Guest g8rvet Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 We had to put my beautiful girl to sleep last night...... she had been fighting chronic renal failure for too long. I wanted to stop before she quit 'having fun anymore'............. I have had her since she was 4 -- and she has been one of the best dogs in the world. A total people hound -- she preferred the companty of humans to other dogs. She *lived* for lure coursing -- it was the only time we ever heard her bark! Affectionate and full of love to the very end -- always ready to lick your face with stinky love. I guess I came here to find people who understand....... I am a vet -- I do this all the time................. but this is different...... she was 'broken and I couldn't fix her' according to my 5yo daughter.

Fiona3 Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I am so sorry for your loss. Mocha was a beautiful girl and part of your family. It never is easy to say goodbye, even it it is to spare them pain and suffering. You are definitely not alone and we all understand what you are feeling. May you and your family find comfort for your heartache and find healing in the wonderful memories of your sweet greyhound.

Guest shadesofgrey Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Sorry to have to welcome you to Greytalk on such a sad occasion. We certainly do understand your loss, grief, frustration at "not being able to fix her". I can only imagine that as a vet, that could be even more difficult to swallow. Don't let any "shoulds" get in the way of your feelings. No matter how many times you've dealt with similar situations at work, etc. is is just not the same as losing one you love so much. Mocha was a member of the family and always will be. My thoughts are with you. Mocha was a beautiful girl and she will always be with you in your heart. Hugs to you.

Aerosmom Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 It is a very sad way to be introduced to the GreyTalk community, but you will find lots of wise words here to help you with your sorrow. I've never lost a grey, so I can only imagine the pain, but I'm sure as time passes you'll remember all the wonderful years you had with her. I'm sure you did everything and more that you could to help her. My heart goes out to you.

I know that in time the pain will be replaced by the joy of your memories of Mocha. It is the greatest gift of love, and the toughest, to let them go with dignity.

silverfish Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I'm so sorry. Mocha was beautiful .. .I lost a lovely white girl to kidney cancer a while back. Such a horrible thing. We thought she just had age-related renal failure for a long while. No matter if you're a vet, it still hurts when it's one of your own beloved dogs.
