Sorry,beforehand for the depressing thread. But today, I had to put down my. Bo; she had been suffering from terrible pain in the last few days. I have never cried so hard in my entire life, especially over a pet; but she was something special. Before she died, I told her I loved her, and also told her that we will meet again (I know, silly) but who would ever thought, that a person could love an animal so much? And, how terribly painful it is, to make a decision to put her down? Right now I am heartsicken, but I am also relieved (in a way) that Bo is no longer in pain..


I love you, Bo Bo

PS. I would post a picture of my precious dog, but right it is, way too painful, and I have cried enough today...

I am so sorry Tara. I know how much you loved Bo. :( I rememebr how I felt when Coco died. I'd like to think that they're together right now. Pets are very special and when you lose them, it's like losing a family member. God Bless you Tara and I'll keep you and Bo in my prayers tonight.

Oh honey, I am so, so sorry to hear about your heartbreak. I, too, am an animal lover and I definitely don't look forward to the days when any of my pets have to go. My heart breaks for you and tears came to my eyes reading your post.

I don't mean to being you down any more than you are. My thoughts are definitely with you as you cope with losing Bo. Like you said, she's out of pain and is romping in the land of the Doggie Treats.

It is definitely not silly that you say you will meet again. I'm sure you're familiar with the poem "The Rainbow Bridge".

I also have a sign in my home that reads

"Heaven - all the dogs that ever loved you will be waiting at the gate."

Bless your heart and try to stay strong, as hard as it may seem right now.

:bighug:

:rip: Bo

I'm so sorry for your loss Tara. It is exactly two weeks ago today we put Panzer down. And it was for the same reason. To end his pain. So I understand the pain you are going through. But know you did the right thing for Bo. You will definitely be in my prayers.

Thank You, sweetie. I made he decision last night; she was suffering, now I am. But I know that it was the right thing to do. She was such a good dog, and did not deserve any suffering; she is at peace and pain free. I love her and I will miss her, but she will live forever in my heart.

Awwwwwwwwwww babe sorry to hear about your loss, and really sorry to see you in such pain. I know you and your friend will see each other again soon.
:bighug:

Tara, I am so sorry for your loss. I have lost two cats myself in the last 10 years and it is like losing a family member. I just know that BoBo must have been precious to you. I will pray for you. :(

Thank You, yes, she was very precious to me, losing her was a lot harder than I expected.

I'm very sorry, Tara. :( This is awful news. :bighug:

Thank You, Mike. Yes, it has been a sad day. I am not going to lie, I feel like I lost a child. But, I am also content, that she is in a better place...

So very sorry for your lost

So very sorry for your lost
Thank You, Aaron=)

Aw Tara, I'm so sorry to hear about Bo. I know how you're feeling. Please PM me if you like. As you say, we take their suffering away and put it upon ourselves for them. I know now it sounds cliche, but she WILL be with you forever. That's the wonderful thing about pets. Once you get over the pain of their death, there's nothing left but wonderful and ALL happy memories.

:bighug:

I'm so very sorry, Tara. Bo was a family member who you will see again. You did the right thing by ending her pain. This helped me when I lost dear cat, Foxy.

MAY I GO

May I go now?
Do you think the time is right?
May I say goodbye to pain filled days
and endless lonely nights?

I've lived my life and done my best,
an example tried to be.
So can I take that step beyond
and set my spirit free?

I didn't want to go at first,
I fought with all my might.
But something seems to draw me now
to a warm and loving light.

I want to go. I really do.
It's difficult to stay.
But I will try as best I can
to live just one more day.

To give you time to care for me
and share your love and fears.
I know you're sad and afraid,
because I see your tears.

I'll not be far, I promise that,
and hope you'll always know
that my spirit will be close to you
wherever you may go.

Thank you so for loving me.
You know I love you, too.
That's why it's hard to say goodbye
and end this life with you.

So hold me now just one more time
and let me hear you say,
because you care so much for me,
you'll let me go today.

Thank You, Cathie; your kind words are very welcoming. Yeah, I look forward for the pain to end. I am more heartbroken that I ever imagined. But she will live in my heart and memories forever.

Thank You, Janice. Yes, she was a vital member of my family. And setting her spirit free this afternoon, was one of the hardest things I have ever encountered; but I know she will live forever in my memories, and we will meet again. Before she died though. I put her toys away in a safe place.

Tara, I'm so sorry. It's so hard to lose a pet and it's an awful feeling. RIP Bo :(

It wasn't an easy thing to do, but you did the right thing. You saved Bo from having to die slowly and painfully, and I am sure he is thankful to you for doing so. I know, it ****ing hurts and is going to for quite some time. :( (it's been nearly a year now since my mom and I had our cat Desi put down, and I still think about and miss him a lot) It's OK to hurt. He was part of the family.

:bighug:

Tara, I'm so sorry. It's so hard to lose a pet and it's an awful feeling. RIP Bo :(
Ashlee, thank you, so much pretty lady, mean a lot:)

I have been there, many times.

My deepest condolences on your loss.:( I hope the knowledge that you gave your friend a wonderful loving home will comfort you in this time.

Yes, I did and I am proud of myself, for realizing that last night, she was in horrible pain, and to keep her alive was selfish. Calling the vet the next morning was so painful, but I knew I was doing the right thing. I miss her, the house is so empty without her presence. Since I love the ocean so much, I am having her ashes scattered at sea.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Tara. It's so hard to lose a pet.
Awww, thank you=)

Thank You, oh, she was deeply loved and a spoiled brat as well. She had a great life.:)

Both of these had me in tears, too.:(

I'm sorry about the loss of Bo Bo.

Tara, I'm so sorry. :( I know all too well what you're going through, I was in the same spot 3 months ago. I still miss her very much. I'm here for you anytime, you know where to find me! :bighug:

I'm sorry to hear that.

Oh Tara, I'm so sorry about Bo :( You're in my thoughts.

Tara... I don't even know what to say! I'm so sorry for your loss. :(
What terrible news... but I know Bo Bo is safe now, and not in any pain... which is the only thing that can truly bring comfort at a time like this.
Again, just so sorry to hear about this. :bighug:

Me too! Isn't that a nice way of thinking of it?!


I came across a little bit of Thunder's fur yesterday that was stuck to my baseball cap and it made me smile as I rubbed it against my cheek. It's going in my scrapbook with a couple of his whiskers that I found.

Awwwww, right now, just seeing items that belong to Bo is too painful right now..

I just want to thank everyone and their kind words. I know, losing a pet is not as dramatic as losing a human relative; but it can be just as painful. Posting this thread, was theraputic for me, since I needed a release and a way to express how I felt. Everyone's prayers and postive vibes made me feel a lot better; this is the reason why this site means a lot to me and the members of this board. Once again, many thanks=)
