My anxiety is in overdrive because I am stressing over Princess’s vet appointment tomorrow.I feel super sick over this.In my heart,I know what has to happen,and I know it would be selfish of me to not ease her transition to the Bridge.My heart is breaking.She has been my best,loving little best friend in the world.

If it’s what is best for her, keep that top of mind. It doesn’t matter when you have to part, it’s going to hurt you, no matter how much time you get to have together. But if she is suffering and facing declining health, becoming more uncomfortable and being unhappy just going through what she is, it’s the supreme kindness, unselfish gift you can give her. It hurts from deep, deep within, but it hurts everyday you see her suffer, too. This way, she will pass in peace. You can know you acted only in her best interest, not your own, because we would keep them forever if we could. This is why I shared what helped me after saying goodbye to Beauty Girl (petting and sleeping with a stuffed toy, having a picture of her made, donating her food and things to the shelter), and why our community is here to share their experiences and moving through the terrible emptiness and grief. Dianne, you WILL find the pain easing, and you will have times when the tears and pain flood over and through you. But, please try to think of the great life, love and joy you shared. She could have lived on the streets and had a horrible life, but you gave her all you could and I hope you will think kindly of yourself. Now, you let us know what the vet says, and if you do say goodbye, clip a little fur to save- I did that and am glad to have a bit of my beloved with me. We are all here for you. {{HUG}} -
so very sorry, it is never an easy decision to make. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
