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, so sorry for your loss. I cannot even imagine your pain. Try to remember all the happy times with Kylee. Hugs to all.

Thank you so much everyone for all your kind words and thoughts. It has been a tough few days.

We got her ashes back today along with a nice framed picture of her pawprint and some of her hair.

That was not easy to go do..and I cried all over again. My husband is having a very difficult time with her passing, she was always his little girl. I feel for him.

I am overwhelmed with all of your replies, and appreciate your care and concern.

Thank you ~

Shelley,

We just saw this posting and share in your pain as do all dog owners who are blessed to have had such a loving and caring companion.

I'm sure Kylee and Jake are having a wonderful romp in that big dog park in heaven.
