      Toni thank you for your kind words. I wouldn’t have wanted Colby to suffer and we did what we had to do but it is still hard not having him here. I miss him so much but I know he is healed and not suffering. I will try to be apart of the meetings. I know I would feel better sharing my story.

        Colby was 13 years old and we have been his family since he was born. He was a mommas boy and he was always with me. Colby started having seizures on 10-29 and the emergency vet tried to stop them but was unsuccessful so we had to let Colby go. It was the hardest thing we have ever had to do. It’s been 7 days and I am still struggling with Colby not being here. He was my baby. We miss him so much.

          Lost our fur baby on 10-29-23. My heart is broken. Depressed!
          • Christie, of course you are in deep pain, a pain like no other. It hurts at a cellular, soulful level, doesn’t it? 💔 Do you think that is because you and your baby shared so much love, joy and fun, and a unique relationship, that the pain of parting is made that much more acute? May I ask how long you were together? How old was this little darling? Was it unexpected? Please tell us more, Christie. And please jin our online kind, understanding group Nov. 16th to talk about everyting. We are here for you with empathy and {{BIG HUGS}}. Toni

              • Christie, that is so very hard – to see our babies falter and suffer. The morning my girl had her second seizure I took her in and we said goodbye. I felt “good” about her peacefully passing rather than falling from another seizure, but the pain of coming home to an empty house knowing she was never going to be here again, that is brutal. The pain is deep and we have to go through it. It’s sort of the payment we make for our years of love and joy together. You gave Colby the most selfless, generous and kind gift – release and relief. 💔Sometimes I think we wait too long to help them because we can’t stand the idea of saying goodbye. You love Colby enough to think only of his best interest. I hope you will join our group meeting Nov. 16th – it is good to share your story and we are here for you, Christie. With my deepest sympathy, Toni.

                  • Christie, it is such a mess of emotions and thoughts – in our heads we know we did the best for our beloved, but our heart and whole soul are bereaved. Please do join us if you can. I will be thinking of you. Toni
                    • Christie, I am so, so sorry for your loss of Colby 💔
                      • Thank you so much.
