Saying goodbye

[Dakota18]

So glad you were able to see her. She will remember that and all the good memories with the family. We had to put down our 14 year old six years ago during the end of July. Still think of him all the time, but especially around now.

What is so hard about losing your beloved dog is they take a part of you when they go away to heaven. Hang in there... Glad you got to say good bye!

I'm wiping away some tears, mainly of joy that you were able to go home and say goodbye. I've been able to hold all but two of mine and help them cross the bridge. The one that hurts the most was Ella, my first Lab. It was the spring of 1994, I was stationed at King Salmon, Alaska with the USAF. I could not take my family, as it was a remote assignment. They were in Utah, near my wife's family. I was able to call her daily, and one day she told me Ella had a growth on her back leg. I told her to take Ella to the vet and get it checked out. The vet said mostly likely bone cancer, and there was no treatment available. Less than three weeks later, the cancer had grown to the point where Ella could no longer walk. I told my wife to take her in and let her pass with dignity. She was only 12 when she passed.

I cried for days knowing she passed without me being there with her. To this day, 20+ years later, I still feel some guilt, and sadness I wasn't there for her.

So very sorry. Enjoy your last days with her. Spoil her rotten.

As is the case with all amazing dogs, Tori has lived past the vet's expectations. The past few weeks she really perked up and was enjoying eating and walks again. We knew our time with her like this was short and in the past 2 days she has gone downhill. Aside from when she is eating or when people walk in the room, she looks disconnected and uncomfortable. My dad is having to carry her outside to go to the bathroom.

The vet is coming to the house this afternoon and we say goodbye for real to an amazing dog who stuck with us through thick and thin. Our lives and our home will never be the same without her.

So very sorry. As heart as it is, you and the family show the deepest love by relieving her from illness and pain.

The up and down rollercoaster at end stage is very difficult to deal with. Sorry for your loss.
