When it's time to let them go & say goodbye~

[Chloe, Finley & Mama Shelley]

This is Kylee, our sweet 13 year old black lab. We had to make that awful decision that it was her time to go and not let her suffer any longer.

We said goodbye to her on Monday 7-9-12, just 1 year and 1 month after losing her long time mate Jake, our 14 yr old Golden Retriever.

It seems my heart is broken...and a chapter of our life has come to an end. To lose them both has been one of the hardest times I have gone thru. If it wasn't for my sweet GD Chloe and our other 2 yr old Golden Bentley, I don't think I would get thru this.

Kylee had a very long, happy life and could not have asked for a better Doggy life.

In the end she was suffering from arthritis, Diabetes, Cushings, went completely blind and mostly deaf. She was struggling with so much, and started urinating in the house due to not finding her way outside in time. We just could not watch her suffer any longer, and we knew she was in pain. Our vet told us that she really did not have any quality of life left, and that she was very tired...

I like to believe that she is happy and healthy now and running with her Jake again!

We miss you Kylee and will always love and remember you!

Shelley,

I am so sorry for your loss.  It is heartbreaking to lose a beloved fur baby.  Not to mention that you have lost 2 in a short amount of time...  I had to make that decision 3 times in the past year and a half....It is terribly painful and i do still sometimes cry ...like now....but I know I made the right decision and I gave my fur kids the best life....

 

Hugs to you and your family

[Chloe, Finley & Mama Shelley]

Thanks for your thoughts Elizabeth. 3 times..? Wow, I am sorry for you also!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I am so very sorry for your loss. Rest in peace, Kylee.

I love all your photos of Kylee.  Just remember all those happy times.  Sending you a hug.

[Janie, Jackson and Jilly]

I am so sorry for you. You photos are just beautiful and what a happy life she had! I'm glad that you had wonderful memories and that she has her Jake waiting.

[Jennifer]

I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious Kylee. Losing a pet is one of the hardest things. I wish I knew of some magic thing to say that would ease your pain. Please know others are thinking of you during this difficult time.

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

Thinking of you...I am sure she is running in heaven right now with her buddy Jake.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I am so sorry for your loss! I will keep you in my heart and prayers. I hated that we had to make the decision for our 13 year old Lab, Hershey. I asked the vet why she just couldn't go in her sleep and I second guess myself. I know how hard this is for you and I wish you peace. Kylee was beautiful!

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

Shelley, I am so sorry for your loss. It is the hardest thing ever to know when to let them go. I am picturing their happy meeting on the other side of the bridge, brother and sister back together again, perhaps in the big pond just like their pool.

I am so sorry to hear about Kylee and I think it is good when we know when it's time to let them go.
