Harsh Cruel Words, From a Family Member Options

[Ann H]

I try not to post about my problems with my Snookie being sick but today someone said "Why don't you just put that dog to sleep and put her out of her misery, you know she is eaten up with cancer and is going to die anyway". This person went on to tell me that I am being selfish in keeping her with me and even though she seems to have recovered from her last illness that she must still be in pain.

Why do people have to be so cruel and so hardhearted! This person carried on and on about the money I have spent on her. So what it is none of their business if I wanted to sell my home and be poor the rest of my life. I did not ever borrow money from that person to run all the tests that were done or to pay for her to stay in the hospital.

Oh course I was told no amount of money could save my little girl or I just may have sold my home to fix her. Snookie is not just a dog she is my baby, my child. my heartbeat, the one who loves me in this cruel world. The one who calms me when I am sad and the storms of life seems so hard. Give her up, nothing doing, not until it is her time to go. I will hold onto her with dear life for she is my life.

I am sorry to carry on but when a family member said these things it just kills my soul. They know how I feel about her and should never say things like this.

Thank you all for your words of comfort. I guess we really are the lucky ones who love and have been loved by our precious babies. I remember one year my sister and I took gifts over to my mom and dads toy poodle same as we did every year. Dad asked why we brought toys and said she had enough but we only saw one toy in the floor. I guess he threw the rest of them away. All she got from him for her birthday was a dirty look and an unkind word.

I guess people must have been a lot harder back in his day like so many have said about others. Sometimes tells my sister and I how when he was a little boy he diposed of a bag of kittens in a very cruel way and the people fixed him dinner for it, he has the nerve to laugh about causing them to die. He knows this story upsets my sister and I and yet he keeps telling it over and over again.
