My Gracie is dying

[Ladyhawk]

My beautiful 13 year old lab has kidney failure and the doc says this is her last weekend. I am so grateful for the time I had with her she welcomed Timeh into the house without question. Timneh calls her by name and tells her to come here complete with whistle and kiss'. I'm so sad hoping to make this a good last weeekend with her but the fluids and shot isn't helping her and she doesn't want to drink or eat. I couldn't let her go yesterday and I fear I may have made a selfish decision. But I love her so much, I needed more time to say good bye. Timneh snuggled with me yesterday before our vet appointment, instead of darting for the fridge for a treat she pushed her head under my chin and snuggled for awhile much needed love. Thanks for listening you guys are always so kind and helpful.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a much loved companion feels like someone took a melon baller to your soul and scooped it out piece by piece. In your grief, make sure you find some kind of support. :smile024::smile024::smile024:

You have my sympathy, Billdore. It's so very difficult losing a wonderful, loved pet, and the memories will always be poignant. We lost our girl (dog) Echo a year and a half ago, and I still turn around sometimes, expecting her to be there.

When things are really quiet in our house, our CAG Reno will sometimes say "Where's Echo? I can't find Echo!", and it never fails to bring tears to my eyes.

There's a saying - you're never truly gone until your name has been spoken for the last time. Keep Gracie in your heart, remember the love and good times, speak her name often, and she will never be truly gone.

Thank you everyone for helping me through this rough week. Gracie is in a better place now. The love and understanding from everyone here is amazing and so helpful in healing the soul. I can't thank everyone enough. Timneh has been doing her best to cheer me up a non stop chatter box. She even finally spoke to my Mom who was also very sad and very happy to finally hear Timneh chat it up. Gave her a couple extra nutri berries for being so awesome and understanding. Going to focus on training Timneh this summer with her harness, and skateboard. Although our current deck is a little too small and we need to upgrade our skateboard. I just ordered a care package from amazon for Timneh and my 11 year old puggle Bella who's also been amazing through this time. I now have someone waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge, I can't let her down.

Aren't animals amazing? So sweet that Timneh has "stepped up" to the task of comforting and cheering you. Sending much love.

I'm so very sorry about the loss of Gracie. It's always so hard losing those near and dear to us. I had to put our little lady (Yorkie-poo) down 6 yrs ago. I miss her terribly still. (((hugs)))

My deepest condolences for your loss of Gracie. She knew your endless love and compassion. Allowing her to pass peacefully in her home was a beautiful gift.

I am sure Timneh and Bella will be an inspiration while you grieve Gracie's loss.
