Houndy is dying - prayers needed …
Tags:No tags
My hound mix, Feisty Ann, is dying per the vet. Had a mild stroke not long ago, but has a number things wrong. Now liver values are over 800 and are supposed to be about 100. I think she wanted to put her down then, but I needed more time to say godbye and come to grips. Her time is very short. I pray God takes the decision from my hands, but I don’t think he will. Please pray that I am strong enough to make the decision. I’m all alone in this. Ruth McD and Daisy

Ruth I am so sorry to hear about your baby. What you are facing is the hardest thing any of us face with out beloved pets.
I pray that when the time comes, you will have the strength to do what you feel is right in your heart.

Ohh Ruth, my heart goes out to you. I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you. We’ll pray for her and for you in this terrible time. Comfort yourself in the knowledge that she will be where all dogs play for eternity - across the Rainbow Bridge.

Kipling sure knew what he was talking about.

Dear Ruth,
I am so sorry to hear about Feisty Ann. You will do what you feel is right for you and for her. Your love for her is strong and she knows this and draws comfort from it. Laura’s quote is so very true. If I can help please contact me, I was going to call you but your info isn’t in the old members book that I have. I am keeping you and Feisty Ann in my prayers Ruth and sending you a long distance hug.

I am so sorry to hear about you beloved dog. My husband and I just went through it in April with our dear 10 year old English Springer Spaniel who had squamous cell carcinoma in his throat. Making the decision to let him go was one of the most difficult things I have ever done, but we knew when it was time. Just be there for her and hold her and know that she is trusting you to do what is best for her. Tears are flowing as I type this….prayers for both of you.

THE ETERNAL WHISTLER
Author unknown
It is the Eternal Whistler
Who goes whistling through the sky;
And at his heels run the weary dogs
Who have come to him to die.
He whistles them over the far-off clouds
And up to the shining gate,
And then he whistles a different tune,
And they sit, and they pant, and they wait.
Then he whistles a sudden, piercing note,
And s-l-o-w-l-y the gate swings wide,
And when nobody’s looking… Saint Peter winks…
And hustles them all inside.

So sorry that you are going through this by yourself. I will pray for you both.

Ruth, I am so sad to hear about Fiesty Ann. We all have had to make decisions with our babies and it is never easy, even when you know the end is near for them. Just want you to know I am thinking of you and your babies. Let me know how things are going with you. Best wishes.

You will do what your heart feel’s.. I had to put “Buddy’s” dad down for about the same reason (he was 17) But just knowing she will be where all dogs play across the Rainbow Bridge and I know all the animals will show her were to go and help her..Yep it’s hard but we go on… “Pal” (Buddy’s homan)
Also from us too Buddy,Lucy,Rocko,Runner
