    I'm glad you had a few more good days together. I'm so sorry that they seem to have come to an end. Keeping you all in my thoughts.

    Thinking of you and your family. These past few days were a real gift for both you and Maggie. You will get through this terribly hard part. Later on you will feel better inside knowing that you did everything you could to keep her healthy and happy. My heart goes out to you.

    This has all been so hard for you and your husband but you have both done the best possible.

    Little Maggie Bear has had a wonderful life with you, so much love and care. You can remember all the good times plus you saved her so many times and you have helped take away any hurt and pain, nobody could have done anymore.

    My heart and prayers go out to you.

    Hugs.

    Aggie, just to add my support, Maggie is so fortunate to have found you and your husband. She may have had a rough start in life, but you gave her joy and hope and love. No one could ask for anything more.

    Hugs to you all.

    Ah, I'm so sorry.

    A Texas Mountain Laurel is a lovely tribute. It is my favorite tree.

    I know it, DH knows it so why can't I stop crying?
    because you love her! I went through something very similar about a year ago--and most of the people posting here have clearly been through some version of this, too--and it is really heart-wrenching every single time. I find it interesting that we are given constant opportunities to love beautiful beings we know from the beginning most likely won't outlive us. But we love them, anyway. And we do it again and again, and accept that our hearts will break.

    My thoughts and prayers for you, Maggie, and your DH.

    Oh crap -- I am so very sorry, Amanda!

    Our Pepper (Boston Terrier we had before Paisley) had one final terrible weekend with cluster seizures, and we made an appt. to bring her to the vet on a Monday morning too (12/18/06). We knew it was going to be the end as well -- so I do know what you are going through. We were both there with her when her vet administered the euthanasia shot, and we took her home and buried her in our back yard. It was a terrible day, but it comforts me greatly to see the stone we put on her grave.

    Peace to you at this worst of times...

    I feel awful not having seen this thread earlier.
    My heartfelt sympathies at all you and she have been through, and deep empathy.
