I have been thinking of wub.gif Oscar wub.gif 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....

{{{{{Nina}}}}}},
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

Dear Nina,
Thinking of you at this sad time. It was the kindest & most loving thing you have done for Oscar in this situation, but also the hardest.
R.I.P. Oscar - too well loved to ever be forgotten, the joy he gave you will live on & on.

Dear Nina,

My heart is with you as you start the heartbreaking transition to life without your
beloved Oscar. I applaud the very deliberate, thoughtful and caring way that you arranged for Oscar's last days to be filled with the love he so deserved. I hope you were able to make some wonderful memories along with the inevitable sad ones.

I so wish I could show you how to get through the grieving process with ease, but I don't think such a thing exists. We put our dear Spike to rest on May 23rd, and I still cry and miss him every single day. Oscar took part of your heart with him and left part of his with you, and that connection will never be broken.

With my deepest sympathy and prayers for your healing....

Juanita....Loving Mom of Angel Spike

Nina - I too have been thinking of you and Oscar today. Knowing what you have gone through or are going through, is so difficult. All of our pets who have gone to The Bridge are all happy and free from pain now, and I know they will all be there to greet your Oscar.
It is true, there is no way to ease your pain and heartache. I have discovered that the pain does remain with you, because part of your heart is gone with your loss of your pet. But, it does ease, and is replaced with wonderfull memories of your pet, the funny things they did, and the happy times you've had. We lost our Scooter 4 weeks ago. I still cry, mornings are worst for me. Yesterday was absolutely awful for me. But, today has been much better. I never thought I would get to a point when I would say I had a better day. You will have your journey through grief as we all have had. And, that saddens us all here, because we know how it hurts. Know that you and Oscar have been in my thoughts and prayers, especially today.(((((((((((Hugs))))))))))) and all thoughts are with you.

Dear Nina,
I wish I could take the pain from your heart, but the best I can do is let you know that I am thinking about you and praying for you.
