Kaiser soon to the bridge - Page 2

Oh my heart hurts for you. Not a good place to be, but the price of having dogs in your life.

I have been through the death of a pet when my own children were that age and my grandaughters went through the death of my father when they were 6 and 3 (they saw him several times a week)

I think if you are fine, she will be fine. I don't think the finality of death is something the 4 year old mind understands....though I certainly don't think she needs to witness the event or even go to the vet. Mr Rogers has a nice book on the death of a pet that may be something to get.

Kaiser is a beautiful and very sweet boy. My heart is w/ you at this time. Although it hurts so much to make this decision it is done out of love.

He definetely looks to be a gentle soul. You both gave each other great gifts in those 8 yrs. Many thought are with you as you make this difficult decision.

Thank you all so much for the kind words - it means alot to me. He's going to get a special meal on Monday and go for a fun ride in the car - he always liked to go for rides.

Oh. My heart is truly breaking for you. He is a stunning boy. I just had to do the same last month for my girl Tessa. Ironically, her gotcha day would have been Dec 11th as well. I did the same thing. Made the appointment and then spent the last weekend just spoiling her. It was still the hardest and most painful thing I have done. But like someone else told me, it is time for us to take their pain from them and put it on us. It is the greatest gift we can give them.

My thoughts will be with you and I hope Tessa meets him at the Bridge.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time. I'm so very sorry that this is a part of our special relationship with these dogs. It hurts and I know words can provide little comfort. My heart goes out to you.

As Always,
Rosa
