We are heading out to the veterinary ER, Sammy has been under the weather and took a turn for the worse! I'll be back on later!! We are having him euthanized tonight!! 30+ minute drive, please pray for us my heart is breaking!!

I know the feeling ... Zoya the Samoyed, Sophie & Lacey (twins, mixed Westie), Bella (Italian Greyhound), Marco Polo (Deer Faced Chihuahua) and my retired Bay racehorse "Bebe" - - All rescues, living to age 13 (except the horse was 30). From 1984 to the present. Only way I can describe it is like having my heart ripped out and handed to me. It's gut wrenching and indescribable. I thought after Zoya that I would never adopt again because they are so intuitive and wonderful, but they don't last as long as us (humans). I had to promise myself I wouldn't get torn up as much knowing this - - but fact is...each time it is still extremely hard. I put their urns and pictures next to this:

I am certain Jesus has them safe in the place he has prepared for us.
I take great comfort in that. The love - - you take it with you.
Many Many Many sympathies and blessings, Pearl.

[Amish Heart]

Sorry, Pearl. That's so sad.

 

[rice paddy daddy]

Pearl, please accept my deepest sympathies.
We have had to do this many times over the last 50 years.
No matter how right it is for the animal, it is still very hard.

Pearl, I am so sorry! Prayin for you!

 

[Peepaw from Tex]

Pearl, so sorry yo are having to go through this. Prayers for your grief.

 

[SOAH]

Sorry Pearl. We have been down this road before and you are not alone for sure. It's never easy for sure but they don't need to suffer if they are in a bad way. Keeping you in the "chain"...

 

[Weedygarden]

I'm so sorry for your loss. There is no greater love on earth than from our beloved pets. Hugs.

I guess this thread should get moved to the family pets sections! I was upset and just posted!! For those who don't know Sammy cat's story I will quickly recap! Sammy came up a year ago May, totally emaciated! He lived and recovered, the vet said he would most likely die from organ damage because of such severe starvation!! He developed a swallowing problem a while back. Just two days ago he started having breathing problems! We went to an emergency vet tonight, they feel the large mass in his lungs was a rapidly developing cancer! He is at peace now, I am glad we didn't wait!! He had time here with his 'sisters', Annie and Baby Cakes, he had happy time! He was loved and will be buried in our pet cemetery after the ice storm!! He will be missed dearly, but I am glad he is not suffering!!

That is one of the worst drives to make. You give your fur babies every love you have.

[Mountain trapper]

Sorry for your loss Pearl. I know there's a dog heaven, so I'm sure there's one for cats too.

 

[Binky]

Me too. At least that is a blessing that you could get him to the vet so quickly. Such a beautiful cat. I am so, so sorry for your loss. ((( HUGS )))

 

[dademoss]

I'm sorry for your loss, the hardest part of having pets is losing them.

 

[elkhound]

wisdom from a friend of mine...pets give us all their days to enjoy them...and only one bad day at the end....so its well worth it to have pets.

only one bad day !

sorry today is your bad day...prayers !

So sorry, Pearl. We have had to do it many times, and it never gets any easier. One of the vets told me there comes a time when they have to go back to their real Mom. They will always have a special place in our hearts. You gave him a good home and a lot of love. He was very lucky to find you.
