mutt lover Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 my thoughts are with you it is never easy to say goodbye but spend some time with your baby and take some photos of you with him. Just a line from a pet's 10 commandments I posted on here a while ago. 10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please, Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this along, as everything is easier for me if you are there, BECAUSE I LOVE YOU SO. I have had to do this a few times with previous dogs and 2 horses there is nothing that will make it easier and less painful for you and like you when I had to do it with the horses I put it off and put it off and even organized a friend to be there when it was going to happen but in the end I couldn't bear to think of my baby's facing that journey without me being there to hug and kiss them one more time.

Dog_Horse_Girl Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I'm so sorry Priss. There's nothing anyone can say or do to make it better. He knows he was loved. That's what counts. Be good to yourself as you come to terms with his loss. It's gut-wrenching stuff. Take care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benshiva Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 After going through this nightmare a month ago, all I can tell you is you WILL get through this. :D It's a hard hard thing to do but we do it with love in our hearts.

MissyPriss Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 At 12.30 this afternoon my precious Miko was given his wings. He was only just 14 months of age. It was heartbreaking to let him go, but the right thing to do. Thank you to everyone who had us in their thoughts today, it is very much appreciated and i burst into tears reading everyones well wishes. i work in a shelter environment and assist with this stuff weekly, but its even more devastating when the animal is a part of you. He will be back with me in a week or so to take proud place back here where he belongs. I am honoured that i got to be his mummy even if it was only for a short amount of time. I am doing reasonably well, but coming home and seeing his stuff sets me off again. He went through alot in his short life, but i hope he knows i did everything possible to give him the quality, not quantity. he had a multitude of health issues which had begun to drastically change his temperament to the point he was unsafe and unstable which was through no fault of his own. I remember the day he chose me like it was just yesterday - arriving at the shelter as a teeny bobble headed thing, picking him up from out of the van and not putting him in his kennel. Too young to not be fed overnight, he came home with me and thats where he stayed. Originally a foster, it soon became apparent that he wasnt going anywhere and became a loved and cherished companion. A dog only his mother could love, he was the best thing that could happen to me, my best friend, my baby, my everything. He taught me so much in this past year that i will be forever grateful for. Cheeky little man he was, always up to something and making sure i knew it. From pinching shoes when no one was looking to loving 'his' foster kittens so much - over and over we told him he needed to be gentle. He tried to be gentle but always came off as the clumsy oaf that he was and always ended up carrying them to his stash spot. I just wish he had been blessed with good health, looking at my 18 year old boy now just hits home how unfair it is. Love ya, Meeks. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harley Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I have been thinking of you today. It sure is hard to come home and see their things isn't it. I hope you can find some peace in that he is now safe and happy where he is. He was a beautiful boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridgiedidge Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 RIP Miko & huge hugs to you MissyPriss x We faced this on 24 March & reading your OP, my heart broke for you. We, like you, did everything we possibly could to keep our boy here. Knowing that we did our best, well it kept me sane when I thought the grief would overwhelm me. Take it easy on yourself x Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tez Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I am feeling so very very sad for you. Your decision was right and unselfish but I know that your grief will be overwhelming at the moment. He looks like he was a lovely goofy boy but must have been suffering for his temperment to change so you did the very best for him by giving him his wings. Thinking of you and your family during this sad sad time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hortfurball Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I can hardly see through the tears to type...I fear I'll be facing this all too soon myself. :D I have no idea how we can cope with the loss of these creatures we choose to spend our lives with, I have been asking myself the same thing for the past few years as my boy advanced into geriatric territory. I sincerely hope he goes peacefully lying in the sun so that I don't have to make that call, because no matter how hard I'll try not to, I'll be bawling my eyes out when the time comes and everyone says that you shouldn't show them that you're upset. How is that even possible? You're among like-minded people here, take some comfort if you can from our understanding of what you're going through. Sending you hugs and strength to make it through this... R.I.P. Miko Another beloved baby waiting on the other side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazzat Xolo Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Missypriss what lovely words and a fitting tribute to your bobble headed boy. Sometimes the hardest decision we make is the bravest and the most unselfish gift we can give those we love. what a true friend you are, Miko will always be a piece of your heart and the memories never fade.
