Dempsey Not Well

Dempsey is gone. We had to let him go about an hour ago and just got back home from U of I. I'm numb but my heart is shattering into little pieces. I don't think it has fully hit me. I felt at peace when I made the decision and knew if we pushed it further, it would be about me and not him.

 

An xray did not show another osteo tumor etc. I couldn't leave him in ICU for more meds and tests. He was in such a panic with being back there. There were no guarentees and with him only having 3 legs and being 12.5, I don't think he would have fully come back from this.

 

He was such a good, good boy and I told him that and that I loved him and that I'll see him again. I pray that I really did make the right decision. The is the first pet I've had to make the choice for and he was with me over 9 years. God, I love this dog.

 

Thanks for all the well wishes and support.

 

Hugs,

Heather

:cry1 I am so sorry! :grouphug:grouphug Only you know Dempsey, you did what you felt was the right thing to do...no second guessing :grouphug:grouphug Dempsey is running healthy whole and free with the rest of our Angels. May the love you shared together help heal your broken heart.

I was really hoping Demsey would pull through. I'm sorry that you had to let him go, but he is now running young and free again! :bighug:f_red:bighug:gh_run

Heather, I'm so sorry you had to let him go. Sometimes the right thing to do is by far the hardest.

 

Godspeed, gallant boy.

Oh Heather...you made the right decision...you and Dempsey both know that. I know how you are feeling...it seems in my case there is always that guessing...did we go too soon...too late? Remember Dempsey is not gone...he is away in a beautiful place surrounded by our Angels where he runs and plays on all 4...Where he watches over you...he thanks you for not letting him suffer. His spirit is with you always until you meet again. :grouphug

Your story is exactly what happened with my Rosie just 4 weeks ago. I certainly pray for your heart to heal. You really did do the right thing, you would have hated to see Dempsey live unable to get up on his legs and walk and it would have been so hard on him. He's running free now and enjoying his new life and you'll be together with him again soon. :gh_runner

:f_red So many broken hearts. Dempsey was so lucky to have you as his mom. His needs always came first. I am so very sorry, but he runs free of all pain. May you find comfort. God speed Dempsey
