Subject: Lost another furry baby.

Our sweet Lila girl passed away this morning at 5:30. It was so hard. My oldest daughter and I took turns staying with her so she wouldnt be alone. She was the sweetest dog and will be missed by all of my family. Thank you all for the good thoughts.

[> I know how you feel - it's just awful losing a pet - it's hard for folks to understand you can love your pets as much as your children - and since I have both I know it's true. I know it's hard to think of but I strongly encourage you to consider adopting a new pet - it helps ease the hurt and although you can never replace the loved pet - it does a heart good to share love with a pet that needs you and might have otherwise been put to sleep. -- chris k, 10:35:08 08/01/11 Mon [1]

[> [> We have 2 other dogs and a cat. I think we are covered in the loving pet department. I feel bad for getting the kids hopes up since I had ordered that holistic medicine and we really thought it was helping. She just refused to drink anything and I tried so hard to syringe feed her enough fluids. I really believe it was her time. I do wish I could have known how bad it would be at the end and how sacrey it would be for the kids. I would have had her euthenized last week. -- TF, 10:57:01 08/01/11 Mon [1]

[> [> [> I'm so sorry for your loss, TF. I dont know what I'd have done if I were in your place. When we had to have our Oscar put down, we didnt have little ones at home. Our youngest was deployed overseas, we didnt tell him until he came home. My first thought is that you were so caring to be there for your pet until the end. -- mkim, 11:13:05 08/01/11 Mon [1]

[> [> [> I've been through this heartbreak so many times and it never gets easier. You lost a member of the family and it hurts deeply. I've learned to sense when I need to go to the vet because nothing is working and it is only going downhill. Even my kids ask me, "Is it time, Mom?" I don't usually wait very long when I see it coming for everyone's sake. You have my deepest sympathy, TF. -- jenks, 13:16:32 08/01/11 Mon [1]

[> [> [> [> Unfortunately my vet was out of townand thenearest pet ER is 40 miles away. Everytime I tired to move her she had a seizure so I felt it best to let her be and make her as comfortable as possible. Thank you all for the condolences. -- TF, 13:54:06 08/01/11 Mon [1]

[> [> [> [> [> You did the right thing, IMHO. One night very late, my Irish Setter became very ill. I put her on a puffed quilt, lay down beside her and told her it was okay to go to sleep. She died in my arms and we went to the vet the next day to cremate her. It was a tough call, but the right thing to do at the time. -- jenks, 08:45:08 08/02/11 Tue [1]

[> I am so sorry that you lost a member of your family. We lost our wonderful lab mix last year. Trainer was a stray that found my hubby. He was faithful and so very loveable. Pets are so much a part of the family. You have my deepest sympathy. -- Martian Barb missing an old friend., 15:40:23 08/01/11 Mon [1]

[> I feel so sad for you. Pets have personalities, and we miss them terribly when they die. Because they are so sweet and trusting, we always feel we've let them down somehow. But you didn't. Your little guy was with the people whom he loved, and that would have helped him through the pain and discomfort. You did the right thing. -- Cece, 14:11:38 08/03/11 Wed [1]

[> If your pet had to go, that was the way to do it. Surrounded by comfort and love. How very sad! You're in my thoughts. -- Theresa, 22:40:52 08/06/11 Sat [1]
