| Comment | Thank you. She was a stubborn wee madam and fought very hard but I didn’t want her to suffer either. I was scared I’d keep her longer out of selfishness, not wanting to give her up, but my vet was sure I’d know when she was ready. In the end I was. She was still eating, drinking and being affectionate but I couldn’t miss how wobbly she was, and the wee spark in her eyes faded the last morning she woke me up to feed her. That’s when I made the appointment. She softly went to sleep while still licking away at her favourite treat, salmon mousse, in my arms. I’m heartbroken, but couldn’t have asked for a better way to let her go.
It’s the price we pay for such a beautiful friendship. My bond with Kasha is still so special and important to me, and I’m grateful for that despite the pain of losing her. I hope you have many, many years with your pup, and put off thinking about the tough part until you have to. Give him a wee snuggle for me. |
