Praying For Oscar, Nina's sweet boy Options

[Kim R.]

I have been thinking of Oscar and Nina today. I know today is the day that Oscar was scheduled for his journey to the bridge. I just wanted to ask everyone to keep them in your hearts today. For Oscar, today is the most wonderful day he could ever imagine. He has earned his puppy wings and will now spend eternity in a place of such beauty and happiness that we couldn't imagine it in our wildest dreams. For Nina, however, it marks the beginning of a very difficult road and one that we are all traveling. I pray that she will find peace in knowing that she is giving her Oscar the most precious gift possible. To release him from a pain that he can not escape on his own is the most brave and loving thing she could ever do for him, and he will be eternally grateful for her courage....

If you read this, please know my heart is aching for you and you are not alone. I know how badly it hurts to be forced to make this decision for your furbaby, and it is one that carries a lot of emotional baggage. You will have many thoughts of 'did I wait too long?','did I do it too soon?','I should've...','I could've'...these are all things we do to ourselves to punish ourselves for 'what we've done' when in reality the only thing we ever did was love our babies so much that we would be willing to hurt this much so that they never have to hurt again...
your friend in grief,
Kim
