This morning I lost one of my best friends in the world, my Pom, Savannah. As most of you know she had mouth cancer so I knew it wasn't going to be long but I just wasn't ready to let her go. She had been acting a little unusual the past couple of weeks so I knew it had gone to her brain (like the Vet said it eventually would) but she seems to always wag her tail, be alert and love me. She never indicated she was in any pain. This morning she seemed fine at first but didn't really want to eat her breakfast. She laid in her bed beside my computer desk in the kitchen (as she always does) and started to cry...I tried to comfort her but nothing seem to work...she was in some sort of pain. I knew I had to do something so I ended up taking her to the Horn Lake Emergency Pet Hospital (my vet is closed on Sunday and this is where the voice mail tells you to go) Acting strange is one thing, but her being in pain is a whole different situation. I had her put down at 9:30 am this morning. I got to hold her as she drifted to sleep and then went to heaven. I have had her since she was 6 weeks old and love her more than words can even express. She was 14 years old. Over the past couple of weeks she has been a little stingy with her kisses since she really hasn't been herself lately but she gave me a big kiss right before they put her down and I knew she was telling me it's going to be ok and Momma, you're doing the right thing. I am so sad and my heart is so broken right now. I've cried a million tears and it still continues to hurt so bad. I am going to miss her so much and I know that I will see her in heaven and that's really the only thing I can think about right now to get me thru this.

MissJ...I am really sorry to hear this, but you know you did what was right. I have always been a cat person myself, but last month, we decide to get Jordan a dog. We wanted something small that could stay in the house, and not scare Tyler as well. We got a toy rat terrier that was 6 weeks old and named her Oreo. Well, after 4 days, she started having siezures. We took her to the vet, and he thought she had a shunted liver. Since we don't have $1000 for surgery to correct this, we just hoped he was wrong, and got her some siezure meds. It slowed them down a little for a short time, but 3 days later, she had over 30 siezures in 3 hours in the morning, so we took her back in, and had to have her put to sleep. I cried like a baby, and only had her 7 days. So I do know how it hurts.

On the bright side, we adopted a new little dog Thursday. Her name is Hershey, as she is chocolate colored, and a real sweetie. Not sure of the breed yet, but the ladie says she shouldn't get over 20-22 pounds based on her age and size (10 weeks-4 lbs).

Our new little girl...Hershey

Hershey is beautiful!
I am so glad you got another pup, Kpig.
Congrats to the kids.

I am so sad to hear about your loss. I lost my dog several years ago. She had a heat stroke and died in my arms on the way to the animal hospital. I still think of her to this day. Our animals are members of the family and it can be devastating to lose them. Hang in there, it will get better with time.

MissJ, I wanted to also mention there is a great book that can help. It's called "Cold Noses at the Pearly Gates." I heard it was very comforting.

Sorry about your loss.

I lost my dog of almost 12 years last year, and know how hard it can be. It's amazing how dogs can become part of the family. He helped me through some really hard times, and I'm sure Savannah did the same for you. My thoughts are with you while you deal with the loss.

Janice, I am sorry and understand. Me and Mrs. Mc wish you well.

janice, we are so sorry for your loss. we recently had to put down our
sweet girl Taffy (1/13/06) because of bladder cancer. it was such a hard thing to do; but we know in our hearts we did the right thing cause we did not want her to suffer. God bless our four legged family members.

our thoughts and prayers are with you!

Thanks everyone for your sweet comforting words. I truly appreciate it. I'm now at day 3 and it's still really hard. I still miss her so much. I know it will get better with time. It's just so darn hard to be without her.
