t is with great sadness and a broken heart that we had to put Cookie down last night. She was in pain and I couldn't bear to see her like that. She hadn't eaten anything in the morning and finally at 4;00 she ate her last chicken dinner. She kept looking at me with very sad eyes telling me it was time. As soon as my husband came home from work we took her to the emergency clinic. As if the shock of the bills I all ready had weren't enough, the bill from the clinic made us numb. The house is empty, my little white fur ball is no longer following me around. My older dog seems to be missing her as well. He's turning 15 and my hopes for him is a peaceful old age without cancer.
My prayers to all of you, hoping you win your battle with the beast. It is so very hard to have to do this. I don't know when the crying will stop, but for now that's all I can do. We will receive her ashes in about two weeks. They will go in her backyard that she loved with a memorial stepping stone. Bobbie |

My prayers go out to you at this very sad time. As Raymond said "Let your tears fall because they must." This is a very difficult time without Cookie in your life but she will remain in your heart forever.
Spend lots of quality moments with your other dog.He will definitely grieve as well. Blessings, Joanne & Shadow |

I am so sorry for your loss. YOu will be crying for a while, but it does ease up a lot with time. You will have to take my word for it, it seems hard to believe right now. YOu will be so glad to have her ashes, they are such a comfort.
God Bless TJ |

I am extremely sorry for your loss. She knows you loved her and did what you could. I face this outcome everyday and I hope that when the times comes I will be strong knowing I loved my dog and did my best to help him and to feel better. I know that he knows I love him and I will see him again one day.

The final chapter in Rocky's book...hope it helps you all. One year and 2 weeks today since we lost him.
My New Life. Hi Mum and Dad: I know it was tough for us all those last few days but I really appreciate being here now. Even though during the last few weeks I was still able to jump on the bed or chase Alvin, my chipmunk friend, my tummy had started to hurt a lot and my breathing was getting more difficult. However if you want to look on the bright side, we did get to meet a bunch of nice vets during the last year; Dr. Patti and Dr. Allys and of course Dr. Jeff. I’m sure you will keep in touch with them and let them know I am doing well. I know that you both miss me and I miss you too, but given how ill I was feeling at the end, this is the best place for me. It’s not like we can’t chat to each other and the good news is I am available to talk any time of the day or night. I know you may be busy, but I always know when you’re thinking of me and of course I think of you all the time too. Remember this is just one part of the journey, not the end. It’s tough to get your head around the concept but it’s true. Thank you for everything! Love and hugs. Rocky the Rockstar. Post Script. This PS is for my two-legged friends. Take your dogs head in your hands, cuddle his ears and put your nose on his. Look deep into his eyes and you will see his unconditional love, his trust and his soul. I recommend doing this every day. "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." Anatole France |
