Had to put my Rosie down yesterday

My heart goes out to you..there are no words to describe the terrible pain following the loss of a loved pet…after some time,you will remember with fondness and maybe even a smile. I still get that dreaded lump in my throat looking back at the pets I have loved and guided across that Rainbow Bridge…sending you a hug…and may God ease your heartache….
 
Please accept my condolences, Tom. It is never easy having to put down one of our beloved pets. We just try to remember that we enhanced their lives while they were with us. You gave Rosie the best possible life. Please take time to grieve.
 
In the past, I still had my wife. So I had someone to talk with after we put down dogs. It was hard for both of us but we could still talk about it.

This time my wife has been gone almost 7 years & the house is so empty without Rosie. I'll go out to the vet after she is cremated & put in a wooden tox with flowers on it. Come home put her on the fireplace mantel along with Patty & all our other dogs we had t put down. I already ordered a brass plate for the box just like the others with her name date of birth & death I'll attach it. When I die Kristi is my durable power of Attorney. She already knows in my will it states that Pattys two dogs will be buried with her. Same for me my two dogs go with me.

The funeral director also set it up in my pre-pay & it's noted in there what's to happen. She said we bury cremated pets with cremated people all the time.

I decided to put her down as she was breathing so hard. Took her to the vet last week got some meds & x-rays. Came home & started the antibiotics as the vet thought she had something in her lungs.

Rosie kept getting worse, so I called yesterday 2-16-22 & got an emergency Attp to check her out again. They did more X-rays & as soon as I saw them I knew it would be best to let her go as she was suffering. Her lungs were pure white, The vet said she didn't know what that was but it was not good & my request to put her down was the best.

They gave her one shot under the skin to make her relax. She got sleepy so I could still talk to her. Then they came in to put a catheter in her front leg. The vet said are you ready? I said yes. 3 minutes later she quit breathing & she said her heart stopped on the stethoscope.
