Saying goodbye to a loved one who is just visiting is sad to me but losing someone forever and not to be able to hug them or see them again is a tragedy to meOn Thursday July 3rd, 2008 I had to make the hardest decision in my life so far and that was saying goodbye to my baby, Lady. She was 9 years old and after a tearful call to the vet begging them to please see her after hours as she was not well took me on a new journey of sorrow. After the vet looked and did her exam she gave me 2 choices, One was to have expensive surgery which would have been so hard on Lady and would not promise to cure her or let her go to the pet heaven. I would NOT make her suffer and so In complete breakdown asked the vet to please put her to rest. It has been almost 4 days now and the sadness has not lessened. Everywhere I look there is memorys of her laying in the path of walking or following me wherever I went. Pets are not just pets to me, they are a part of family and I love them as much as anyone in my family. I know alot of people think its not "normal" to think this way but it is how I am, a lover of ALL things alive. I had Lady cremated and her ashes will be put into a wood urn and a paw print was taken from her paw with clay. Lady will always be with me and I am so thankful I took alot of pictures of her and will never forget her. Now go hug your pet and be thankful they are with you still :) A hug for Lady if you will :)
Hugs,Dawn
