Today is the day that Kaia is getting put to sleep. I am so very heartbroken and sad. I can barely look at her. I know this is right but it feels so wrong. I just wanted to thank every single one of you that has helped me along the way. Kaia has literally been a roller coaster ride. She is an awesome dog and she will be missed so very much by everyone that met her. It has helped tremendously to be able to talk about everything and to get back such great support. This is going to be the hardest thing in the world to do.
She doesn't go in until 3:00 today and that is about 6 hours away. I just wanted to say thank you all for being here for me when it is needed the most. And I will need help in finding a new pup eventually for my Koda Bear. He will need a buddy. Thank you all so much!
Also, thank you for all the prayers and good wishes that went out for Kaia.
Oh Katz.......I cannot imagine what your day must be like. I have dreaded seeing the 8th get here as well. I honestly have tears in my eyes just thinking about your situation.....and the hardest part of the day hasn't even gotten here yet.
I know that words can't change your feelings right now, but just know that she will not have to suffer anymore. Death is a release. You are releasing her from her pain and suffering.
Do not feel guilty. Feel proud.....that you made her last days/months here as enjoyable as they could be. You LOVE her. You allowed her to experience LOVE again. She was a throw away....in a shelter.....a dog that no one wanted.....she could have been pts there without ever knowing love again.....but YOU changed that. You gave her a home.
It is not your fault (or hers) that she is sick. In her absence, another life will be saved. You will get another dog....you heart is just too big. Maybe you could name the new dog something in memory of her.
My thoughts and sympathies are with you and your family today. Please come and talk to us tonight. Just pour out yor soul. We are here for you and all of us understand the choice you had to make. You will not ever be judged for it. You made the only 'right' decision there was to make.
Please know that hugs, love and prayers are being sent your way today, I'm sorry for your soon to be loss. Just know that everything will be better for her once it's over.
If you every want to talk I am always here. I know what it is like having to put one of our furry babys asleep. It is very heartbreaking. One last kiss for Kaia.
i will keep you and your family in my prayers today. its a very hard thing to go through. i still miss our little peke, toy, but i know i did the only humane thing that i could for her. time will heal and you will too. and you can know that she is in a better place.
"I Loved You Best"
So this is where we part, My Friend, and you'll run on, around the bend, gone from sight, but not from mind, new pleasures there you'll surely find. I will go on, I'll find the strength, life measures quality, not its length. One long embrace before you leave, share one last look, before I grieve. There are others, that much is true, but they be they, and they aren't you. And I, fair, impartial, or so I thought, will remember well all you've taught. Your place I'll hold, you will be missed, the fur I stroked, the nose I kissed. And as you journey to your final rest, take with you this...I loved you best.
Katz, you are in my thoughts on this sad day. Kaia will always have a special place in your heart as she now watches over all of you and is wagging her tail without the pain and confusion she had been having. She was so lucky to have been a part of your family and know the joy of love as you were to have her. You have shown true love by helping her be released to the Bridge where she will patiently await the day when she is reunited with you.
