I wanted her to go in her sleep. I prayed I wouldn't have to make that decision. But she was too tough she fought so hard to stay with us because she knew we would be lost without her. That day came and we knew it was time. We laid in bed with her from 7am until 4pm watching the clock knowing we were spending our last hours with her. We snuggled her and told her we loved her a million times. I felt like I was dying. We don't have kids she was our child. Horrific is the only word I can think of that even comes close to describing what we had to do. She was so scared, all I could think of was her last thought on earth was that I took her to the bad place that she hated. Does she know I did this out of love? Please let her know that. I couldn't stand the thought of her suffering anymore. Does she know how much I love her and miss her? We held her until the end. It replays in my mind constantly like a movie. The vet saying "she's gone". The pain physically hurts.The house is so empty and quiet. I can barely function. Nothing matters, I feel like a zombie. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and my husband isn't there. We have her doggie bed next to ours on the floor. I find him laying there next to it crying. I don't know what I did to deserve her but I thank God everyday for our time together. An Angel like her comes around once in a lifetime if you are lucky. The years of joy and happiness she brought us is worth this pain. We will see her again someday I know she is waiting for us, our bond will never be broken. ![]() -------------------- Diana

Diana, I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your precious Sasha. Thank you for sharing the pictures with us. When I read your post my heart went out to you and your husband. I understand the pain you are feeling. I would like to share my story with you.
In 2004 I had to put my (Abby) almost 17 yr. old lab/whippet to sleep. Her body was just giving out on her and I knew it was time. My other pure lab (Lizzy) and I were so lost. I was going through a divorce and then moved out of state. Liz was my strength through all of it. I then adopted a lab pup and Liz thought she was Elly's momma. Liz was 6...but acted like a puppy again. I was on top of the world with my 2 beautiful cream colored babies. Liz was very healthy...until the day I found the lump. I was shocked when the vet said it was stage 3 inoperable cancer. The meds bought Liz more time and we made sure to make every day special. She was an incredibly strong and happy dog. She greeted me at 5am each day with her ball ready to play. Knowing she had cancer was so hard....as she was only 9. I felt like we were so cheated as she was young in my eyes. The only thing that helped was recalling the wonderful happy years we shared. I took tons of photos of Liz which I treasure. Losing Liz was incredibly sad. But, I had to be thankful for the time we shared. I worked hard to be strong like Liz was. Like Sasha, she didn't like to see me sad either. Several months later I adopted an adorable white lab (Mandy). She and Elly are now best friends and I laugh at their silly antics. Mandy does alot of the same silly things Liz used to. I believe Liz led me to find Mandy. Once in awhile I talk to Liz and hope she is looking down at us from Heaven. I hope my story has offered you some hope. Everyone grieves in their own way/time. It's not an easy road....but worth going through the pain....as I know you have so many wonderful memories. Try and feel the strength that Sasha had. And remember, that she will always hold a special place in your heart. |
