My wife and I had a very hard day today.
This is extremely hard but, I need a release.

For the second time this year we lost one of our pets. Our loving cat of 14 years had her last visit to the vet. It was very hard to make the decision to take her but, she had deminished over the past couple of months. We did everything we possibly could for her and last week she had surgery to remove a lump in the back of her throat. Then two days ago we found out she had invasive cancer in her nose and throat. She stopped eating, playing and even purring. She struggled just to breath. She would just look into our eyes with a blank stare.
It was hard enough losing our dog and now this four months later. I feel a little lost and the house seems empty. I can only hope it was for the best.

Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Pets become such a big part of our life over the years. They are truly friends who love unconditionally. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
 
Thanks to all of you.

This is really hard for my wife. For the past month, she has gotten up every two hours just to make sure Pawz was eating and doing ok. Last night and this morning were difficult for her because after doing that for as long as she did, she still got up to take care of Pawz and would just break down when she realized Pawz was gone. I am here for her but, it's hard to see her going through this.

I know it was hard to make the decision, but you did the right thing for the animal. You can tell both you and your wife loved the animal, and went to great lengths to make the Pawz comfortable right up to the very end.

I am very sorry for the loss. I havent posted this for a while, so maybe this helps a little.


THE RAINBOW BRIDGE

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Sorry for your loss, It shows how much you cared that you were willing to help her along when the time came. There is no replacing a beloved friend.
 
We are so sorry for your loss, and we know how bad this hurts, we just lost one of our dogs and I still choke up when we talk about him. She is better now and watches over you.
 
I am very sorry about your kitty Pawz. I think that when you love an animal and it has been a part of your family that the loss is no different then any other family member. We put down out 14 year dog Teddy last month and I still look for him when I come home from work or go down to get coffee in the morning. My partner and kids look for him and really miss him also.
I hope that you and your wife can focus on how much love and comfort Pawz brought to you over the years.
Letting go is the greatest act of unselfish love.
