My darling little boy is leaving me and my heart is breaking. Sweep is 16 years old and 2 months. He is a dear little terrier/poodle mix and has been the sunshine of my life.

We don't have any human children and our fur boys have been our family. Sweep has had congestive heart failure for awhile and is being treated by meds but I can see him slipping now and I am dying inside. I feel so helpless. I want to hug him all the time and carry him but I don't want to spoil his time left on earth by tears and fears. I just want to help him. I do not want him to suffer. As I can tell his hearing is so poor now it breaks my heart. He is bumping into things too sometimes yet he still bounces and get all playful when we take him out in the yard. He still wants his morning and evening walk and if my husband tries to cut it short in case he is tired he pulls and shows my husband the RIGHT way to go. He knows exactly the way they have always gone and he wants it the same as usual. He sleeps alot. Plus he is losing weight. But he is still cheerful and he lights up when we go on car rides and I am making a point to take just him alone for some special outtings. His daddy works all day but I am home all the time so he's not alone. When he wakes up he wanders around looking for me and when he finds me he just bounces up to me most the time...sometimes he just slowly comes to me but he still comes...and it touches my heart every time. I DO want to be UNSELFISH but part of me wants to hold on to him at any cost. He coughs from trachea issues and that hurts me to hear him cough like that.

Today we are taking him to vet for a check up and just to see if he needs his heart med raised up. We have had him to a doggy cardiologist in the USA and not much more can be done....his little heart is just giving up. I'm not ready to say goodbye. I never would be. He was my first furboy. He gave me my second....you see I am blessed to have his little son, Sootee and then just last year, Sweep befriended a little maltese in the neighborhood and to make a long story short, that little maltese was living in hell and we were able to adopt him so I credit Sweep with bringing so much joy to my life....but it will be absolute hell to lose him. I want to do the best for him though...not to be selfish and do what is best for me.

I need to have some plans in place as when he passes I know I will not be able to think straight on what to do with his precious little body. If anyone could be so kind as to share with me what they did and all, I would be so thankful. If I could Get It Together for Sweeps sake, it would be great. I want to know what to expect at the end and to try to be ready so I don't bawl my head off as he leaves and make him feel scared. I just want him to have the best care the best everything. I love him for much and I owe him for be has been the best little lad you could ever want. Oh the times I was sick and he would comfort me.

I'd love to hear from others who are going thru this themselves and hope we can support each other. So many people in the world just don't "get it" and I find myself not wanting to talk to "non doggy people" as I often do not appreciate their simplistic comments though they mean well. Sweep is family to me, not an object to replace.

Would anyone be willing to offer me some suggestions of how to best handle matters?


I am thankful to have found this web site.
