Honey, I am actually crying right now. And i feel for your. She was such a lovely dog!!!!!!
My beloved babies both died fall 2009 within two week and it´s still an open wound - raw and hurting. I had to make the final decision on both of them and those two "Yes, do it!"s were most hardest words all my life! Ricky was 17 and he sort of was a very healthy old chap - he died within 12 hours. A nasty tumor hidden in his nose broke and he almost suffocated on his own blood. We fought the whole night, but in the morning he just...crawled on my lab and looked at me. Then he licked my face... And he died in my arms. Eireanne, my little girl, had a hard youth and so her health wasn´t that good. She was just 13 and her liver and kidneys just...stopped working. Within 2 days her whole stomack filled up with fluid and her lungs, too. She would have been drowning from the inside... Again I had to help her let go. Poor girl didn´t even know what happenend...she was so weask, lying in my arms. And she was almost gone - the vet merely got all the stuff in her vein, when she sighed deeply and...it was over.
I cremated both and now they´re with me in spirit. Sorry, I´m babbling... *cries* *************************************************************** Here´s a poem i like a lot: "The Rainbowbridge Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Bright eyes are intent; eager body quivers. Suddenly the pet begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass,legs carrying faster and faster like flying. YOU have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... ******************************************************
Feel my best wishes with you... Try to remember the good days - those tinny and great moments, the amazing days when she had fun, when was goofy or just sooooo sweet beyond words... There are a lot of those tinny sparks of joy, though you maybe can´t see them right now.
And remember - one day, when you walk the green field leading to the heaven´s gate, all your animal friends will be waiting there. (For me it´s a whole pack!) They will have fun while waiting, I´m sure... And as long as you made her (short) life the best it could be, you´ve done enough. I take some relief out of this thought and believes.
