Putting Belle to sleep

[Dixie Belle]

I think the last time I posted I told you about Belle being paralized. We did a treatment on her that helped her regain use of her hind legs. Unfortunatly, another spot in her back has broken and she is paralized again. After alot of talking, we have decided to put her to sleep. She has several vertabras in her back that are damaged, and her hips are messed up. She is eating, but rapidly loosing weight. This has been a very hard decsion for us to make, but we feel we have made the right one.

I'm taking her this afternoon. Everyone please pray for us.

[Karen]

Oh dear, Dixie.

It does sound like right thing to do, without a doubt, but that never seems to make it less painful in the end.

Give her a great big Saintly hug for me, because she's your great big girl, and tell her to look for Freckles and Bruni at the Rainbow Bridge, and they'll bring her right over to my Mom, who always had a very special place in her heart for Saint Bernards.

Of course you're in our prayers.

[Corinna]

Heartfelt sorrow foryou .Hugs and prayers . I know it's hard but we know when it's time to let our best freinds be pain free. Please know I'm thinking of you and Belle.
Merlin will be at the bridge to meet her and show her around heaven.

[Miss Z]

I'm so sorry. But you are doing the kindest thing you can for Belle, she can pass away peacefully and pain free. I deeply sympathise, you and Belle will be in my thoughts:(

So sorry to hear you have to put your dog Belle to sleep. It is a hard decision to make & have been through it with a dog we had long ago. He could no longer move his hind legs & cried because he could not get up & help us herd cattle. He was a working dog & loved to help us on the farm. His name was Buster & we still talk about him to this day. God Bless You & Belle & good thoughts & prayers are being sent your way.

[Sudilar]

You have my heartfelt sympathy. I know EXACTLY what you are feeling. Just a bit more than 2 months ago, I had to do the same. I still hurt terribly.

The Final Battle

If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep
Then you must do what must be done
For this, the last battle, can't be won.
You will be sad- I understand
Don't let your grief then stay your hand
For this day, more than all the rest
Your love and friendship stand the test.
We've had so many happy years
What is to come can hold no fears
You'd not want me to suffer, so
When the time comes, please let me go.
I know in time you too will see
It is a kindness that you do for me
Although my tail, it's last has waved
From pain and suffering I've been saved.
Don't grieve that it should have to be you
Who has decided this thing to do
We've been so close, we two, these years
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
