Goodbye Sweet Maggie Bear

[Aggie_Ama]

Last night we took Maggie to the rainbow bridge. It was terrible but her time. I thought with the kidney failure and this weekend neurological problems the vet thought might be a brain tumor it would be easier but we bawled like babies. A couple of the techs that were real attached to her came by to say goodbye and were so teary. I hate hugging but I welcomed our vet's hug after he had said she was gone. He told us we fought longer than most people and bought 4 great months by being willing to do the Subcu so long. He said without the care we were willing to do she wouldn't have fought so hard for us. It doesn't help to blame the overbreeding she was subjected to but I was so sad because she deserved more than 9 years.

I thanked DH for letting me bring a 4 year old dog into our lives. He thanked me for finding her. She was such a sweet soul, this is going to hurt awhile.







First day she arrived:

So sorry to hear about your loss. She had a great life with you! Thank you for taking on an older adoption.

Oh, Amanda. I'm so sad to hear about Maggie. What a sweet face. Having just lost my Tasha, I know what you'r going through. {{{{hugs}}}}

*hugs* I'm sorry

[papaver]

I really feel for your loss. I'm sure she will be your gardian angel as from now.

I'm so sorry, but I'm sure you did what was best for her.

I am so sorry for your loss. She was so beautiful and what a loving soul you were to adopt her. Having been in the same place, I can totally empathize. I'm sending hugs and heart-mending healing vibes your way.

Oh Amanda - I'm so very sorry. I think all of us who have followed you in this journey were dreading the day we would see this post. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

It will hurt - for a long time. Don't be hard on yourself right now - you will cry - sometimes when you least expect it. You will never forget, and it won't stop hurting, but gradually the happy memories will overtake the pain of losing her. You truly did everything you could have - including letting her go when it was her time.

Hugs to you both.

You gave her a great life, and she was as lucky to have found you as you were to have found her. My sympathies.

I'm sharing your tears, Ama. She was a most excellent dog.

Amanda, i'm sorry you had to say goodbye to your lovely Maggie Bear. I know you & your hubby worked hard for her.

Please remember, you're a good human

Aggie Ama, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure that many TE fur-babies have welcomed Maggie Bear over to the other side of the Rainbow Bridge and that they're having a huge party right now.

Amanda, I am so very sorry to hear this news. I know you are grateful for the extra weeks you had with Maggie Bear since she became so ill. This is one of the most difficult things we as humans have to face, losing our beloved pets. Nearly everyone here has been there with you, so we understand completely.
