I'm so sorry to read about Roo, I have been grieving over the lose of my dog for about a month now and haven't stopped, I cry everyday. It is so difficult to go through this, but we are so lucky to have this bond with our pets. Roo was a wonderful companion for you as Maggie was for me, but we now know that they are out of pain............. and we hope that someday we will meet them at Rainbow Bridge. I now know that this is a very difficult process, but I hope that someday you can find peace in knowing that she loved you so much and is now happy to be out of her pain. Peace forever to you. Susie

Oh I'm so very sorry to know that you are going through so much pain over Sophie. You loved her so, and because of that deep love for her your pain is even more intense. Maggie was my dog that I had to have put to sleep just 4 weeks ago today, and that was so very difficult. I still am sobbing, everyday, and often. Our pets become wonderful companions and buddys, and that makes it even more difficult when we have to say goodbye. I have to be happy that we had such a wonderful bond and that we can love so much. I'm hoping that you will find peace and love in your heart again. Susie

Maggie was my sweet shih tzu baby. I loved her like I never thought I could love anything. Last Feb. 27th, I made the final decision to put her down. The vet diagnosed her as having congestive heart failure and with fluid in her lungs which made it difficult for her to breath. That was the hardest thing I have ever had to do, and the sobbing and pain that goes with losing Maggie is overwhelming. I truly don't think that will ever go away. As pet owners we all know what a bond we can have with these wonderful creatures and that it only makes it more difficult for us when they are gone. I now have a big void in my heart, but I also have a very warm spot there because of her exisistence. Maggie was everything I could dream of in a companion, I feel like she understood everything about me that even my husband doesn't understand at times. I really do know that she is more comfortable now than she was during her last days here with me, but it still is so difficult to be here without her. She brought so much joy into my life and seemed the most perfect companion for me. Thank you all for taking your time to read this, I now know how it feels to lose a loved one. Thank you Maggie, you will always be #1 in my heart. Susie

Hi Cindi, Oh I sure feel like I know how you feel. On Feb. 27 I took Maggie to the vet because she was also not eating, lathargic, diahrea, not wanting to do much of anything but lay and sleep. She was like that for about 4 days, and finally I called her vet. I was devistated, she hadn't been ill up until then. The vet ran exrays and did ivs and diagnosed congestive heart failure with fluid in her lungs where she could barely get any oxygen into her lungs. I decided that was the time, and I mean it , it was the hardest thing I have ever ever done. Maggie was my best friend for 13 years, and I miss her sooooooo much and I'm sure you do Cookie. It happened 3 weeks ago today and I'm still sobbing. As you and I both know, Cookie and Maggie are much more comfortable and at peace, no more aches and pains. We are the ones with the pains, but we did the best for them, and that is what a true animal lover would do. It is so difficult for us, they warmed our hearts, where now I feel somewhat of a void there. I am trying to understand this but it is terribly difficult. I am so soooooooooo sorry about your Cookie, she was a lucky dog to be loved so dearly by you. I wish you peace. Susie
