Saying goodbye for now 🤍 - Putting my German Shorthaired Pointer to sleep at home - Pet Loss

[@eddiea3782]

You did exactly the right thing. You saved her an incredible amount of suffering and that would not have been fair to her. Look at the positive. You loved her and took care of her. You had a wonderful time with her. That's a blessing. And in the end you gave her the respect she deserved. You didn't allow her to suffer. There is no more greater love than that.

I lost my little puppy dog “ Resses “ three years ago, and I still have not gotten over it she was absolutely the most beautiful dog. Every time ( and I mean every time !!!!) I would take her for a walk everybody would always stop me to find out what kind of a dog she was and to tell me how beautiful she was. She probably got more compliments in one day than I have gotten in my entire life Everybody would complement me and I would say that I am just a fan just like everybody else is !! I owned my own business, so I was able to take her everywhere that I went every day When I think of actual bad days that I’ve had in my life, I think pound for pound, putting her down was probably one of my worst days RIP Resses ❤️

@@greg4876 I've had cats for more years than I wish to share. My last dog was the runt of the litter. She was my buddy, and traveled with me on road trips. When I had just one cat, I had a job that required extensive travel. The cat traveled with world with me in the passenger compartment. He had very unusual markings and was great in his carrier. He had close to 150,000 frequent flyer miles. You'll find that cats can be just as loyal as dogs, and if you start walking them on a lead with a harness, keep up rather well on hikes.They're also good icebreakers with people.

ALWAYS remember how much your puppy filled your heart & days. We saw how intuitive she could be (sensing your unhappiness) a d it appeared to me that she needed you as much as you come to needed her.

You were bonded for a reason.

Having been a dog owner for many years, putting your best friend down is always tough. When faced with a sick best friend, what do you do? It is not a decision that can be taken lightly. Knowing that you have saved Layla from pain and suffering is the best you can do in life. She will always be in your heart and soul, and you will always remember her. Time heals all wounds, or so they say, but some wounds take a lot longer to heal. You will go on, but will always hold a special place for her. Stay strong, move on, and grow from this experience.

I always share this with friends who are dealt this kind of sorrow: Grief is like being given this a big bag of sand to carry. But there's a little hole in the bottom, so the sand leaks out slowly, and over time the bag doesn't feel so heavy. But then you look down and there's only ONE set of footprints in the sand and Jesus is just like "um, ok, fatty," and sets you down. thank you for sharing this video, we love you!
