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

[lorn]

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.

My heart just breaks for both of you and your family, I am so very sorry that Rock has to go now too so soon after Thunder. I lost both of my elderly dogs with in two years of each other and I thought that was just torture, I can't even begin to imagine the short time you have had to deal with both of them now. My prayers and my thoughts are with all of you, you have made the right decision for yourselves and most importantly for Rock, who is after all the one that really matters in a situation like this. I think the Dr is completely right to not let it get the point where there is guilt and shame and the feeling that they have not done what they know to do, try to just hold onto all the wonderful loving memories you have and make alot more this week, takes tons of pics and just have as many cuddle moments as you can, trust me you will thank yourself later.

God be with all of you and with Rock during your journey ahead and know that you are supported and are doing what is best for your precious dog.

Regardless of what anyone may think of me, I'm not here to cause trouble.

I just wanted to say that I'm sad to hear that Rockee is going to the RB tomorrow and I know how difficult and heartbreaking the decision is for the family. I hope Rockee goes peacefully and you all have lots of good memories and pictures of her to keep with you forever to remember her by.
