You have took a very unselfish step to help your Sally, she will be at peace and out of pain now. You did the right thing Hun. My thoughts are with you at this hard time for you
Run free sweet Sally. You will be pain free at the bridge
Sue am so so so sorry
Losing one of our dearset friends which is what they are is so hard and heartbreaking have had to do the final act of kindness three times with mine and it still bloody hurts even now 10 years on after my first boy You know it's the right and kindest thing to do but at the same time feel so so guilty I don't know what to say to you except that she is no longer in pain and it was the kindset thing you could have done for your girlie. She is happy and pain free now . You will feel better but it will take time.
My thoughts are with you and am sending you a massive massive hug XXX
Run free sweet Sally have fun over the bridge in those lovely green fields XXX
I am so sorry to hear about Sally .
I know exactly how you feel.You have done the best thing for her.I know it hurts like hell and will continue to do so for a long long time.Please remember all the good times you had and all the love you shared.
Memories are very special.
I know exactly the pain you are feeling, having been there a few too many times myself. Allow yourself to grieve, don't try to be brave. It does get easier with time but you will never forget all the wonderful times you had with your girl, it just becomes less painful to remember.
You did the right thing, you put Sally before your own feelings and that is a wonderful, unselfish thing to do.
We are all thinking of you at this sad time, here is a little something that helped us .
I will lend to you for awhile
a puppy, God said,
For you to love him while he lives
and to mourn him when he is gone.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years
or maybe two or three
But will you, till I call him back
take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you
and (should his stay be brief)
you'll always have his memories
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise that he will stay,
since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught below
I want this pup to learn.
I've looked the whole world over
in search of teachers true
And from the folk that crowd life's land
I have chosen you.
How will you give him all your love
Nor think the labour vain
Nor hate me when I come
to take my pup back again.
I fancied that I heard them say
"Dear Lord, Thy Will be Done,"
For all the joys this pup will bring,
the risk of grief you'll run.
Will you shelter him with tenderness
Will you love him while you may
And for the happiness you'll know
forever grateful stay.
But should I call him back
much sooner than you've planned
Please brave the bitter grief that comes
and try to understand.
If by your love, you've achieved,
in memory of him that you've loved,
cherish every moment
with your faithful bundle,
and know he loved you, too.
