I am another really pathetic dog lover. I had to put my eldest dog to sleep 2 summers ago and it was very difficult. But, like you said, I knew it was time. We had been contemplating it for over 2 years and I kept saying "I think we will know when it is really time"...and I did. I had to do the hardest thing for me, to save her from the pain. Not a day goes by that I do not miss her. But, I do not regret it--it was the right thing to do at the right time. She was a little dog who lived 15+ great years. Us dog lovers know that this is one of the most difficult decisions you have to make. God bless you during this time!Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06105251226586343991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533892733643710869.post-45901666262181792662008-07-09T10:29:00.000-07:002008-07-09T10:29:00.000-07:00Hi Brandi, my name is Steph - and I'm a friend of ...Hi Brandi, my name is Steph - and I'm a friend of Liz Fischer. I read your blog from time to time when I decide to "stalk" Liz's friends...and I just had to leave a comment on this post! This breaks my heart for you - and I'm sitting at my desk crying! I LOVE my dog so much too - and he is starting to get old and I constantly think of what it is going to be like when it comes "time". What a tough time for you - but when you stated you will do whatever you have to for Nikki, it leads me to believe you will know when to do it and you will do the right thing! The love of a dog is the greatest!!! I wish you and your family the best through this time! And regardless of when the time comes, I believe Nikki will go straight to doggie heaven...because she obviously served her purpose here on earth - bringing you tons of love and happiness!!! My thoughts are with you!Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04765527295254890607noreply@blogger.com
