She was real restless last night not wanting to lay down and having a hard time breathing, I stayed up with her in the living room,she cried out a couple of times and then laid down for the last time. I was going to take her to our vet first thing this morning,I didn't want to drag to the emergency vet clinic in Cary fearing it be more than she could handle....off course now I feel guilty for not having done so...
I'm sorry. Please don't fret about not taking her in. There was probably nothing they could do and I'm sure she was probably happier being at home with you. :grouphug:
I'm so sorry for you loss Annette. :cry: Its not much consolation, but I'd be sure to call your vet and let them know what has happened, especially since they advised medication wasn't necessary at this time. Remember all the good times, and know she'll be waiting to see you again some day. :grouphug::grouphug:
Our four legged child passed away THE RAINBOW BRIDGE POEM When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Author unknown...
My sincere sympathies for your loss. Sending you peace and comfort during this difficult time ((HUGS)) Below is a poem that I have shared with many friends when their beloved fur child passed away. I hope it brings you some comfort. My Forever Friend I know that it must be different now that I am no longer here. I realize how much I was loved and how all of you did care. I know it will be hard at first when you look around for me. Expecting to find me in my bed or beside my favorite tree. Someday you will begin to see although it'll take some time, The happy times you shared with me , the memories are yours and mine. I'll remember you, my family,. and how much you meant to me. So please don't grieve and don't be sad, it was just my time to leave. Author unknown
I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. I know how hard it is when one of our "babies" passes away. Know that she is no longer in pain. Also she is not really gone because she will live on in your heart and in your memories. :grouphug:
Thanks everyone for your thoughts,prayers and kind words!! I'm glad that you all thought that she was happier dying at home!
my heart goes out to you and yours and i agree with kdc, her last moments were so much better with a loving a family than in a cold clinic:grouphug::grouphug:
