I will not be around much tomorrow,And i know tomorrow is the day you are setting dear Thunder to peace.

It will be the hardest thing you have ever had to do,But it is very peacful.

And you being there with him will mean the world to Thunder.He will always be with you.

Are your parents going in with you so you won't have to deal with this alone? It's one of the hardest things to do on your own... be strong for you and for Thunder. Big hugs to you both.

Yes me,my dad, my brother and maybe my mom.
Someone from another forum said that he would be with you till the very end and if you were dying he wouldn't leave your side, the nicest thing you can do is return what he would do for you. It's so true and I told that to my mom and told her to tell my brother. We convinced my brother to and my mom said she might but she doesn't know if she is strong enough.

The next morning we spoiled her rotten, we fed her treats and 1/2 a jar of peanut butter.

Aw I plan on that too. I already have him half my burger today.
My boss wants me to actually go in and work for a hour or so on the days he has to go in and I have to go to work the next day. Being as I work with dogs and I will be a mess I'm not happy about this. I don't think it's fair that I have to work especially when there is someone who can cover for me she just sucks.

I know this does not help much right now but you and your family are doing the best thing for Thunder and for yourselves.

You might think it doesn't but it really does. It helps knowing other people support my descision and other people's stories help too.

I will not be around much tomorrow,And i know tomorrow is the day you are setting dear Thunder to peace.

He's going in on Friday not Thursday, so I still have a day with him.

After finding all this about Thunder were taking Rockee in for a check up. Honestly though I don't think she will be around much after Thunder is gone.
Those two dogs are inseperable, he's litteraly her baby and I know she is going to go into a depression. I feel like I know she is going to pass of a broken heart.

{{{{hugs}}}} Dear Thunder...tell him you love him...

I think and pray that he will pass peacefully...and through your tears, I think you will feel relief that he is not suffering any more.

Sweetie, I can only say what I experienced and that is Cody was totally at peace and went quickly and quietly. I think he knew it was his time. He plopped right down on the cold floor, sighed and it was over quickly. There were a few things I wasn't prepared for, so if you want to PM me, I will explain it to you. to prepare you. As much as I miss Cody, my parents etc... nothing lives forever ( per my dad) and life will go on. My heart is full of love and good memories, never any guilt. May peace be with you and your family. Have a safe trip to the Bridge, Thunder.

Alicia, I am so very sorry to read the latest about Thunder. You know you have lots of support from here on PT. I read somewhere (likely here on PT) that one of the worst things about oour pets is that their live span is so much shorter than ours. How true.

The first time I went through this I was about 19. One thing which worried me was that I would fine it "easier" the next time and I didn't think that was proper. Well, having been through this hard decision several times now, I can say you NEVER get used to it, each pet we have we love to the fullest and they take up a special place in our hearts. Losing them is always a hard thing to handle. You are not somehow making your self less worthy as a person by making this hard decision. Quite the contrary, it is a very selfless decision.

It does sound like Thunder is ready. One thing our pets will do FOR us, is they will hold on as long as they feel WE need them! It is amazing. So, hard as it is, you need to try to convey to him that you will be alright once he has crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge.

For some of my pets, I have clipped a lock of their fur and set it aside in an envelope to save. I can't tell you why I do this with some and not others. I still have these envelopes, going back years. I also remember the pets I did not do this for, so I do not miss them any less. You may like to clip a bit of his fur while you are there at home. Just a thought.

I'll say some prayers for all of you.

I'm so sorry, you and your family will be in my thoughts. (((HUGS)))
