I think it might be Thunders time to go?

I am so sorry aboout Thunder. What kind of dog is he?
I remember how hard it was when my collie died. I got her when I was 7 years old and she was 10 weeks. She was my best friend and I use to carry her everywhere with me. We grew up together...
Monzaya got a tumor that came up on her stomach and it was as big as a grapefruit..we carried her to the vet about it several times and he told us that if it were up to him he would let her live her life out as long as the could that doing surgery would be just too much for her since she was already 10 years old. But one night she got to where she couldn't stand good and later that night the tumor ruptured...she died..but before she did I sat and talked to her and got to be with her when she took her last breath..that was so hard but I had always been her favorite person and I owed it to her to be there even if it was hard for me to see her go through that.. I miss her still and it's been 2 years. I think about her all the time but It's a good feeling to know she is no longer in pain.
I'm sorry about your Thunder..do you have any pictures?? I know how hard it is but if you ever need to talk to anyone you know we are all here for you...

Just want you to know you & Thunder are on my mind today. I recall how difficult that last day was for us when we knew it was time.
Enjoy your time with him celebrating what a wonderful life you've shared.

:( Poor girl, keep her close by, she'll really need you. It took Star about 4 months to come out of her depression after Sherman passed.

(If I may make a suggestion, please take a picture today of yourself with Thunder. As time passes, I look at the pictures we took with Sherman, I can see more clearly the pain he was in. Kind of takes away those nagging doubts about having done the right thing or not.)

Genny that's so sad :(
If you look back on older post you can see pictures I posted a little while ago.

I'm just scared because she is so old too. Did it help Star when you got your other dog? I have to look after a Pug puppy on Monday and I was thinking maybe it will help her.
I already took a picture of us yesterday:) I took one of him and my sister too. I was a little scared to at first cause he looks sick but it still will be a good memory. Poor guy even on his last days I torture him with that stupid flashy box. I also got pictures of him and Milo, Milo LOVES Thunder and always lays ontop of him and atacks his tail. Thunder is such a good boy he just takes it. I think Milo and Rockee will take it the hardest.

I'm so sorry for you and your family.
I will keep you guys in my thoughts and prayers and will light a candle tomorrow at 4:30 to help Thunder on his way to the rainbow bridge.

I know that everyone has already said this, but you are doing the best thing you can for Thunder. He needs you to help him to the bridge, he knows that he can depend on your help. Spoil him rotten tonight & tell him that you love him a thousand times. When he gets to the bridge he will be healthy again & he will play harder than he has in years. He will watch over his loving family, until the day comes when you can all be together again. I am so sorry, I know how painful this is. I am sending hugs to your family & good vibes to Thunder. I hope his trip to the bridge is peaceful. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Welllll..... let's just say it took a while. He was a distraction, but they didn't get along too well at first. I would have waited longer to get another dog, but he was 700 miles away, I had to make one last trip back & knew I wasn't going to be in that area for a long time after that trip. At least you still have more than one animal, so Rockee will have part of her pack with her, that might help.

Alicia, I'm sorry I haven't seen this thread until now. My heart goes out to you on this day and tomorrow, along with days to come. I know you're doing the best thing you could ever do for your dear Thunder.

I know losing someone who has been with you so long will tear you apart at first. Though I haven't lost a dog, and I haven't seen a dog that I've known for a long time go downhill, I can somehow relate to how you feel. As you know, my dad passed away a little under a year ago. The wound in my heart still feels so fresh, but I know everything is alright. :)

If you ever need to talk when you're feeling down, feel free to PM me if it might help.

Huge ((((((HUGS)))))) and good vibes headed your way.

{{hugs}} to Thunder, you, your skin family and your fur family.

Please know that you all are in my prayers.

I'm so sorry to hear this news. I know what a difficult and heart-wrenching decision it is. :( Thinking of you, Thunder, and your family during this time.

I took a last picture of Monzaya a few days before she died. She looked so tired compared to her pictures when she was younger, but I am glad i have that picture now...you'll be glad you took those last pictures of Thunder too..I'll be thinking of you, your family and Thunder.

Just wanted to check in and tell you my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family today. I hope and pray yesterday was a good day for all of you and you got plenty of great memories. My heart just breaks for all of you, knowing what you are about to face, but i know Thunder will be relieved of his suffering and will go on to a better place.
God be with all of you especially Thunder.

Would like to add my love and prayers to all the others. You are doing the only thing that a loving owner can do - as heartbreaking as it is.

Blessings to you all - safe journey to the Bridge sweet Thunder

Just wanted you to know that I will be thinking of you and Thunder today. I pray that his journey will be peaceful. <<<<<<<HUGS>>>>>>>

Phew, just reading this thread makes me well up. I can just imagine how horrid you're feeling at the moment.

I was like a zombie for the first couple of days after I had Mist pts but it did lift and, even though I still get upset sometimes, I think thats about usual and you start to feel a lot better about the whole thing.

Thinking of Thunder, you and all your family, skin and furkids alike. I am sending ((hugs)) your way.
