Saying Goodbye

[kallisto4529]

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

Ohhhhhhhhhhh honey I feel for you. I have a dog that has put us on this as well, but its not time yet.
I feel you and I am soooooooooooo sorry! I know it hurts! You will be in my prayers..

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.

{{{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.

Be strong for Ginger, please. You all will be in our thoughts and prayers.

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.

Prayers for all of you. It is a hard decision, but one that we understand.

Well my little pumpkin it has been a hard christmas and new year without you, and without mousse too. Mommy misses you both so much, the holiday's have not been the same without you. I am sitting here at work thinking about you, wishing you were going to be home sitting or laying there waiting on me, we can go for our morning walk, and wait for daddy to get home, you would get all excited and jump around in circle's, then after we had breakfast we would go take a nap for mommy and daddy having to go to work that night, you would get on your bed and sleep right next to my side or you would sleep up on the bed with me and snuggle real close. Beijing seems to be enjoying having the house to herself now, but mommy's heart is still aching and i hate coming home and not finding one of you there. I wish you and mousse a very happy new year at the rainbow ridge, mommy loves you with all her heart.

My sweet Ginger mommy misses you so much, I got daddy's last and very best christmas gift today, he has not seen it yet, it's a mouse pad for the computer and it has the very last picture on it we took of you!!!!!!! It is just beautiful, it is not the same as having you here with us, but I think it will give us some comfort and its a special memorial to you from us. Grammy and I are getting New Year's dinner ready, we just put the ham in the oven and I can't help but think and remember the way you and Mousse use to always stay in the kitchen with mommy and "help" her cook, or you would help clean up the floor from my "oops spills", lol. My heart if very full right now with the memories of the two of you and the 15yrs combined that I was so wonderfully blessed to have you in my life, from the time you were just tiny babies to the last days you were here, God blessed us with the most precious and inspiring love anyone could have. I try to concentrate on the good times and the good memories of you both and know that one day we will all be together again. I love you both. Mommy.

I don't mean to intrude on your words to Ginger, but I am so sorry. I understand what you are going through. Our DJ (who looks a lot like your Mousse and Ginger) has been gone since March of 2005 and we always think of him and the silly things he use to do to make us laugh.
In the RB dog video they have the three blond cockers all in a row. Mousse, Ginger and then DJ. When I first showed my boyfriend the video he almost thought Mousse was DJ but he didn't recognize the surroundings.

Happy New Year to you and your family.

hello my sweet babies, another day, hour, minute has gone by and you are not with me any longer. Daddy loved the mouse pad we got for him Ginger, he cried when he opened it. I knew that he would, he loved you still loves you so much. grammy and i were talking to the neighbor yesterday about you and mousse, oh mousse its been two years and some days its just like it was yesterday for me, sometimes i sit and remember each moment i was blessed to have you, i remember how when you were just a baby, you would cry if i did not take you everywhere with me, we are not just talking about small crying and then letting it go, no you had to sit at the door to wherever i had exited and cry yourself sick, except for when i went to work, i had to take you everywhere with me. I did not mind though, I loved having you with me, we were so close, I still feel you here with mommy from time to time. Ginger mommy found one of your jackets yesterday, I sat and held it and smelled you on it and i just cried. Chance the neighbors beagle still comes over and looks for you, he came in the house today trying to see where you were, it breaks my heart, he does not understand you are not here anymore.
I love and miss you both dearly, one day I know the pain will not be so great, right now it just comes in waves.
