I Hope He Still Loves Me Options

[flo]

I just put my Max down Friday morning. He had diabetes and was having sesures. I couldn't let him go on living the way he was and I didn't think it right to make him live with shots and blood tests. I did wht at the time seemed right by him but now I just wish I yelled stop before the needle went in. I miss him so much and I'd do anything to have him back.
He always was there butting his head against mine to cheer me up even on his last night when I was crying over what was going to happen in the morning. How could I do that to him? I hope he still loves his mommy and wants to give me a head rub and kiss when I get to see him again. How do you know if you did right by them. I keep feeling like I took his life away. But I was just thinking of the way he was living everyday water bowl to food bowl to litter box and then repeat. In between he would calapse and no energy. I just wanted to stop his pain and give him peace. I hope he understands and is in peace. God it hurts more then anything and I miss him so very much.

Dear (((((((Flo)))))))

I am so very sorry to hear about your precious boy, Max .

Making the decision to have our beloved furchildren put to sleep is an extremely difficult & gut wrenching decision to make, but when we see that their quality of life isn't what it used to be, when their illness(es) has/have taken a toll on their beautiful bodies, then it is up to us to help make their transition from this life to the next as easy for them as possible. I believe that our precious furkids trust us fully and completely to do what is best for them.
In my heart, I feel that euthanasia is the last loving gift that we can give to them.

Your beloved Max WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, Flo. You found the courage to give Max the "gift of peace", and I truly believe that he is very grateful to you for that. He will always live on right inside your heart .

Right now I'm reading, "Saying Goodbye to your Angel Animals", (Finding comfort after losing your pet), by Allen & Linda Anderson, and it's a book that I highly recommend.
I am finding it very helpful because my sweet girl, Ms. Lucy was put to sleep on April 23, 2010. I'm still feeling numb and I miss her more than words can say.

There are lots of wonderful people here at LS who are going through different phases in their grief journeys. You will never be alone.

Wishing you much peace & love,

Denise
