I am truly sorry and just like everyone else I feel your pain. We just had to put our 7 year old Chessie down with lymphoma. Its only been two weeks. I struggled that day and my heart broke. I struggled with the decision and friend sent me the Pet’s 10 commandments, I won’t type them all out, but I’ll give you two of them:
9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too wil grow old.
10. On the ultimate difficult journey go with me please. Never say you can’t bear to watch. Don’t make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there. You have your friends, your work, your entertainment, but I only have you.
It is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, but the good outweighs everything. Their loyalty their love, will never be replaced.
