bogarde73,

Sorry for your loss.

We do miss the presence of our beloved pets when they 'pass'.

In the days and weeks after they pass, we still yearn to see them, every day.




Dear Yadda,

The mainstream Christian churches, when I enquired, said definitely no critters in their heaven, however, the JW's promote the opposite, a heaven where babies and tigers will sleep side by side.

What say you?

Well, just been to have another one put to sleep. Like to be there. That's 3 in a few months. The vet thought last night it might be snakebite but couldn't be sure. $1100 a shot for anti-venom.
Turns out it wasn't, most probably heart failure. He was in terrible distress & his veins were collapsed and difficult to get the barbiturate in.

Why can't doctors be allowed to do it for people? Beats me. What kind of idiot would be against it?

well you have had your share thats for sure....I am sorry to hear of the pain poor thing and poor you... I am sure it was for the best maybe a stroke..which I believe is very painful...I hope I am saved from one of those...my one big dread,..

.I am not sure about euthanasia  for humans its  a big ask.....I just would not like to be the one to make that decision being a coward.... is it about them or yourself??... Roll Eyes Roll Eyes.. too many people cannot be bothered with sick or aged....and I feel in the future that will get worse.....the attitude I mean....

My condolences too, Bogarde and Redneck.

I was very surprised at myself when I took my first cat to the vets to be put down. Got all choked up and misty-eyed ... well, okay, it's true ... I came out of the vet's office and into the Waiting Room looking and sounding a bit distraught, I'll admit that.

Something like this guy.

That's rough, Bogey.

I truly feel for you, having been there myself. Cry

My heart goes out to all who have lost a four legged friend.  I always think it is so sad that they can't live as long as we do.  Our last dog, a girl called Fred was only 10 when we had to have her put to sleep, one of the saddest days of my life.

Had to have the grandson's rabbit put down today.
Myxomatosis is rampant and no vaccination is allowed. Understand that perfectly.
Apparently it's carried by just about any insect, I had thought it was just mosquito-borne.
The only way to protect a pet rabbit is to have it in a flyscreen-sealed hutch and never take it out. Not much fun in that.

Lordy, you've had a rough trot, Bogarde.

Once these pets look you in the eye, wag their tail, and try to lick your face - they've got you hostage for life. It's the same with cats, only they wag their tails so fast they don't look as though they're moving.

A couple of weeks ago a stray Staffordshire Bull Terrier - low to the ground, massively broad head, solidly muscled, dripping mouth - caught sight of my cat 'Sooty' in the front yard where there's no fence to the street, and that started a race where Sooty JUST made it through a slot under the house with these massive jaws quite literally a foot away from crunching down on him.

It was a heart-stopper.

A few years ago another cat of mine didn't make it, and was dead before I even got to her.

And now, after 26 years of having no front fence, I'm in the process of building one that has vertical rods which allow the cats access from the nature-strip out front, but filters out the stray dogs.

I was given a ridiculous quote for the gate and fencing, and so I've bought all the panels and parts and am doing it myself.

Annoyingly, my neighbours wanted to help me with this project, but I buzzed them off as pests. Nothing annoys me more than having to carry on an inane and pointless conversation without any pauses while doing a piece of work with people who have no inner-life whatsoever and whose boredom threshold is so low it demands a constant stream of verbal attention from me.

These sort of people are legion, and it was the worst aspect of the 6 years of casual work I did after leaving my permanent job and reaching retirement age ... an ENDLESS appetite for noise-making to fill the emptiness in their minds.

But I digress.

Had to have one of the dogs put down this morning. Cancer.
It's always difficult. Funny thing is, it's only a few weeks ago I had a guy here with a trench digger and I got him to dig 4 little graves because all the dogs are very old.
Didn't think I'd be using it so soon.



The Rainbow Bridge




...





There is a bridge connecting Heaven & Earth. It's called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors.

Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills, & valleys, with lush green grass.

When a beloved little friend dies, they go to this special place. There is always food & water, & warm, Spring weather.

There, old & frail animals are young again. Those who were maimed are made whole again. They play all day with each other.

But there is only one thing missing - they are not with their special persons who loved them so on earth.

So, each day they run & play until the day comes when one of them suddenly stops playing & looks up. The nose twitches, the ears are up, the eyes are staring & this one suddenly runs from the group.

You have been seen, & you & your special friend meet, you take your loved one in your arms & embrace. Your face is kissed again & again, & you look once more into the eyes of your trusting friend. Then you both cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated......


~ ~ ~


I feel with you friend......I too lost my little girl on Boxing Day, 2016. She quietly battled to give us a happier Christmas, but she could fight no longer, & sadly she passed silently the day next......I know she is waiting for me there ..... no longer burdened with the pains of her short life, & eagerly, she's looking forward to our eternity together -- at each others side....

My friend had put her dog down yesterday. I was around the night before to see the dog for the last time. The dog recognised me, but I was not sure if it really recognised me. The dog was either reacting to someone being there, or someone being someone she knew. In either case, the dog was so senile that I don't think her quality of life was all that good.

My friend was getting pretty drunk that night because she could not really come to terms with seeing her dog being put down the next day. Possible that she was having second thoughts. What I do know is that she took plenty of photos that night, and the last days were a matter of visiting the park and the beach for a final run around.

This is a sad thread.

That little story - the Rainbow Bridge, was heartbreaking.

Anyone who's owned a special pet would shed a few tears after reading that.

I don't know your friend, but I know how she feels. Vets always tell you that you should get your pet euthanised when it reaches a certain point. Sometimes we instinctively know when it's time - then to put if off, we convince ourselves there might be an improvement in a few days. Dogs know when they're going to be put down. They can read our feelings so well. When we're sad - they're sad.

The last couple of times I've had to get an animal put down - the vet has given me valium to give to the animal just before taking it in for the last time. It's helped the pet detach from reality. It makes the process easier when you can see that the animal doesn't know or care what's going on.
