I just wanted to mention one other thing to you. When the time comes, call your vet and have him come to the house to do it. She will be more comfortable and happy that way. That's what I did, and it made it easier on my boy. He drifted off to sleep while laying on his own bed in his own home with me by his side petting him and telling him how much I love him. We made the appointment a few days in advance and they gave me some Valium to give him a few hours before the vet came, so he was totally relaxed and content. I'm turning into a mess just thinking about it now, I know how hard this is for you and your family.

I'll be praying for you, your baby, and your family. God can also fix a broken heart, and He will if you lean on Him.

(((HUGS)))

I'm just a mess now...

My biggest issue right now is guilt i think. My ex and i divorced on 2007. My choice. And oh what a mistake i made. I got the kids and he got the dogs. Now, that said, currently we live 3 houses apart and i am remarried. I care for them when he is out of town and we are sharing in the expense and decision making regarding Gracie (the dog) as we do our children. I couldn't take the dogs because i had to rent for a while and he has just kept them. He takes great care of them but they are alone all day while he works. When he tells the kids i am coming to get them, the dogs go crazy. I feel bad that i didn't take them back when we bought our home.i feel that they could have had more interaction here since i am home. Not much to do at this point but feel bad.

It's ok, we all have regrets in our lives. I don't know one single person who doesn't. I"ve often thought, oh if I could go back in time I would do it all so differently! Or, if I knew then what I know now........But, we can't go back. Now it's time to move forward and forgive yourself as God has already forgiven you.

Funny thing about dogs, they don't live in the past like we humans do. They live in the moment, the here and now. So, just love her as much as you can now because now is all that we have, and that's all that matters. The past does not exist anymore, it only exists in your memories.

Just love Gracie as much as you can today, while she is still with you, and forgive yourself.

We are starting her on antibiotics today and will reassess in a few days. Praying that it is bacterial but it is unlikely.

I'm so sorry for your difficulty. I love what LisaLisa had to say. When a dear pet passed on, my wife and I used it as an opportunity to grieve with the kids... to show them that everyone grieves differently and it's OK.... and to show them that the vehicle that we move about in, this body, is temporary. But that which is truly valuable, our soul and spirit lives on forever. We just leave this old vehicle behind (for now). (kind of like an old car that doesn't run anymore... we get out and don't drive it anymore.... but someday, it will be restored.)

Oh, Momof......my heart breaks for you. I'm crying too. This is an awful thing to admit, but I'd rather be around animals than many people I know. (I'm NOT talking about anyone on this board! You guys are my family. I don't know what I'd do without all of you. ) I'm even praying that the Lord raptures out my 3 babies. I'm gone 5 minutes.....they treat you like you've been gone for days. I was a cat person for 21 years....until Sharlamane came into my life. Man I jumped the fence to 'dog-dom' and never looked back. I can't even fathom life without her..............

Holy Father, the Maker of our 4 legged friends, You gave us a special place in our hearts to love our animal babies. I know they have souls because of the different personalities. Animals enhance our lives, just by giving us a kiss on the cheek when we have a bad day. Dogs are the closest relationship we have to experience unconditional love. They think we are special, even when we think the worst of ourselves. They lift us up with their bouncy playful way of expressing themselves, and even in their twilight years, they still have that trust in us to know what they need.....even if it's to let them go...............................I can't finish this......Lord, it's in Your Precious Name I ask for help for these wonderful people and mercy on their 4 legged baby, Amein

I apologize, Momof.......it's hard to type through tears....................

I can't type because I'm crying too. (There should be a warning page before you get to CV. People here are always making me cry.) I cried for months when my little white hamster, Squishball, died in 2007. I can't imagine what I will do when Tramp, our 12 yr old border collie/ shepherd mutt goes. He's my other kid; the one with the tail. He is a couch potato and so gentle he wouldn't bite his own fleas. He saved my youngest son's life nine years ago, his older brothers' lives too, I think. They would have gotten injured, but Xander was only three. The neighbor's sharpie/ chow (twice as big as Tramp) slipped his chain and attacked the kids who were outside playing in our front yard. Tramp broke through the storm door and tore that other dog to shreds. There wasn't a mark on any of the kids, or Tramp, but there was blood all over the place. The neighbors took the dog straight to the pound. I brought the kids in and cleaned them up. And Tramp went back to sleeping on the sofa.

I read a wonderful story about a little girl dealing with her dog's death and what God did about it. I can't copy and paste it, but grab a box of Kleenex and read this. snopes.com: Letter from God about Abbey (Dead Dog)

I'm glad we are going to have a mansion in Heaven. We're going to need a lot of room for all the dogs, and cats, and hamsters, and rats, and mice, and bunnies, and goldfish, and hermit crabs that we have loved and who loved us back. God said all good things will be in Heaven. That means our pets will be there.

I haven't seen this one. But I have heard Dr. Van Impe talk about how he prayed on his knees for God to heal his beloved little kitty - He did, and Jacks kitty is all better and fourteen years old now. I am sure it is a good video. https://ww2.micahtek.com/nexolive/nShop_Detail.cfm?CFID=28077996&CFTOKEN=11338973
