I am very sad
I feel like it is time for her to cross the rainbow bridge and be with her "sisters" Bear and Hannah. I will be calling the vet tomorrow and probably take her in for the last time. They will all be very sad as she is one of their miracle children. Katie has been alive 6 years longer than she should have. She was diagnosed with a tumor in her heart that caused blood to pool around her heart. We were told she might live for a couple months. Three vets were amazed that she beat the odds, the cardiologist at the vet school, the vet at the specialty clinic and Katies own vet. She is my flirty butt dog. She loves everybody and used to wag her whole body when greeting anybody. Now she can barely stand much less wag and flirt. This is no way for my happy girl to have to be. It is so hard to say good bye, even when it is time and the right thing to do. We will miss her terribly. |

I'm so sorry. 
She will soon be running free at the Bridge. It is always so hard to let them go, but you are doing right by her. |
| My heart is breaking for you! It sounds as though you have given her a wonderful life and she's probably the "miracle" baby because of your great love and care . Trust yourself to know what is the right thing to do for her. Yeah, it sucks to say goodbye. Nothing worse. Prayers for you and your special girl! |
| Bless your special girl, my heart is also breaking for you, trust yourself you will know when it is the right time. Always a terribly hard decision but one we do for them out of love.
You have given her a wonderful life and no one ever wants to make a decision but you will truly know in your heart when the time is right. Thinking of you all at this very sad decision time. |
I am so sorry to hear you have to make that choice, but I know that she has lived a great life and had lots of love with you. My heart and prayers go with you on that final trip to the vet.  |
| Im so sorry you have to make this painful decision. My thoughts and prayers are going out to you.
|
| I am sorry to here about your girl and the decision you have to make. Obe and I will say prayers tonight. But know it is what we must do when the time comes for their sake. |
| Hi,
I'll be thinking of you as well. Because you love her you are going to do one of the most unselfish and loving acts for her. You're being strong for her and how lucky she is to have you as her mom. When I had to make this decision a few years ago for my girl this poem brought me comfort. I hope it helps and I'm so sorry you are going through this. http://www.superdog.com/petloss/if_it_be.htm Hugs to you Marianne |
I wish you strength for your flirty butt dog. 
|
| My heart goes out to you and your family. You will be in all my prayers. |
| Susan and Margot, I'm sorry you have to make this decision. I bid you peace on this sad day. |
| My heart goes out to you but it sounds as though it is for the best (at least for her)
Hugs to you |
| What a hard choice. But, it does become easier when you see that they are suffering, with no chance of recovery. Big hugs to you both, Katie and your other dogs during this hard time. |
| so very sad for you and your flirty girl |
| I am so sad you have to make this decision. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this awful time. Katie has been blessed with a wonderful home and has been a faithful, loyal companion all these years. You are doing the right thing for her, no matter how hard it is for you. |
| You are being totally unselfish you are putting your dog above your pain. Thinking of you. Everyone who has, or had a dog knows what you are going through. It is one of the hardest decisions to make. Bless you and your family. |
| My heart goes out to you at this very difficult time... |
Oh Susan!  I'm so sorry! |
| Katie wants to thank every one for the love, sympathy and prayers sent to us, but she decided it was not time yet to to make the decision. Monday she was much perkier and has been doing well for her the last couple of days. We still have to use the towel to get up the stairs (which she shouldn't be doing ) but her legs are a little steadier. Pyrs are hard headed and thankfully stuborn.
Thank you all again, I am so thankful to have found this forum and the wonderful people here. sincerely, Susan and Katie |
