I have never taken an animal to be put to sleep before. It was the right thing to do, but ...

Our pets have all passed at home. They were my Mother's pets. The digs had heart failure. The cats both past in their sleep. All were considered seniors.

I don't really believe in the Rainbow Bridge. There is a piece of me that would like it to be real and that I am wrong. I wanted my Mom to be with all her. pets... if there is such a thing. It's a fantasy. I think I will just end up as fish food.


The cousin with cancer that had the surgery feels good, but cannot swallow solid food. The surgery was in the vertebra in her neck so they say everything is swollen. She will come home on protein shakes.

The lead cousin just started to cry today. Between the Mother, the stroke sister, and now the cancer sister needing car for 6 to 12 weeks she is at her wits end. I suggested counseling. I know it can be done on zoom.

Stroke cousin sounds stronger and seems to be moving better. They think that something is going on with her heart so they are going to put her on a monitor for 2 weeks. Wednesday, when I was asked to stay with my aunt, she has an appointment with a Gyno-urologist. They need to see what is causing the incontinence. They are still going through 150 depends a week.

Having had to be the one to put my last two dogs to sleep I can say is heartbreaking. ♥
I pray there is a Rainbow Bridge. I so want to see my old pets so much.
And like I said, I'm an old softy and I am sitting here crying as I type this. :)

WOW, I hope they can get things figured out for your aunt. :o
HUGS, Jon

It's so hard having to end a much loved pet's life. It's been a year since my beautiful Inka had the injection as diabetes caused a stroke that left her brain severely damaged. It's taken me that year to more or less come to terms with it.

I hope your aunt gets some answers to her medical issues. :Hugs:

It'll be four years next month since I had to day goodbye to my Sal.
I know it wad the right call, I know it in the very marrow of my bones.

But that didn't make it any easier.

Putting down pets is hard, but it's a peaceful passing. Much nicer than how we let people die sometimes. =(
