My final moments that I remember of Twinkie were of him struggling with the tape on his feet. He was scared when the cold saline ran through his line and he looked up at me with these big scared eyes. Then, the euth solution was given to him and he was gone. Completely gone. His body was there but his soul was not. His long, white tail that he always held so high and proud was limp in my hands. These memories are burned into my memory and they are the source of a lot of pain.
The social worker and vet told me this was the best way to do it. That way, I can see him go in peace. I don't know that I feel that it was the best way because the memories are so vivid and I replay them in my mind, which causes more grief. I was there when my little Twinkers died. It's just so incredibly sad to think about. I just waved my magic pet owner wand and Twinks life was over before my eyes. It was so painful. It wasn't helpful for closure and it just makes me miserable to think about. So why the he ll did they encourage me to watch this?!?!?!? -------------------- I LOVE YOU TWINKIE!

I was with all of my animals that were PTS but the last one. I coud not bring myself to do it. I have vivid memories of Ace in the carrier knowing he was no longer with us. I can't get rid of them. With Doodle I just couldn't do it. My husband asked me to make sure that I could live with myself afterwards and not regret it. I do regret it to a small degree, but I did not leave him alone, my hubby was there with him. I think it is a personal choice, but by all means we have to do what we can live with and not regret after the fact. I can live with the decision I made. I kissed him on the head and told him how much I loved him and thanked him for holding on long enough to help me deal with the loss of Ace 2weeks before.
And then I went to wait in the car. When my hubby got to the car he told me that the vet got upset and cried herself. My last mental pictures of him was him looking up at me as I kissed his head. I can live with that. -------------------- Ace 1991 to 10-26-2006 you will always be my baby boy!
Doodle 10-23-2005 to 11-12-2006 I will never forget the love and joy you gave me. I miss you both so much-love Mama |
