My heart goes out to you TFB. I can't imagine how difficult it is. I almost lost my Viktor last year and didn't know how I'd get through it. Hang in there, and be at peace with knowing you're doing the right thing.

Saying goodbye is so very difficult. I'm keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers.

it makes you want to swear off another animal for good...

I didn't just want to. I did. But one day, more than a decade later, a furry little stray -- not a kitten, but not yet fully mature -- Maine Coon cat trotted across my front lawn, and he reminded me of... and I chirruped at him... and he froze in his tracks, turned, looked at me, and trotted over chattering his little head off and sat on my foot. From that day forward, he stuck to me like glue. It's going on 11 years now, and he still does. I know I'm going to have to lose him some day, and I know it's going to hurt like hell. But he's worth it.

She was sent to play with Sparky with love and a gentle touch, surrounded with her family.

Old Jake was a 155# wolf hybrid that I adopted when he was old (I sold the house where he lived). We bonded in a short time even though he bit he HARD once. When he had bone cancer, I carried him out so he could do his business. Finally, he looked Me and said, "it's time". I slept on the floor with him that last night and held him as he drew his last.
His ashes are buried in the back yard under the grape vine where he used to like to hang out.

I miss that big old furry SOB

Sparky had an auto immune disorder that made his own body think his blood was an enemy an his kidneys started to fail. Ginger had LymphoSarcoma, and the tumors were in her throat an chest cavity and in her liver apparently and finally, her breasts. She had a good send off. I will always be with them till the last if I can.

I don't spend a lot of time in the forums here, so I really don't know any of the people here, including the OP, but as I read all the posts I find my eyes filling with tears yet again. Like another commenter, it has been two years this month since my last dog was put down.

Well, I say my dog, but in reality, she had become so much more. My wife ath the time talked me in to a breed I really didn't care for, but one look at that little ball of fur and I was in love. She was officially our dog, but ironically, she acted more like mine. That changed the day we brought or son home from the hospital. From that day on she was HIS. The condition that killed her was an autoimmune disease that attacked her own red blood cells, robbing her body of oxygen and energy. She was completely helpless and unable to lift her head at the end, but when I told the vet that my son was being brought in to say goodbye, and she heard me mention him by name, she mustered the energy to sit up -- the last act she ever made. When they euthanized her, we were there with her, petting her and praising her, letting her know she had pleased us to the end. She let out a little sigh and was gone.

When we take a pet, we make two commitments: To keep them as long as they live, and to let them go when it's their time to die. I couldn't ask her to go on suffering just because I couldn't bear to say goodbye. You've done the right thing, as hard as it was, and I commend you, and shed some of these tears on your behalf.

*hugs* You know it's only been 2 months since I allowed my Chloe to cross the Rainbow Bridge. I hurt for you because I know how difficult it is to make that decision, but how it becomes necessary to prevent them from suffering.

I am sending prayers of comfort and peace to you and your family, from me, the Things, and my little group of non-human family members here in VA.

From that day forward, he stuck to me like glue. It's going on 11 years now, and he still does. I know I'm going to have to lose him some day, and I know it's going to hurt like hell. But he's worth it.

K.

My parents keep saying the same...but it appears to me as if a spirit from a previous cat is preventing that to happen.

Their cat died in approx. 2001.

Now, since she died my parents said no more cat...and they meant it...but then...our GP who has his garden right below our garden but lives with his house in a different road, found a kitten at their house...and they admitted that they arent pet people...so they thought what to do...where then their nurse came into play who told them that we just lost our cat, so they called us. Mum was a bit hesitant but I took her in anyway, saying if you don't take her I will rehome her with a colleague who was looking for a cat at that time...

now...that cat stayed for approx. 4 years and then died on cancer (she was the one who was run over at the end by a family friend).

Again, my parents said...no cat...and again they meant it...but again they got a call from our GP...as this time a woman had walked into their surgery as she had catched a feral cat and her 3 kitten and was now looking for homes for them...so again...that nurse (she is a friend of my parents) gave my parents a call....after all, she knew....they had just lost their cat again...

and so again, they had a cat again (two cats to be precisely as at first they had one and then this woman came again to my parents with a cat who looked the same, following which my mum told her that she has hers and sent her back...but then my dad blamed her for doing so, following which my mum managed to find her again and then took on that sister cat, too).

Now they have them since 5.5 years and I hope that whenever they have to enter that rainbow bridge that their friend will still be working at that GP...as otherwise...they might not get a call again...from that GP...due to kittens which appear exactly then when they lost theirs...

I simply don't believe on "coincidence" in that respect considering it happend only twice ever that kittens came to that surgery and on both occassions it was right after they lost their cat...I believe that a spirit from a previous cat might have her claws in those events....just my view
