I always knew.....

Good Morning Family,

      Well it's 7:34 a.m., and I sit here this morning heartbroken typing through my tears.    My little one ( chihuahua ) has taken a dramatic turn for the worse...and I know that it's time to say goodbye; however, my vet's office doesn't open until 8:00 this morning, and I've call to let him know we are coming.

     I always knew it would be inevitable that this would come, and for the short time the meds that she was placed on back in February seem to be helping her until now.  Even now I pray that Heavenly Father would intervene somehow... I've been up most of the night with her into the wee hours this morning praying.    Many of you know me and my kids.  She is the one that is posted on this forum in the picture with me.  Please continue to pray for me and my home today that Heavenly Father will give her, me , and my heart His peace that passeth all understanding!!!!  

     Thank you for allowing me to share this part of my life with you all....

Yours in Christ,
Rick

so sorry to hear of this, I went though this with my beloved Sweetie a few years ago now...just remember, after you get through your sadness, someday soon you'll only think of her with a smile, as I do now with Sweetie....

and what a happy life she had while she was here with you!, and how you made all the difference for her life!...it's always hard to realize they just don't spend as much time on earth as most of us...you'll have her forever in your heart anyway, we dog lovers know your pain! Be well!

May you feel our Father's comfort, peace, and love as you go thru this painful time...my heart is with you...

Blessings, Julie

It's always a difficult time when we have to part with our loyal, loving & noble pets. I've been there many times, myself.  I'm so sorry to hear you are going thru it at this time.

This is very hard to get through but you will.  You will have the memories of her forever and no one can take that away from you.

My heart  reaches out to you and your little one. I too have had to go through this before and I know how much it hurts. My little guy (17 y.o. Shih Tzu) is like my own shadow and almost daily now I think the time is soon and it scares me so, he's my best friend.  Please know you are in my prayers and thoughts.

I am so sorry.... I know exactly what you are going thru.. I had to put down my mamma doberman who was 15 this year, in Jan..  Right after starting treatment.  It was heartbreaking.   I had her cremated, and I found this cool headstone that you put the ashes in, and its got a nice phrase on it, that if memories & tears could build stairs, you'd be on your way to bring them back home again..

I have it out by the pool.. her favorite place...  Now you got me all teary, I am not sure of my spelling.. LOL     Just the other nite we were talking about how funny she was, all the little things that made her Cessna..    I havePiper her daughter still, who is 12, and Oreo,  Mikes shep/lab is 15, so I still have to go thru this again..     I think I will take a break from animals for awhile.   Its so hard planning to go away.. we have to have a baby sitter,... Or maybe get a little one like yours.  I had one as a child and he took away my ashma.       But then I could take with me on vacation. LOL  

But I love big dogs.. I love my dobies.   I had one more sister too.. named zsa zsa, but she went with my ex, and he gave her away..    She was a beautiful red dobie.. she was attached to my hip..  In fact I should post that picture of her.. litterly attached to my hip.. LOL        I was there when she quietly went to sleep.   I was tore up for months.  I miss her alot.    But I have alot of funny memories of her, and times I wanted to strangle her, as she got up in age, she had a fedish for paper.. didnt matter what kind.  toilet paper, tissues, money, important documents, pictures..and even the boys homework.... LOL  anything she could reach..    Those things I do not miss.   But you will remember the good times and smile..   maybe you should consider having her cremated.  It only cost $100 here..  And I figure after all the money I have spent on her, ,whats $100..       I spent 3500.00 last year on Piper and Cessna combined.  Piper has cancer, but she seems to be doing fine.     Old age will get her first I feel.    

Well my prayers are with you and your little one.    Its hard to keep your chin up.... but try..  Remember the good times.

Ohhhh, Rick, I'm so sad for you.  Poor Pansy . . . .

But at least she has you there with her and you do have another little friend who needs you . . .

But it's heartbreaking.  In addition to the flock, i also have a very old, very deaf, blind arthritic Bichon.  To tell you the truth, I find myself hoping I'll wake up one morning and find she's passed peacefully in her sleep.

I can't deal with what you're going through.  Of course if i have to . . . and it looks like I will . . .    .

I promise that you'll cry - but in the truth of it all -- it is superbly beautiful and a wonderful tribute.

My hugs out to you!

Oh Rick, I haven't been on the forum in ages and now I read this with tears in my eyes. I know you love your baby, and my heart is breaking for you.
I'm not good at quoting scripture like you and other's here, but the first time we "talked" here, I quoted something from a special book I read, by Max Lucado.
Here's another quote, but first read Luke 18:7...

God's Good Timing
Why does God wait till the money is gone? Why does he wait until the sickness has lingered? Why does he choose to wait until the other side of the grave to answer prayers for healing?
I don't know. I only know his timing is right. I can only say he will do what is best....
Though you hear nothing, he is speaking. Though you see nothing, he is acting. With God there are no accidents. Every incident is intended to bring us closer to him.

His whispers spoke to me this week, I sent a package out Wed, priority mail.
Love,
Bug

I'm so sorry.  Hopefully you'll be able to take comfort in knowing that you provided her a loving home.  I know it is difficult, but, knowing the right time to let go is also the most loving thing you can do.
Again, I'm sorry.
