[quote=Anonymous]We had to put our dog down in June of 2023. She was almost 16 and had bladder cancer; she went through two rounds of chemo and did SO well up until the very last week. We knew it was time, even though our hearts were breaking. We chose to have someone come to our home and it was the best decision. We all got to tell her how much we loved her and how thankful we were being in our lives. They stayed with us afterward for as long as we needed. I asked them if they could put part of her ashes in a small bag, so we could have jewelry made. I had rings made for myself and my kids from someone I found on Etsy. Literally, it was the hardest decision of my life, but as my Vet said - keeping her around so we could have one more day with her may make us feel better, but it extends her pain and suffering tenfold.

I had a really hard time with it, and I still cry at least once a week. I started on an anti-depressant and it has helped me to function. I still miss her every single day. Sending you all of the strength and peace as you go through this.[/quote]
