My beautiful Peone was put to sleep earlier today.
I know a lot of people won't agree with what I did, but as difficult as it was, I believe it was the responsible thing to do.
We spent the morning together, doing things she loved, and when the time came for the final injection it was very peaceful and it was hard to believe she was gone when it looked like she was just sleeping.
I'm sorry Peone, I hope you'll forgive me someday. I know that where you are now you are no longer troubled by your fears. I love you so much and I miss you terribly.
I'm very sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful girl.
I don't know what Peone's circumstances were, but it couldn't have been an easy decision to make. It never is.
I am so sorry for your loss. I have had to struggle with this same decision (similar circumstances with fear aggression) with dogs in rescue, but I can't imagine it being so personal and close to my heart. I'm sure Peone knew you loved her and maybe now she can let go of all those fears and demons and find peace.
Wishing you peace as you grieve. You were so good to Peone. She is free of her lifelong fears now. Sending good thoughts and prayers your way. RIP sweet Peone.
I know it was an agonizing decision. I am very, very sorry for you. Please don't beat yourself up. You made what you felt was the very best decision of the brutally tough choices available to you.
Love can't, unfortunately, conquer all. Peone simply carried too many mental spooks & demons.
Remember that you love her. Remember that you tried. Remember too, that no matter what else she carried, I'll bet she never once doubted your love & devotion. Sometimes the kindest thing you can do is let go.
No matter what others may think, you have done the best with the hand you were dealt. You faced Peone's end with courage and gave her a wonderful last day, something that most animals throughout the world never have in their entire lives. Know that she is now free of the fears that have haunted her. If her mother had a similar fate, the genetics were against her right from the start. Rest in peace, Peone.
It's hard for you now & we second guess ourselves too much. Sure sounds to me like you loved her lots, & were there for her.
She knew you loved her. Peone's at peace now & I believe we'll see our friends again.
Peace with you both.
I lost my best friend of 14 years on 01/15/2020. He was my Phoenix my big boy. My good boy I love him i see him. I hear him and jump up and say his name. He got me though bad times and made me laugh harder at the good times. Haven't slept much or ate because I would always give him one last bit...

I was torn... not sure if I wanted to post this here, in happy birthday, in the 13 and over club, or, sadly, wait then post it in loving memory.

I am laying here tonight crying so hard. It's almost 2 am and tonight I just can't stop the aching from the loss.
I lost my beloved Penny ten days ago. I knew the time would come, but I thought I would have a year or two more. One week you were loving life, walking a new trail, then I woke...
