    Saying Goodbye/ One Year Anniversary

    I know that I am not on here much, but I need to be today, so please forgive me for not being on here much.
    Today I rushed my cocker spaniel, Ginger to the vet, the last three months have been a back and forth struggle, from ear infections to loosing her balance, going around in circles, being on several different medications, through it all I have been waiting for this day. Two years ago is when it all really started when our other cocker spaniel, Mousse left us, they were so close, she mourned his loss so hard, we thought surely we would loose her right then and there too, but we were blessed with two more years.
    Today my heart is breaking, today I was told we have to make the choice to put her to sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is having siezures and she has a brain tumor. Since 130 pm she has had 6 of them, that is no way for her to live, they can give her meds but it will only prolong the inevitable. So my husband and I will talk tonight and decide when we will end her suffering.
    I wish now I had written on here all about her so all of you would know how very special she is, so loving, gentle, smart, funny, loves for mommy and daddy to hold her and cuddle with her, she just loved life so much, but all of that has changed. These last three months she has been a different baby, not full of life, no excitement at anything, barely wants to be held, I have and can see the change in her.
    I have no right to ask, but I will anyway, please pray for us that we are strong enough to do the right thing for her and not make it about us!!!
    thank you

    I am so sorry, to hear about Ginger.
    It is so hard to make the final decision, but know it is
    the kindest and most loving thing to do.
    I will be making that same decision this year with one of my dogs.
    Ginger will be in your heart forever.

    Hugs

    As you know, I had to make it. It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life and I sob daily because of it. But, your love must be strong enough to do the right thing. Duke will take care of her.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    {{{Hugs}}} I know it is not an easy thing to do. Many of us have been through the heartbreak of helping our furbabies on their way to the bridge. It is never easy, and never something that we do lightly, but I know that you will do what is best for Ginger. Mousse will be waiting for her at the bridge, and they will play together again. I am so sorry.

    helping my duke to the bridge was one of the hardest things i've ever done. i hugged him and held him and told him that in just a little bit he would never hurt again, he have all the energy of a pup. setting him free from his pain was the best thing i could do for him, i loved him enough to let him go. ((hugs)). it's very hard.

    I had to do this too, my Tara was 17 years old and it broke my heart but it was the best thing to do for her. You and your family will be in my thought and prayers.

    my husband and I made the decision we are taking her tomorrow morning to say goodbye to her for the last time. our hearts are breaking but we know this is the very best we can do for her, we love her to much to see her go through another day and night of what she is going through. It broke my heart to tell my husband, he was devasted, she has always been a daddy's girl!!!! i know she will be with mousse and duke and all the other furkids playing and loving life like she has always done.
    thank you all for the support
