No judging here.....I'm so sorry you had to go through this....She is in a better place, running pain free and chasing squirrels as I type......

No judging here either. I would have probably done the same thing. I'm so sorry to hear about this. At least Rosie is no longer in pain.

R.I.P. Rosie.

((((hugs)))) I'm so sorry, Rachel. Rosie had a wonderful long life with your family, and the dream your mom had was surely a sign from her. She's not in pain anymore. Prayers for you all, and especially for Anna, she must be heartbroken over the loss of her dear Rosie. I hope she is able to move thru this. I'm so glad you were able to spend a little time with the girls before going back to school, and took such lovely portraits of them.

We need to do the compassionate, honorable and loving decision not to have our beloved furbabies suffer a minute longer.

I'm sorry you couldn't be with Rosie, but the love you had for each other will always be there. I'm glad Rosie sent your mom a message that she's OK. Remember, Rosie is not alone..she has wonderful friends at RB to show her the way.

I am sorry to hear about Rosie. I am sure it was doubly hard not getting to be there to say goodbye.

I hope no one on here would judge you (or any of the others who are living at home) for something your parents decided to do - but also sometimes spending a lot of money that will supposedly lengthen a dogs life doesn't work as well as the vet thought. The money could have been spent, the dog could still be miserable and instead of making things better it only makes them worse. I am sure your parents did not just consider the cost but also what the cost would be to Rosie - sometimes it is just better for the dog to be let go. We are the ones who often can't let go when it might be better for the dog if we did. Saying goodbye is never easy!
