Diane, I am so sorry to hear this! My sympathy's are with you. Run pain free Rob Roy! Play with the rest of the angels.

So sorry for your loss. Run with the angels Lotus!

Absolutely Perfect!

Oh Trish! How devastating! I am so sorry. I really wish there was something I could have done for him. As you told me...Tonight I will look for a new bright star in the Heavens and think of your lovely Billy. I am sure Thunder greeted him. Hopefully Kona will find him too. Take care of yourself and your family in this difficult time. You are in our prayers! Run pain free sweet Billy! We allknow how much you will be missed.

I am so sorry for your loss! Tigger was so lucky to have you, and you him. I loved seeing pictures of that amazing smiling boy. Heaven has a new star now...a smiling one! He will send you a sign that he made the journey just fine. And I am sure you will still feel his presence in your house with you whenever you need him. Please take care!

I am so sorry DeVon! Cherish the memories with Lori Ann. There will come a day...somewhere in the distant future...that you will smile more than cry. If there is anything we can do, let us know. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss. I think this is the only negative to having a pet, the day you loose them. May your memories bring you comfort.

I am so sorry for your loss. Hopefully time will stop the tears.

I cried and cried, from the depths of my soul and felt sick with pain and sadness. I felt devastated, not only because they were gone and I could never cuddle and play with them again, but because I had authorized their death. As they lay on the Vet's table, they looked up at me with deep brown eyes of adoration, loyalty and trust - and I put them to sleep. I sobbed and sobbed with absolute despair. At 11.30am on Saturday, our beautiful girls were gone and although my common sense told me it was the right thing to do for them, my heart was breaking and it didn't feel right for me. How could it, I have been with them almost every day for 14 years, and the fun and love we have shared is priceless. I feel your pain as do so many others and am so sorry for you. I think that is the hardest thing we ever have to do with pets. I sit here crying knowing how much you hurt. I am sorry for that. As I was told by a wise GTer recently when we had to do this with our 14 year old girl, there will come a day that you smile more than cry. Look forward to that day and cherish the memories always! That was an amazing tribute!

If you are good with a sewing machine, here is a link to the patterns for Grey goods. http://www.bark.addr.com/pat/instruct.html I just bought material today, my mom is going to make the coat...like it or not! She is good at sewing, I am not!

Kona taught me the true meaning of unconditional love! I think this girl was more human than dog. She also taught trust and forgiveness. I was getting knots out of her fur and clipped her. Oh I felt bad. She forgave me and would come over to be clipped trusting I would not do it again. She was the most amazing dog I have ever had! I am grateful she was a part of my life for 14 1/2 years!

I have heard Adequan injections can make a world of differnce for some dogs and nothing for others and you won't know until you finish the series of shots at $100 a shot. We use the Synovi G3. Our vet recommended that as it is almost the pill form of adequan. It is suppose to do the same thing. It takes 6 weeks to notice. Both my girls take it. Seems to be working here. I thought that might be the "P" medicine you were talking about. Works wonders here!!! Huge difference in 1 dose! Our Kona used aspirin for years. She did the best on that and the vet said that was fine for her. For her it was a quality of life thing over future damage since she was getting very old. All depends on the dog...

My girl is only 2 with arthritis. She is on Previcox (Firacoxib) every day, 227mg. I can half it if she is under control with the limping. I asked my vet about long term effects, he said it is very safe. She will need it long term since she is sooooo young! I also have her on Synovi G3. It is a great joint supplement. I get mine from Omahavaccine.com. $35 for a bottle of 120. They take 1 a day for 6 weeks then go to half tablet. Shanti is doing great on this stuff.

So sorry for the loss of your kitty. I must say, that is the biggest cat I have ever seen!

What a wonderful tribute! I am so sorry for your loss. I am sure she will send you a sign really soon.

I am so sorry for your loss. Making the choice to cross our pets over is probably one of the worst ones you have to make...but if they are in pain and nothing is helping, it is a gift to them to stop their suffering. I know how bad it hurts, I did it last month for my old baby. Time will help slow the tears. Cherish the memories!

I have heard of the effects Rimidyl can have. I kept my pups off it. I am so sorry you were one of the ones that had the horrible effect! Forgive yourself as you did the best you could do. Thank you for sharing this.

I have lost horses and oh how it hurts! I am so sorry for you. I am stunned he lived 38 years! WOW what a life! Cherish the memories. I am sure you have lots of special ones with 20 years to choose from! Hugs to you.

I just signed up again and tossed my old as of 10/25. Thanks for fixing it!

I am so sorry to hear this! I am sure he is up and running around with lots to see and do. Not to mention your gang that greeted him! He is in amazing company. Go play among the angels...

I can't tell you how many times I have prayed for one to go in their sleep. Never happened I just went through this. God how I wished she made the choice instead of me. That was the hardest part! In my heart I know it was right, but it does not make it easy...ever. I feel your pain! I have since made my other girls promise they will peacefully go in there sleep. Selfish...Yep! But I also know they won't necessarily hold up their end of this deal. I don't know how you get past what you are feeling...I haven't either. Just know you have all kinds of support here. Many of us have gone through it!

One month later...I still miss you like crazy! Our lives are not the same, but we are continuing. Keep sending the signs baby girl! I love the peace it brings me. Hope you are enjoying to the fullest up there!

I am so sorry the search ended as it did. Bless you and all the others who spent sleepless nights and endless hours searching. We will be thinking of you in this difficult time. Don't be too hard on yourself...YOU WERE OUT LOOKING FOR HIM! Prayers to you.

I am so sorry for you loss! You had to go through what I would consider the HARDEST thing in my life. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Cat will send you a sign...keep an eye out for it. The tears will slow a bit after some time (I think you run out ) and someday you will smile more than cry. I may take a long time...but it will happen.

This brings tears to my eyes as it is so true. Very sweet! Thank you for sharing this.
