you so many hugs and so much love. I fully believe we will see our pets again and that they are waiting for us. That doesn't take away any of the hurt and pain but does bring me some comfort. 1 Quote
Innisfree Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 I'm so sorry; I know how hard that is. Sending lots of hugs. Quote
I talk to the trees Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 I am so sorry! It's so very hard to make those decisions! He was a very handsome little guy, and so lucky to have a mama like you! Sending you lots of virtual hugs. You know that half the wtm board is crying with you, right? Quote
Kassia Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 I'm so sorry. Our pets just aren't with us long enough. 😞 Quote
alisoncooks Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm very glad that it was a peaceful experience. Our chihuahua (profile pic) passed 4 years ago and we still miss him. Quote
MercyA Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 What a handsome boy. I am very partial to black Chi and Chi-mix boys and still miss mine. ❤️ I'm so glad his passing was peaceful and full of love. Deepest sympathy to you and your family. You will see him again!!! "...the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God."

WildflowerMom Posted July 30, 2021 Author Posted July 30, 2021 Thanks y’all. We will absolutely see him again. I had a vision/thought/not sure what to call it when we were in the room waiting on the vet. It was of Heaven and he was there with other dogs. It kind of shocked me because it’s not anything I’ve ever imagined (that particular scene). I won’t get into details but it was especially comforting especially for an animal lover! Anyway, I’m trying not to cry too noticeably because of my beagle. But that’s hard to do. I just want him back, but well. Anyway, much love to y’all. Thanks for the hugs and kind words! 1 2 Quote
mommyoffive Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 Sending lots of hugs your way. He was such a cutie. Quote
Corraleno Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 I'm so sorry. I lost my little Maltese three years ago and I still think of her every day. The love of a dog is one of the purest things on earth. (((hugs))) 4 Quote
J-rap Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 What a beautiful story... Honestly, the experience of having a pet helps me believe in a loving God. There's really nothing else quite like it. I too believe we'll all be together in the future life God has in store for us. It can be gut-wrenching in the meantime though... Quote
Tanaqui Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 Oh, poor baby. But it was the right call, and I'm glad that he was with people he loved. Quote
Scarlett Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 I am so sorry. I know how hard it is. ((((((Hugs))))) Quote
