mgsmom 9 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 I have never seen this thread... just read all 7 pages and I am touched by everyone's love for their fur babies and warmed by their love for fellow Fiends. I am also so sorry to hear of all the loss just in the past few months. I have a couple of hooligans waiting for me someday too...and I won't even fuss at them if they jump on me and scratch up my legs... :heart: We just lost Bob a few weeks ago, and I am dogless for the first time since '95.

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Just got home from the vet. Our Daisy didn't come home with me. She had cancer, and a large abdominal tumor had metastasized. Surgery would have bought, at most, 90 days. And at 13 with other issues that wasn't the best thing for her. So I held her as she crossed the rainbow bridge to be with her brother (who we had to put down 9 years ago). It's going to be very weird not tripping over her after all these years. She had a knack of getting under my feet! If any of you are FB friends, don't post anything on there as the girls don't know yet. Will be a difficult evening telling them. They don't remember a time without Daisy. Here she is in happier days at the Fort, doing what she did best. RIP sweet girl. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I'm so sorry Dave. I know it's going to be hard on the girls. Hang in there. You know you did the right thing. Rest in peace, Daisy. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Dave, my heart goes out to all of you. It is so difficult to lose a family pet, especially one you've had for so many years and that the children have grown up with. Praying for you to find the right words to tell the girls and for His comfort for each of you. :bighug: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ftwildernessguy 778 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Shedding a few tears right now for you and your family, Dave. It's hard to do the right thing, sometimes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thanks everyone. We know it was the right thing. Her quality of life had disappeared, and she was probably in some pain. It was time. But it's still hard to believe she's not here in the house, snoring away. And it's hard to believe she won't be making the rounds of the kitchen after dinner to lick the entire floor. But we knew this day wasn't far away. Now we are down to 1 dog, and considering how much we have on our plates with the kids it will stay that way, at least for a while.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I'm so very sorry to hear this, Dave. No matter what their age, and even when we know it's the right thing to do, it is always so incredibly hard. Daisy was lucky to have spent her good, long life with such a wonderful family and as a much loved companion. I hope that in time all your good memories of Daisy will bring you peace. Much love to you and your whole family. Godspeed Daisy... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

caveat lector 181 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Dave,I get a pit in my stomach every time this thread pops up.As someone that has had to make that tough decision, I know that a stranger telling you "that was the right call" doesn't help the pain a lot. I don't care because I'm going to say it anyway. You made an incredibly selfless decision to help Daisy.Remember the good times with Daisy.My condolences Quote Link to post Share on other sites
