It's with a heavy heart that I write this post. We've agreed that Daisy is having more bad days than good days and therefore, it's time to put her to rest.
She's currently on three different pain medicines for arthritis (2 oral and 1 through injections) and while they've helped for the past couple of months, she's still struggling. One of the oral medications slowly deteriorates her liver and we're starting to see some signs of that.
I'm not ready for her to be gone. I'm not ready for the kids to be without a dog. I'm not ready to try and explain this to Vance.
I'm still trying to find peace with this decision.
............................
I wrote the above yesterday. I'm feeling much more at peace today. I know this is the right decision for Daisy. I made the appointment for Friday afternoon. Please send us good thoughts.
Sorry to hear that, I hope you got my email on the subject.

ReplyDeleteI know what you are going through and believe me it will get better with time. I am grateful that you and Justin rescued her and showed her all of your love and devotion to her needs. My thoughts are with you now and tomorrow.

Losing a pet who is loved like Daisy is never easy, but you must think of it as doing something that is in her best interest. She has had a good life with your family, and now she is in pain, and you do not need nor want her to suffer. She also does not want to hurt and/or cause problems for you. Remember, she loves all of you too, and animals like their dignity just as people do. Remember the good times and set her free. She will always remain an important part of your life. Love you all...
