Doing Hard Things

[Tri Girl]

{{{{Yellow and Caddis}}}}
I cry tears of sadness for you and tears of happiness for Caddis. She was a faithful and loyal companion and you showed her love and respect in her time of pain. You did a very difficult thing, but what was ultimately the right choice. I'm sorry for your suffering.

So sad for you. I still acutely feel the pain of the day in the spring when I had to do the same. My big 120-lb. pup walked with me to the end of the street, laid down, and never stood up again. When the vet told me he wouldn't get better, the decision seems like it should have been easy, but it wasn't. Like you, I'm glad I was able to be there with him.

I'm so, so sorry Yellow. I'm an animal person and am always sad to hear when a fellow TEer loses a pet. No matter how or when it happens, it's never easy.

Lots of hugs,

Yellow, my heart goes out to you. I can only imagine how painful it was to have to let your furry darlin' go. I have a nine-year old border collie named Samantha (incidently, nicknamed Sweetpea) who positively walks on water for me. Somewhere in the future lies the heartache of my life---the day I have to let her go. I'm already dreading it.........Take comfort in knowing that you gave your kitty a wonderful, wonderful life. And that, in turn, she added a rich and uniquely meaningful experience to yours. No doubt Sweet Pea knew from the tip of her nose to the tip of her tail as she drifted off that she was, and will always be, deeply and dearly loved.

I think gently leading our pets to The Bridge is the most difficult thing we endure, particularly during the holidays. I am very sorry for your loss and I hope with time your heart is comforted with the memories of wonderful moments you shared with Sweet Pea.

Oh, Yellow! I'm so sorry. Yes, this is one of the hardest things we do, but the right thing without a doubt.

Sending big hugs and loads of butterflies, some for Caddis to light her way and guide her to the Rainbow Bridge, and many for you to help you see her spirit all around you, to bring acceptance, to heal your sad heart.

hugs,
~T~

{{{Yellow}}}{{{Caddis}}} I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Katrina, Toby, Kallie will greet your Sweet Pea to Rainbow Bridge with loving licks and purrs...

Yellow - so sorry for your loss - It is so hard to lose a kitty and especially at the holiday times. We lost our Little Kitty 3 years ago on the eve of December 23rd. It was a very sad thing. I'm sure Little Kitty is at the Rainbow Bridge ready to pounce on your sweet Kitty. Hopefully, they will get along!
