Guest guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Thank you Jen. I don't believe in putting animals down either, I would like to have her pass naturally at home, but she can no longer walk and I don't know what to do.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 ,So sorry to hear about your dog! Having faced the heartbreaking dilemma several times myself, I can certainly empathize with what you're feeling right now! A very hard place in which to be! One of the biggest considerations for me was always the quality of my dog's life! Was she enjoying herself anymore? Sometimes though, like with my 17 year-old dog Maggie, they let you know when it is time to let go because you can see it in their eyes!Warmest hugs,Jeanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 - I will share some advice. I've got a friend who's a vet tech. One of the vets she worked for had this advice on when to let go of your pets. He says there are 3 F's to consider. Food, Family and Fun. When they are no longer enjoy at least 2 of those you should think about letting go. We had to let our old dog go in 2008, at the time we finally did (he declined rapidly,) he wasn't eating, wasn't able to walk, and barely responded to my husband (his favorite person.) Hope this gives you some food for thought and perhaps comfort in make your decision.DawnTo: intuitiveeating_support Sent: Tue, January 11, 2011 6:17:14 PMSubject: Re: Re: prayer request Thank you Jen.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Thank you so very much your kind words help more than you can know To: IntuitiveEating_Support Sent: Tue, January 11, 2011 9:38:19 PMSubject: Re: prayer request Dear ,I am so sorry for the pain you're going through. I know exactly how it feels--it is gut-wrenching. These animals come into our lives, bringing so much love and acceptance, becoming part of us, remaining puppies forever, even (and especially) in their golden years. I can still cry--easily--over the little dog that was ours for almost 17 years.Just do what you can--and know that Lacy knows that you adore her.Kindest thoughts to you.>> Please pray for my dog Lacy I fear she is losing the battle of aging Thank you > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
