Location: Arkansas | I am much better than I was earlier. . . . Chandler was having a hard time because Wonder was the last dog still alive that we had while Chris and I were married. So it was like the last link to his father in a way. But he went by the vet's office today and spent about an hour with Wonder and also talked to the vet a lot. I talked to him after that and I could tell he knew it was time to let her go, that he felt differently than he had the last week or two. So while it still broke my heart to let her go, I didn't feel like by doing what was right for her I was also hurting my son. If that makes sense. I had boiled her some chicken, bought her a new pink beach towel (we bury all ours in beach towels, have no idea why or how it started), and went to the vet at 4:45. She ate every bite of chicken, about 8 soft treats, and drank a bowl of water. I loved on her, kissed her, we talked, and I let her free from that old body that wouldn't work right anymore. . . . Sean had dug her grave, but Chandler wanted to be the one to cover her, so he did that while I watched. And he and I talked, and I felt even better at that point. I know she's with her brother in a much better place.
I've said this before, but it bears repeating----I truly believe God led me to this site. I will probably never lay eyes on 99% of y'all, but you fill my heart with the goodness and love so many of you display when I need it the most. I can never make y'all know how much you mean to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to each of you for caring enough to post. |

This brought me to tears! I feel the exact same way! This has been such a rough year for so many of us, I'm glad we have each other to lean on. The people of this board are an amazing support system! |

That's the thing Miss Roxie, I felt my friends lifting me up. Like I was telling Treasure Hunter yesterday, I asked God before I left my office to go to the vet to please let someone be thinking of me in the next hour or so. . . . And as I walked up the steps at the vet's, I felt some peace come over me. So I knew He had answered my prayer.
I went by today to pay my bill, and it was a little tough being there so soon, but overall today was ok. Very busy at work, so that helped to not be able to dwell on it. Just another thank you to y'all for being there for me. Like Bingo said on her thread, not just for this, but every time I ask, y'all are always here for me. |
