--updated page 48--Rockee's time too?

[Freedom]

Oh Alicia, a few days to be with Rockee, take some photos, visit some places, give some treats, deliver hugs and pets. I've been through this 4 times with my cats and 3 times with dogs growing up. It NEVER gets any easier. In a way I was glad to realize that; I worried at first that once I'd been through it, I'd make the choice too quickly. That has NEVER happened.

I often ask my vets what they would do in the situation, as well. It gives good guidance. Sometimes, I ask re this test or that, it is a good question, not just for THIS type of decision.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

I'm so very sorry to hear about Rockee. Enjoy these last few days with her. It's always harder for us to decide to let a pet go when we know they're ready. (((hugs)))

I talked to the Dr for quite a while on the phone, she is the one whom we deal with when thunder passed. She had rockys resuts in front of her.
Anyhow after a long convo with her, she said when it comes down to it, if it were her dog she would let her go while she was happy... Not wait untill she starts to pee uncotrollably in the house and feel guilty.
She says Rock has served her time and now its time to let her go peacefully and before she has any suffering.
Phew, here we go again. I know it may seem like it is quick that we are going on Friday... But One I dont want this prolonged and two, Dr. Merry is only in a couple of times a week, (hence why i had to wait till today to talk to her) and she happens to be there on Friday.... So we will all feel more comftable with her.
Wish us luck we will need it.

Alicia and lorn, I'm sorry you have to go through this again so soon. Rockee and Thunder will be reunited and playing like a couple of puppies at the Rainbow Bridge. My thoughts and prayers are with you. {{{hugs}}}

I don't post much these days, but I wanted to let y'all know I support your decision. Only you know your pet and only you and your vet can make the decision if it's time or not. I truly hate to see a loved one go, but I hate even more to see people allow their pets to linger on in utter misery. I've had family members and friends who waited entirely too long. I've only had to make the decision myself a handful of times, but I let my furbabies go before they're miserable. I'd rather see one of mine go a month too soon rather than even a day too late.

Please try to enjoy your last couple of days together as much as you can.

Just wanted to let you know that I have been following this also and support your decision. It is such a difficult one to make. You and your family are in my thoughts.
