Making that decision is the hardest thing I ever have to do with any of my beloved dogs and cats over the years.
But it really is a small price to pay for the years of devotion, love, and sunshine that they bring into my life.
I had 14 wonderful years with her.
Her and Ku'a not quite two years ago when Ku'a was the latest addition.

Hi Freedom - thank you for sharing a picture of your puppies with us. She was your baby, family and beloved furry friend. 14 years is a good age for a doggie but I always feel that even that seems too young, you know??
I hope you get lots of love and kisses from your other doggies and that perhaps one day in the future, another lucky pup will be lucky enough to share your life with u and the rest of your family.
Big hugs !!

They bring us so much joy and love and it's so hard to let them go.

I'm sooo sorry to hear 
I took all of my furry companions to my small apartment with me when I moved out of my home with STBXAH. I have a very sick feline - who is my main man (Lewis) - I know he doesn't have a ton of time left either... Whenever I get sad about how STBXAH has turned out, I just think about my Lewis and think how grateful I am to have HIM here with me rather than AH... given the choice, it's a no brainer. I think my Lewis knows he needs to stick around for a bit longer even though he is on borrowed time, as I need him right now and he can't go yet

What a lovely long life she has had. She must have been so happy and contented with you and her family.
You did her REAL proud. Well done.
I understand the pain. I've lost a fair few of my pets over the years, and taking them to the vets for the last time has always been absolute AGONY for me. The last time was for my cat who purred the WHOLE time in the vets office (he usually hates the vets). And i take it as a sign that he knew, and he was at peace about it.
Sending you love your way to help you feel better. You'll miss her a lot, and you'll love her forever.
kind hugs,
Limiya

I am so very sorry for your loss. It's so painful when we lose a beloved friend. I'll bet she licked many a tear from your face, or gave you so much comfort in times of need. I know my dogs who have passed on did. Rest in peace, Miss Shiloh.
