There are several here who can explain more in depth what we are dealing with right now. My heart is just broken and I hardly have the strength to describe the situation, but our Murphy (senior Lab girl) is at the end of her life and I'm doing everything in my power to keep her comfortable until Scott can get home late tonight.

I just wanted you to know why I may be absent, or short of words (very unusual for me, I know).

Please keep Murphy in your thoughts and prayers. She has lived a very long, wonderful life and we owe it to her to keep her from suffering any further.

Oh Logan, my heart goes out to you. Many hugs for you & Murphy. I wish there was something I could do or say to make it all better for you both. She sure is loved & she knows it.

May her journey to the bridge be an easy one.

Logan, I'm so sorry! This is the hardest part of loving an animal!

Murphy may your journey to the bridge be short and peaceful. You are loved so very much and will take that love with you. You will be surrounded by millions of our dear animals who will watch over you and show you around.

(((HUGS))) for Murphy and the entire family. :(

I'm sorry for your impending loss. You are doing what's best for her even though it hurts you greatly. From the sounds of it she lived a very long and happy life and you will be able to treasure those happy memories even through the sadness. Godspeed Murphy. Hugs to the whole family.

Logan,

I have been away from PT for a few days & just now reading about
Murphy. :( I pray that Murphy is granted a peaceful passing to Rainbow
Bridge. It is so hard to see those end days of life for our dearly loved
friends. (((HUGS))) Liz

Reading all of your kind words brings tears to my eyes, my friends. Thank you all so much. I hope I have been able to bring a tenth of the comfort that you all have provided for me today when you have been, or will be, in the same position.

Our Murphy is comfortable right now, with her friend, Lilly, nestled beside her. We have been outside a couple of times today in the bright sunshine. I am so grateful that I knocked that wine over on my laptop on Sunday night, now....funny how things like that work out for the best, so I could be home with her. EDIT: Honey has taken Lilly's place now, bless her heart, still leaving Murphy a lot of room.

I'm trying to avoid the details of what I am dealing with, but it is not good. Dr. Robinson and I talked on the phone, earlier, and he is providing me another medication to help with nausea now, but she must eat something to get it down. He feels, as I predicted, that the mass that was found in her abdomen yesterday is obstructing her intestines. There is no need for testing at this point, because we couldn't/wouldn't do anything other than keep her comfortable.

I just want my husband to come home. I actually got angry with him this morning, for a short while, since he was gone and I was here to deal with the heartbreak and the mess (selfish thoughts on my part). Those thoughts quickly disappeared. I know he wants to be here for me and for Murphy and I will handle it until he is. He will be home late tonight, but our vet will not be back in his office until Friday morning. Bless his heart, he offered to meet us later tonight, but not knowing when Scott would arrive, I did not want to ask him to devote that time, plus, my husband might not be ready yet. We will do our best for her in the meantime. I have such an understanding boss, who knows my animals and also has suffered losses, himself. Bless his soul for helping me feel better about devoting time for Murphy. My cats and dogs have been almost strange, as if they "honor" Murphy and understand. Mimi, my senior kitty, who is already 16 years old, slept with me last night. She never does that...and I needed her to. Butter has spent the majority of his time in my lap while I was resting or at the computer. And the Goldens........bless their souls, they just surround her.

I'm so sad.......I can hardly bear it, friends. Thank you again for helping me to not be so alone.

Dear Logan, I actually signed on to Pet Talk to post another thread to request prayers for my neighbor's dog, Rusty.

Then I saw this..................Oh, how I do know your pain and my eyes
are filled with tears right now. We never, ever have them with us long enough do we?

It is so tender to read how you are receiving comfort from the rest of your fur family. They know far more than we ever give them credit for.

You have my prayers, Logan and I am so very sorry you have to go through this.

Love, Gini

I just got to this thread. I remember reading some years ago( I've been trying to find where I read it) where a poodle had a large cancerous mass in his chest, and it was pushing the other organs to the side . The vet said to put the dog down. Instead, the dog was given , over time ( I don't remember them saying how much at each dose) two bottles of bovine cartilage and the mass dissolved to the complete astonishment of everyone involved . Health food stores sell bovine cartilage.

Scott arrived home late last night, after 9. His children, their mother and stepfather were here to see Murphy. It was a very emotional time. Awkward for me, but she has been a huge part of all of their lives and I tried to handle it ok. Scott came home and was at least able to see Andrew and then he sat there, stroked that sweet girls's head and I almost had to force him to bed at 12:30 or so. We got up twice with Murphy during the night.

After I took Helen to school this morning, I went to the grocery store and bought Frosty Paws. I thought maybe Murphy would enjoy the cold treat since she had not been eating or drinking. She had no interest.

Scott, who was sitting beside Murphy, petting her and looking at her, and I talked again, then, and he said "what should we do?" and I told him he already knew my thoughts, Dr. Robinson's thoughts and I knew he knew what needed to happen. Then I called Patsy at Dr. Robinson's office and she said she was equipped and able to handle this if Scott was ready. He was not, very much still in doubt. I described to him what was happening in Murphy's body, dehydration, pain, etc. She was already shutting down. I doubt she would have lasted until Friday. I told him I simply could not let her suffer and I knew he didn't want to either. Shortly after that, my husband told me he was ready.

We put her in the Expedition, just like I did the other day and Scott rode on the seat beside her while I drove. It was quiet and neither one of us said a word. I just held his hand and he kept his other hand on Murphy. Patsy gave her that first injection that made her relax even more than she already was and left us with her for as long as we wanted.

Our Murphy departed for the bridge around 9:45 am. It was very peaceful and she had the two people she loved the most right beside her the entire time. As sad as I am, I feel a huge sense of relief that our girl is no longer suffering.

Our Murphy will be cremated, then we will bury her ashes in a special place in our yard. I plan to get a small stone engraved to signify this special girl's life.

My husband came home and washed her bowl and placed it in the windowsill. It will take me forever to not look for that girl leaning up against the entertainment center on her "big" bed.or have her dancing under my feet when she was ready to eat. I fell apart this morning when I was feeding the others and kept looking to see if she would show any interest, but she didn't.

Thank you all. I love you all so much. I loved that Lab girl so much too. I think I'm going to go bury my head in a Golden Retriever. Do you know that it was Honey's 7th birthday yesterday and I totally forgot? One of my friends, Debi, remembered, and wished Honey a Happy Birthday. We may delay our celebration a bit, but we will definitely do something eventually.

It's going to be a hard Christmas.

She is happy now, and no longer hurting, and as much as you will miss her she will miss you and be so happy for the day you see each other again. I have tears rolling down my cheeks for your loss and pain and I am very sorry. Her spirit will always be there with you and you will know it. Wishing your family all the best.

As for Christmas, God will provide the peace that passes all understanding so this Christmas will be a blessing in some way. We can never see why or what until time has passed but you will look back and see a blessing out of this Christmas season somewhere.

God's Speed to the bridge sweet Murphy. You will be forever greatly loved.

Even though right now it doesn't seem this way, the fact that she lived a good life, a long life, and knowing you did what was best for her in the end will someday comfort you. For now, I couldn't think of anything that would be more comforting than to "bury my head in a Golden Retriever." {{{hugs}}}

May we all go so peacefully, with a final goodbye to those we loved, and comforted by those two we loved the most. RIP, sweet Murphy, RIP. You have left holes so big in the hearts of your humans, and your fur siblings. May time slowly close them, with the warm memories of you inside tightly.

Your struggles are over
Your suffering done
Still your dark eyes shine
Forever in our hearts.
Sweet Murphy
With the whitened face of a graceful old age
Who in your own Labby way
Wagged your way into so many hearts
Watch over your family
We know it is a big job, so many to look after
But we know your heart is big enough
To hold them all, to hold us all
And when we see a yellowgold light on a tree
Or a flickering gold candle flame
We will think of you, this Christmas season
For surely you shine brighter even than those earthly lights
From your spot at the Rainbow Bridge.

I met all of you long after my most recent loss (before Murphy). Today has been one of the sweetest, yet most horrible, days of my life. I just wanted to say to all of you that I have sympathized with, expressed concern for, etc, that I probably never really understood or was able to express my concern before today.

Karen, thank you for your sweet words. I am sending them to Scott. We are both having a horrible time, as is Helen. In fact, Helen said "don't tell me", even though she knew......she just said she couldn't be sad again tonight because of her school responsibilities.........it just kills me.

Thank you all, but thank you especially, Cinder and Smokey......sweet words that mean so much.

I truly do appreciate all of you and your words of comfort. I will be back maybe tomorrow.

Dear Logan,

I'm so sorry to hear about your most beautiful Morgan girl. I remember reading about her for the first time, and seeing her pictures. There's just something so special about senior labbies. I have always loved senior labbies, and I saw Morgan's sweet face and I just melted. She lived a good life. She was very blessed to have been with you for her last years, I know you were a blessing to her.

It really sounded like her trip to the rainbow bridge went very peacefully. It's very comforting to know that a loved one had a peaceful parting from this earth. I know it hurts, but it's also a blessing that she didn't suffer long. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope every day gets a little bit easier.

Logan I sit here in tears after reading this thread. I knew the time would come all too soon to send your sweet Murphy to the Rainbow Bridge. I'm sorry that your all having such a hard time with her passing and wish there was something I could do for you. I'm only a pm away if you need anything at all.

I'm so lucky to have been able to meet your sweet Murphy girl. Do you remember the pictures I took of her the day I was there when she had her big bone? She was so happy.

Now she'll have an unlimited supply of big bones:)

You and your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers as you deal with your heartbreak.

All my love
Anna

Logan I'm so sorry to hear about Murphy. She seemed like the sweetest dog you could ask for, and very much loved. I know how hard it is to lose a pet because you are also losing a family member. {{{Hugs}}} to you and your family.

I'm very sorry about your dog Murphy. It sounds like she left peacefully surrounded by love, which is the best one can ever hope for. Sharing your life with a pet that you love deeply is so wonderful, but it's very hard to say goodbye. I'm sure you'll see her again one day though and she knows how much you love her.

I am typing through tears. The way you express your love for your girl is so beautiful. I am so sorry for your loss, but be comforted knowing that she is whole, young, and watching over you.

I am so glad to hear that Murphy got to see her family one last time. I loved hearing that your other furkids knew it was her time, and came to comfort her and you. That is so beautiful, and it is something you will cherish forever.

Rest well, sweet Murphy. You are missed.

Oh...... I really don't know what to say, other that I love you, Murph, girl.. I know what it's like to have q Murphy girl die, that same people who used to have Bella bean, (the tri-color ESS), had a black/white Murphy girl, who had the sweetest face ever, (besides Beans face). I will always remember Bella and Murphy, my to favorite Springer Spaniels ever. As I sit here in tears, Logan, I want to give you my deepest symplthy, twards dearest Murphy girlie. She lived a wonderful life, and she was very loved. Logan... I am so sorry. :( :( :(

I sit here thinking why? why? did Bella Rose have to dart across the street after a cat, and get hit by a car...I can just imagine that, so horrible. She was only 3 years old.

I have a new computer now, after the crash of the old one.

It is so very, very sad to come back to the heartbreaking news of Murphy's passing. I know EXACTLY how you are feeling right now. My heart (what's left of it) goes out to you, Logan, and your family. I know the pain you are going through right now. I am so very glad that you and Scott were able to be there to send her gently on her way to Rainbow Bridge. I am also glad that those who loved her were able to see her, too.
I was crying my eyes out as I read this thread. Murphy had a wonderful life and I know she is watching over you now from RB. I hope Killian and Shiloh were able to introduce themselves and show Murphy around RB.
Again, I am so very sorry for your great loss..........I can't type any more because my tears are clouding my eyes.............
Big hugs.

Logan

Though I am new here, I would like to offer my condolences, I know only too well to pain, especially how difficult it is when the loss occurs during the Christmas Season, my 2 heart dogs both passed around christmas.

My suggest to you, light a candle in her honor , and allow her spirit to be with you during your Christmas celebration, have the family share their joyous happy memories of her as a gift to her, there will be tears but these are the tears to help heal the pain each of you feel
