It's time to let her go

[Saje]

I was going to take Sakari in to get more bloodwork today to see how her kidneys are doing but she's very depressed looking and isn't holding down her food at all. It just breaks my heart but I know in my gut that she's not getting better. It's been almost three weeks since she first stopped eating and she's so skinny and starting to get shakey. I just love her to pieces but she's not the same happy, smiley dog she used to be. I don't want to let her go but I don't think I can fix her. So I'm going to call the vet and see if we can do it today. Steve's taking some time off work to come with me.

Saje, I'm so sorry. I know you tried so hard to help Sakari. We'll always support you no matter what you choose, but I think you're doing the right thing.

(((((Hugs again)))))

 

[Saje]

Thanks you guys.

I made the appointment for 4 p.m. which is in about an hour and a half.

((HUGS)) and tears I am so sorry, this has to be such a hard decision. You know we will all back you up 100% because we know how hard you've tried, the effort you've put in and the love you have for your dogs. It's so sad to see her go but she'll instantly be pain-free and high tailin in outta here! She will thank you

 

[Angel Chicken]

Oh Saje... words cannot even express how much pain I feel for you right now.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

You are doing what is best, and we all commend you for that.

A-w-w-w Saje. This sucks! Can't some vet somewhere find out what is causing this? Is it that her kidneys are not functioning? Or what? I never got the whole thing straight. How old is she? I totally understand if there isn't anything possible that can fix her. And she can't go on feeling so poorly and depressed. It would be the only choice you have if there isn't someone who can fix her. Whatever you decide, you have my support. I'm so terribly sorry. (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I missed your last post while I was typing. God, I am so very sorry and sad for you. There are no right words I have to say. But Sush is so right. She'll instantly be free of all this and doesn't know about future and what you're doing. She'll be happy again. This just makes me cry as I know what you're going through all too well.

 

[~Jessie~]

I am sooo sorry I completely understand your decision, and you've done the best that you can for her. I'll keep you both in my thoughts.

Saje I really am so very sorry! Its such a hard choice to make and you've tried so hard to help her. (((((((((((((((HUGE HUGS))))))))))))) to you and Sakari.

 

[squirtsmom]

You know, you did everything humanly possible to help your pup. It's a hard decision, but you know you are making the best one for Sakari. God bless, HUGS to you.

Do you guys let your other dogs see the body so they can say goodbye? We used to do tha with our cats. Although I think the others all know she's sick.

 

[Renee750il]

Always.

 

[Whisper]

Oh, Shara. . . I'm so sorry. I know how hard you tried everything for her. We're behind you whatever happens.

When we had Coco put down, we did it at the house because he was too big to lift into a car. We let Daisy see the body and she ignored it, that's typically what they do since they don't understand that the body was once their friend. Again, I extend my condolences.

Saje this is so sad. You did everything you could do short of getting a miracle. Hugs to you and Steve.

When Buffy died, Bimmer washed her face one last time, then sat down next to her body and howled. They know. They need to say good-by, just like we do.
