Saying Goodbye...

Jan 14, 2005 10:25

I've never lost a pet to death before. I never knew it could be nearly as hard as losing a person. Today at 3:30, my Sonata will be gone. I'm at work and I keep looking at my silent digital clock thinking I hear it ticking ( Read more... )

Thanks, Steve. I'm sorry to dredge up old painful memories for you. :( Was it a dog or cat that you lost?

:(

I'm sure you got my email. Again, hang in there Judy. It will get easier.

Thank you, Brenda. Yes, I did get your e-mail. I know it'll get easier. Today I've allowed myself to feel the pain and just get it out but I know time will heal the wounds.

Awww that's so sad. What's wrong with him? Oh he's very pretty. I'm sorry you feel sad. *hugs*

Thanks, Laura. Basically, age is creeping up on her. The vet had said she was developing arthritis awhile back. It's obvious when watching her that she's got problems with her hips which purebred Samoyeds are very prone to. She looses her footing very easily on vinyl flooring, stands funny to keep her balance and has a hard time getting up or using steps anymore. She also isn't eating well, sleeps a lot and often can't hold her bladder thru the night.

It was tough last night cuz she was super perky when I got there which made me say, "Why are you doing this???". She licked me to death and was bouncing and wagging her tail but she got tired pretty quick and spent most of the time I was there sleeping. It was also obvious that she is in pain. Ugh.

That sounds awful. I'm sorry. I know you will miss her for a long time.
