Deepest sympathies to you OCsun. You did the right thing for Ginger.
A dog deserves to have a courageous owner who will unselfishly release the pet from earthly troubles.
Although you will miss her desperately, please know that she is at peace now.
When I euthanize a dog, I usually have a little memorial spot with a picture of my departed baby, a collar, a candle, an angel, anything that I feel will comfort me.
It's just my way of showing respect and it helps me get through the grief.
My dog Biggins is now 14. He has cataracts, he is going deaf and he coughs a lot and licks the walls.
I'll be visiting the Vet when we get to The Villages in November to have some blood tests done.
I don't want to think about it, but I know his time with me is drawing to a close.
Although he stills runs to his toybox and grabs a toy and plays with it. I'm hoping he lives to be at least 17.
I hope I have the courage to do the right thing for him, he deserves it.
I am crying just thinking about it.
