Re: Shugg's time is drawing near....
I'm sitting here choking up reading your post. I'm so sorry you're experiencing this part of owning and loving a pet. I've been through it quite a few times. It never gets any easier. We love them all and having to say goodbye is such a sad time for us. My thoughts are with you.
Re: Shugg's time is drawing near....
So happy you had some days before it was time. Gosh they are our beloved family members and to be strong, stay with them and say goodbye -- we loved you always. That is the gift you give back for all their unselfish love.
I'm so sorry it hurts so much, but know our hearts and prayers are with you and yours.

Re: Shugg's time is drawing near....
Liz, I am so sorry. This must be very difficult for you and you DH. They aren't pets; they are our children. God bless you.
Re: Shugg's time is drawing near....
Liz, by the time I was done reading your post my tears were flowing. I feel your pain & your loss. As an adult, I have not had to face this yet....but our dear Bandit who was a puppy it seems "just yesterday" is already 5 1/2 yrs old. Beginning to see the gray hair on his snout....knowing he is getting older. Praying that some awful disease doesn't cut his time with us short. I am so sorry for your loss, but you know you are making the right decision for Shugg although your heart breaks. Warm hugs & prayers are being sent your way.
Re: Shugg's time is drawing near....
Adding my tears to yours.... I know how hard this part of Loving is.
Re: Shugg's time is drawing near....
Thank you all for your words of comfort, kindness, and prayers. I took today off work so I was able to sleep with Shugg last night. I must say not much sleep for me, but alot of belly rubs for her. Gave her a big breakfast and now we will snuggle until time to go. Thank you so much for telling me this is the right thing to do. I was going to take her Saturday, but simply couldn't. She is so strong, and loves us so much.....she simply will not give into the pain. This makes her condition deceitful in it's severity. I've taken some goos pics over the last few weeks and will share when I can,
Love,
Liz
