We just lost our 5 month Lola yesterday. We had her spayed on Thursday and somehow she developed tetanus from the surgery. Be careful who you get to do this procedure. We went through a trusted organization and we now have the loss of our dear Lola to deal with. I am hoping the poem, “I am still here” will help my daughters deal with their grief.

Janelle, LuLu wanted to be able to play with the kids and run with them and be part of them. she was sick and all the money in the world would not have saved her. Maybe the look in her eyes was thanking you for letting her go. I lost my cindy to liver cancer as i mentoned in my last reply. we did everything to save her. i always felt we will try just 1 more thing and she will get better. after 3 months she left me, she really wanted to stay but i let her know that she had earned her angel wings and it was ok. i held her till i could not feel her heart beat any more. I loved her so much.

I know exactly how you feel. My golden (Cindy had liver cancer and she let me know she wanted to be let go. i feel she had earned her angel wings in the 11 years she was with us. she was the center of affection with our children. I did add a new menber to our family and at 1st i said cindy fill s my heart but Gracie fills my time…funny but i realized that was room in my heart to love both of them. I still cry for cindy and my body aches for her but i know i will hold her again some day.

I meet my sister when i was 7, she was just a newborn,one of the three survivors of a litter of 7. I had her until only a few months ago and we had to move and coulndt keep her, we were her only family and moving her to a different one made her freak so she ran away, she was later found by a cop and sent to a shelter, the owner called us and told us he had picked her up but he lied. He never picked her up cuz it would have been to much money. And just because of a $500 fine he would have gotten she was put down without our knowing. Her name was Freedom and she was a rescue from Iraq. Her mothers name was tripod and they were the bases mascots.The shelter sent us a letter saying they were going to put her down but we never got it until the morning after she was already gone. This was all just last satuday….the pain is so fresh and the loss so devastating that the only thing that can get me up in the morning is knowing that atleast now she’s not suffering and that she’s in a better place and is still with us….

It was very nice to read all the people replies…my 15 year old kittie just passed away yesterday…3 days ago my young kittie led me to the closet where my cat was laying with her mouth open barely breathing and her back paws that seemed to be paralyzed…I rushed her to the ER, they found a blood clot in her legs, I spent 3 days in the ER, kissing her & petting her & crying…day before she died she looked almost fine, and I kissed her goodnight & told her to be a strong kittie & that I feel pick her up in the morning…at 8am I got woken up by her Dr , telling me to come in as soon as I can, cause they dont think shes going to make it…I’ve been crying for days, I had my kittie since I was 11 years old, im 25 now, and it will not be the same without her

My boyfriend and I had to put our 12 year old German Shepherd down on Wednesday of this week. Sheba was suffering from a brain tumor, as well as renal and heart failure. She has always been a great dog, and my boyfriend has had her since she was a tiny, little ball of fluff. She was the alpha dog of all of the dogs that have been a part of mine and my boyfriend’s life, as well as a new dog that just adopted us. The new dog is a female Jack Russel/lab/Golden mix. I can’t stop crying because she is missed so much that it hurts. I know that we did the best thing for her, but it doesn’t take away the pain that we feel, or the pain that my chihuahua feels now that Sheba is gone. Peanut has been her little friend for the last four years, and I have more than once seen tears coming out of his eyes in the last day or so. I don’t think that Sheba’s daddy and I will ever get over the pain of losing her. It kind of feels like a part of us has died.

I had to put my beloved LuLu to sleep on 2/26/2010 and that was the hardest thing. She had Pyometra and was going into renal failure. I wanted to try everything for her, but my husband wouldn’t let me spend that kind of money on her treatment so I had to put her down. She was only 2 yrs, but was so loved and a wonderful family member….my children(4yrs, 2yrs, and 10 months) were her best friends. All though she was large(Great Dnane)she was the most gentle, especially around them…she even stopped wagging her tail when around the kids. I can’t let her go….or the look in her eyes as I gave the go-ahead for her injection….she fought so hard to stay with me, and I just can’t get that out of my head…I don’t think I can ever forgive my husband. Will this EVER get better?!?! Cause right now, there’s no light at the end of the tunnel…..no new door to open….there’s nothing but darkness.
