Heavy Heart

[Chris & Boys]

These are pictures of my boy Boomer taken this morning. With a heavy heart I look at these pictures and wonder if I did the right thing. Earlier this afternoon, we said good bye to Boomer. He was so happy today. This is the very first time I took him to the vet that he wasn't shaking in fear.......first time in 14 years.

The room at the vet's office was beautiful. It was a cozy little living room with two rocking chairs, a big rug in fron of the fireplace and soft music in the background. It was very nice for him. But when he went the only thought that came to my head is "What have I done". I felt damned if I did, because I was making the decision instead of him or God, and damned if I didn't because when he had bad days I felt so guilty.

I am at a loss of what I will do without my most loyal friend of 14 years......it was so hard to walk back in the door and not be greeted by him.

It made me cry to read this. I'm so sorry Chirs. I've been in your shoes and it's so very hard. Dogs are so special as they leave only sweet, sweet memories behind. Think on those and be at peace.

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

So sorry...thinking of you. I am happy he was in good spirits when you took him in. That was how Mr. Jake was just a few months ago when my family made the same decision :(

[Bev and WILLY]

I'm so sorry for your loss of such a good friend. I also made this decision many years ago with my 14 year old Shih Tzu. She gave us many years of pleasure and I couldn't stand to see her suffer anymore. I know it wasn't an easy decision for you, but Boomer is now in a better place and out of pain..

[Kai Doodle (Kathy & Keith)]

Chris~ So very sorry for your loss. Went through the same guilt when I made the decision for my black lab. I hope in time you will believe that you gave Boomer a great life and the peaceful passing he deserved.

I just am at a loss, there is no way to make you feel better. I wish I could. Everyone knows this decision wasn't made lightly. My thoughts are with you.

[Paul & Michele]

I am soo sorry for your loss. I know exactly what you went through with trying to decide what to do, we have a chocolate lab and she hasn't been too good for the last two years and last week my husband was going to put her in the car to takes her to the vets and changed his mind. We know we are going to have to do it very soon winter is coming and she will get worse with the cold. She is having Alot of problems walking and getting up and down. It's never an easy decission. But you can relax knowing that Boomer is now in good hands and resting peacfully, please don't feel guilty.....

[Sue & Willy Babe]

I am so very sorry for your loss it is never easy to say good bye- or even to make such a decision. Wilson and I send you doodle hugs and kisses.

[Kathie and the gang]

My heart goes out to you during this time of grief. It is never an easy process.

[Michele Barton]

Oh, I am so sorry Chris. It is such a gut-wrenching decision to make, I know. My heart goes out to you and your boys.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Chris. Boomer was beautiful and he gave you and your family 14 years of wonderful memories to cherish forever.
