My Baby Is Gone Options

[merlin96]

My Sweetie is gone. I had to have her put to sleep yesterday morning after the pain from spinal osteosarcoma got too bad. She was diagnosed on 12/28 and we struggleld for 2 weeks after that trying to manage the pain. More like keep ahead of the pain. She ended up on 4 different kinds of medications just to keep her pain under control and in the end it failed miserably. There was no choice but to let her go. She was an awsomely beautiful 8 1/2 year old Akita Shepherd mix whose name reflected her gentle soul and spirit. I got her from the shelter less than 3 years ago and that was the name she came with. It suited her. She was a good girl in every way. She loved trying to chase squirrels, playing with all her stuffed animals, giving kisses, getting belly rubs, going for adventure walks and riding in the car. My life is empty without her. I don't know how I will go on. I am lost. My heart is broken.

Merlin,
although nothing anyone says on here can take the pain away that you are feeling right now, all of us know how you are feeling. I am still feeling it for my Max everyday. I truly believe that Sweetie is over the Rainbow Bridge playing with all of her furry friends. I'm sure my Max is there with her running around. Please try and not feel guilty as I am sure that you did everything that you could for her. Grieve as much as you need to and never let anyone tell you when to stop but, please try and avoid the guilt. You obviously loved her and took good care of her. There is plenty of support on this site anytime you need it.
