I do not understand your feelings of “guilt”. It seems you did everything, just everything you could for Rocket. I understand we are inclined to feel we could have done more, but what more could you or the doctors have done in such a situation? We second guess ourselves, chastise ourselves for not noticing something, or knowing more, but I am absolutely sure you always did what was in Rocket’s best interest and your feelings of guilt are misplaced. I hope you will be kind to yourself, as you know Rocket would be, and would want for you. Your grief is deep, and raw, and you should be in a puddle on the floor with sorrow (but please, no guilt). Princess Ping Pong is mourning too and knows you share this grief together. You are fortunate to have each other. Euthanasia is a gift of peace and release, a relief from current and future pain and suffering. It takes a tremendous amount of love and selflessness to let our beloveds pass with comfort even though we suffer the loss at the deepest cellular level. I admire you for your efforts over the years, and beg you to never feel a whiff of undeserved guilt. I am grateful to you for sharing the gallery of pictures that show Rocket’s personality and let’s us get to know him a bit, and share your grief. Please accept my sincere sympathy. Please also stay with us as often as you want, need or like so we can be here for you. It’s not much, but it’s heartfelt – here is my {{HUG}} for you and one for Princess Ping Pong {{HUG}}. Toni -

Remember 4 years, 10 months agoOur absolute SWEETNESS Rocket. Had him on several serious meds for 3 years for his liver and Cushings. Then last week he stopped wanting to eat and I took him in and his vitals were ok. The next day they took his bloodwork and then she came in and said he’s in acute kidney failure and his kidneys are shitting down. She said even if we hospitalize him he’d need to be on times for testing and not with us but that the outcome will be the same, so she had to put him down. They picked him up yesterday from the cremation place. I feel so sick inside and SO extremely guilty. Also trying to comfort my sweet Princess Ping Pong who’s looking for him, and sighing, and can’t stop crying and trying to talk to her and it kills me that I can’t help her understand, but I can’t even be,p myself 💔🙏🏼🥺-

I know exactly how you feel, the pain of choosing to put your poor baby down and the pain of not having Rocket with you. I just had to do the same with my poor Snickers I miss him every minute of every day. I am here for you I know the pain. Sending love ❤ and prayers 🙏

How are you and Princess Ping Pong doing now? May I ask your name if you are comfortable. All I have is Rocket’s Parents. I am thinking of you daily. Toni

Thinking about my baby Zoey, recently gone to Rainbow Bridge from bladder cancer. She was a rescue and was very very timid when I first brought her home. It took months to get her to trust and love. Her life was way too short with me.

Oh Dodi, how nice of you to share your home and heart with Zoey. There is nothing I can think of that is more generous and caring. We’re not in charge of anyone’s destiny, but we can give these charming innocents a good life for as long as they are “on loan” to us and you did just that. It’s seeing them falter, and saying goodbye that hurts us so much. I am so very sorry for your pain. I hope you find smiles before tears in Zoey’s memories. She was so adorable – thank you for the picture. Keep us posted on how you are doing.

@suebee Pixie! What a charming, happy name, Susan. I am very sorry you and Pixie had to part. Are you alright? What kind of pet was Pixie? May we see some pictures?

Thank you for your kind words, I just have to find a way to work through this. I’m reading some books now to try and help me. I’ve had other pets pass, but she’s been so very hard for me. -

How nice of you, Martha. I got the real cast today and am doing okay…just really angry at myself for being careless. It sounds as if Dianne’s injury is far worse and I hope she comes along well. -

Jeri, this is a terrible story and was a horrific time for all of you. Poor little Chloe. She was so lucky to have you provide such care and love. Sometimes there’s just nothing for it and exiting this world is a welcome gift. That’s what happened for Chloe. Of course you can’t forget it because of the way you saw her, but I suspect she was not aware after the seizures and brain event. One of the absolutely magnificent things about our pets is their stoicism, they don’t complain, and I try to take inspiration from them and follow suit. There is no time line or prescribed way to grieve, and it’s totally okay to laugh and smile with her memories as you move through. I an here, as is the community, so stay in close touch. I’d love to see some more pictures if you would share them? Here’s is a {{HUG}} as big as Chloe’s ears 🙂 -

Compere, you touch me deeply with the sweet pictures of beautiful Kee. I know she’s no longer suffering from her cancer. and for that you are grateful, but the hole in your soul is still weeping. You will always miss her, but with time, your memories will bring you more joy than the emptiness she left behind you are still feeling. I don’t know how long it will take, but am confident it will. Our community is here to understand and support you, and as you heal and find more joys, we hope you will also share that with us. I will be thinking of you. -
