Lacy, Missing You.... Options

[drifty1027]

I had to write this to you because I too am going through the hardest time right now. My baby of 14 years got really sick the weekend of Feb. 5th.
When I took her to the vet on Monday a.m., he took blood and gave her
fluids because she hadn't eaten in 2 days. When I got the results back on Wed., the vet told me she was in kidney failure. Her BUN was 210, normal
was 30. We tried for the next 10 days to give fluids in the hope that this
would work and get her kidneys functioning again. The BUN number did
not change enough to indicate that the fluids were helping. I too had to make that final decision to have her put down. We buried her the next day on our land. It has been a week now and I look for her everyday to come and meet
me or be at the foot of the bed where she slept. I could not stay in the
room when the vet gave her the injection. I feel that I betrayed her but
people told me that would not be how I wanted the last time to see her be.
I know I did what was right for her because she was sick and had stopped eating the last 4 days and would throw up after drinking water but I miss her
so bad. I think I do o.k. for a while then the tears start flowing all over again.
I too wait for the day when we cross the Rainbow Bridge together. God bless my little girl.
I miss you

Oh, Julie, my heart grieves for you because I know what you're going through. What a beautiful picture of Miss Lacy!

I wish there was something I could say that would make your grieving easier, but there isn't.

I truly believe, though, that we will be reunited with our babies when we pass. I feel that when we make the decision to not let them suffer anymore, we are helping them pass to heaven - it is NOT an ending.

Your girl is beautiful (SHE STILL IS!) and Lacy would not want you to feel guilty about anything.

I wish there was more I could do for you. Please feel free to e-mail me if you wish.

Sending you a (((hug)))
