to put my dog down.no one will help me with this decision.i also get to go & do it all by myself.& i'll probably get scolded for losing that dumb phone.i'll tell you..i didn't even feel like going out to look for it i'm so exhausted.but if you were to look at me you'd think it didn't phase me one bit.
sometimes i think the dog is smiling.i wish she could just tell me "oh hell it hurts."

I'm so sorry you're having to go through such a difficult time. I know the pain of having to put a lovedone (pet) to sleep and having to be the one to make the decision. My kitten had Peritunitis (kitty leukemia) and there was nothing that could be done for her. I was lucky in that the vet that I went to was very understanding with the pet-parents, and they used her blanket to wrap her in and the nurse (vet tech, assistant, whatever they're called) held my little Katie in her arms with the blanket and her little kitty toy while the Doctor administered the medications to put her to sleep. I was offered to be the one to hold her, but I just wasn't able to do it when it got time to go in there. She told me that it was very peaceful and that there was no suffering.
It is so hard, and I would never wish that experience on anyone, even as peaceful and kind as the vets were. Take comfort in knowing that you are putting your beloved dogs needs above your own self wants and fears. If you know it is in his/her best interest to not suffer any longer, then take comfort in that fact that he/she won't be in pain any more. I believe animals have souls, no matter what people tell me, and they suffer just like people. They can love, they can hurt, they just can't talk- so its up to us to listen to their facial expressions / body language and to their vets to find out if they are suffering. But at the end of the day, we have to decide for them if its time to be put to sleep to end the suffering.
You can and will get through this.

thank you.
my neighbor offered to come but she was more of a mess than me & my dog together & i couldn't handle that.
i also have the added stress of a visit from my mother & in my case a visit from her is extraordinarily stressful.
but it'll be ok for the kids to have the distraction.
if anyone loses a pet google the poem rainbow bridge.
unfortunately it'll most likely make you cry buckets
love,sus
((((((((((((Suzi)))))))))))) My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know how hard it is to lose a pet and to be the one who has to handle it. I hope you and your kids are doing ok.
Hugs,
Traci
PS - Yes, the Rainbow Bridge poem does make me cry and I'm a tough nut to crack when it comes to crying.
Suzi-
Sorry that you are going through this. It is such a hard decision to make, even when it is the right one. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
