Prayer Request

[RareBreed]

I have considered bringing her home first, but she would be in a miserable car ride home for over 2 hours... I have prayed all night for the strenght to do the right thing, she isn't showing any signs of improvement and is still paralyzed from the neck down and the cancer is too far along for any treatment, all I can do now is make sure she isn't scared or in any pain... I've never done anything this hard. I love her so much and am not sure how my life will ever be the same. Thank everyone for all their kind words, I know things will get better, it's just such so amazingly awful and heartbreaking right now. I cannot stop crying, my husband is worse. I know our other boxer Remi is so confused, he's never been without her. Leaving to go say good by to the first love of my life.

I have a 7 1/2 year-old boxer, and I dread the day something happens to him. He's my boy, and I love him with all my heart.

Denise -- my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

KDenise...I am so sorry that you have to suffer through this. If there is anything I can do to help, please reach out. I don't know what I would do if my babies were in this position. I can only imagine your heartbreak and pain right now.
Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your baby right now. May God give you both the comfort you so deserve. Many, many many hugs to you both.

Leaving to go say good by to the first love of my life.

This is tearing ME up. I feel so incredibly sorry, not only that you have to endure this, but that it came up so suddenly.


I had to put down my good friend a few years ago... and I still remember many of the final moments. When the nurse brought him into the room, he was wrapped in a towel - looking so different, but I just looked into his eyes and talked to him. When she went to do the injection, I held him close as that was the only final memory I could bear.

Don't be apprehensive to ask for support anytime. We understand. You will pull through and move on... holding on to so many happy times.

I am so sorry..we had to put our precious pup down last thanksgiving..it was awful..and heartbreakingly sad...I feel for you so much..but I feel comfort in knowing she wasn't in pain anymore..and I still feel comforted that we did the best thing for her. We miss her sooo much..and probably always will she was one of those once in a lifetime dogs...but they cannot live forever ..and its love that would allow you to go through with it..because you love her and dont want her to suffer.

.... 6yrs ago today I had to let go of my best friend..... RIP Damien... I know you are always with me!



“He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.”

that makes me cry everytime!

my heart goes out to you. i recently went through this just weeks ago, there were no two ways around it. it's indescribable, words are inadequate, but what you are doing is undoubtedly the best thing you can do for them. you'd switch bodies if you could - but you're doing the only thing you can do and that's taking their pain away. they have an unwaivering trust and love for you and she'd want nothing more than for you to be there with her. it's hard but you can do it. "if it should be" is a poem I was given by a co-worker when I had to place a former one of mine to rest in 2008. I have it framed w/ his picture. there are thousands out there, but that one tops the list.. here was another that i liked that's more well known, but helped me cope. so very sorry you are going through this.

They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.

A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.

If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.

big to you..... and you made me

We went and sat with her, my dear sweet beautiful girl, as she drifted off to sleep. It was horrible to see her as they wheeled her in on a cart b/c she still couldn't move from the neck down, she was on heavy doses of drugs I beleive because her eyes were all glazed over and her tongue was sort of hanging out. We told her she was a good girl, and how much we loved her and that it was okay to go. She went. We brought her home and have buried her by the lamp post where she loved to lay and bask in the sun on warm days. I can only hope and pray she is at peace and not in any pain or scared anymore. Her broken and crippled body is at rest now and her spirit and soul is free in doggie heaven.
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.

So sorry for your loss. It sounds like she had a wonderful life with you. What more could a good old girl ask for. Time will ease the pain and sorro but you'll always have her in your heart.
