Aly,
My heart goes out to you. I read through what you have gone through and I couldn't do it without crying. As hard as it was, you did the right thing. You gave Peka a wonderful year and tried to ease her pain, but now she is in a happy place without suffering and surrounded by love.
I know it wasn't the easy thing, but the right thing isn't always. Peka is peacful now, romping and playing at the bridge. I'm sure if she could she would have said thank you for a wonderful last year and showing her what love is.
{{{HUGS}}}
I am SO sorry for the lost of your friend. :(
I cried at work reading this thread! I felt, and feel your pain. Just wanted to let you know I was still thinking about you...
:)
Aly, I am thinking of you tonight with nothing but love and admiration for your complete devotion to Peka. May we all be so loved and thought of when our time is near.
Hugs,
Johanna
{{{aly}}} i knew that when duke closed his eyes here, he'd open them at the bridge in just seconds and he'd be free and young and healthy and he could run and play. peka is now having all that too, hugs to you brave lady. joyce
Oh, Aly, Aly, Aly..........I know how you feel. I have been there and it hurts so much. I remember the snot was running from my nose and I just didn't care.......I was crying so hard.
But a pet that I had loved so dearly was gone. This precious boy, Magic was now gone. But he had been in pain and he was suffering so much and his quality of life was completely gone. I was able to see him now peaceful and safe and across the Bridge.
I didn't stop crying for a long time.....but I was upset about MY loss, not his peacefulness. He had given me everything he possibly could in gratitude for taking him into my home - a stray that just showed up.
I don't have the right words.........but you did the right thing for Peka and she will always be a part of you and she will never forget you.
God love you!
"You say that all you have left are memories but this is not so. You see, when I took leave of my earthly body I left a little something behind for you. You can't touch it, hold it or examine it, for what I left behind is far too uninhibited for confinement. I left in your tender care a piece of my soul. ... I love you too much to have left you with nothing but memories that tend to fade and grow cloudy as the years go by. I love you too much to have vanished without a trace. How selfish it would be of me to remove love and light from your life.
Aly, please read this site: A Place For Us -by Terri Onorato
It's the one I go back to when I miss a RB baby.

One that I think of often when I miss Shaianne is
Loved Dogs never Die.
Aly, I don't know what to say except my heart is breaking with you. It's an awful part of life when doing the right thing hurts so much. Peka will be thanking you from the Rainbow Bridge for giving her life and knowing when she had enough.
Oh dear. :(:(:( I missed this thread Aly, and now my heart is broken in a million pieces. I just don't know what to say. :(:( Peka was so precious and you gave her the best last year in life that anyone could offer. I know this must be so very hard on you, but you did the right thing. :(:(
{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}
Rest in Peace sweet Peka. Enjoy your new life on the Bridge .
(PS. If you could keep sending signs to tell your meowmie you are fine, we would all be grateful)
Oh, Aly, You have done the hardest, most painful thing, with real love and bravery and set your sweet girl free, and I know it hurts so bad. I know that hurt because I have felt it too, many times, too many. Hold on tight, brave lady. You loved Peka and she loved you, and love is the only treasure that will never pass away, or grow old, or fade. She will always be there in that piece of your heart reserved especially for her.
Rest in peace dear Peka.
{{{Hugs}}}

Aly my friend, I hope that we at PetTalk have provided a little light in your darkness... now go get Reece & Lolly and hug those blackie pups & Skyler and let life begin anew. An oldie but a goodie, "this is the first day in the rest of your life". I pray it's a good start for you. I also hope that doesn't sound cold or harsh :( you know how much I care I hope.
ohh aly *hugs* my heart is breaking with you :( you gave peka the best 12 months of her life and bless you for that.
God speed dear Peka, sweet dreams

Rest In Peace, Dear sweet Peka, for you are pain free now. You have known the best year of your life with sweet Aly, keep an eye on her, and wait for her to come see you someday.
Aly, I know it is hard, but you did do the right thing. Peka knows that, and we all know that. You did the best thing for her--giving her a wonderful year of her life, with love she may never have known, and set her free when it was time.
