I'll be taking a break for a while...

Due to a very tragic event, I will be losing one of my dogs today. Euthanizing her was the hardest decision I've ever had to make, but one that seems best in this situation. My heart is broken and my whole body aches, but knowing that she will be surrounded by people who love her as she passes quietly gives me a little comfort. I'll be going this afternoon to say my goodbyes. God, please give me strength to get through this day.


Daisy was the first dog I ever owned, as I never had childhood pets, and the past five years I've had with her have been the best. She is a very sweet girl who loves to cuddle and finish my cereal, and I will miss her terribly.


Because of this unforeseen tragedy in my life, I will be disconnecting for a while in order to spend some quality time with the rest of my family. I wish no one would ever be faced with a decision such as this, and I can't apologize enough to those who have.

  3. I am so sorry to hear this. I can't imagine what this is like--I haven't had to go through this yet. My childhood dog was euthanized while I was away at college, so it wasn't quite as hard as having to actually be around for it.

    My thoughts are with you.

  4. So sorry for your loss. I know how it feels to have to put down a beloved pet, how very difficult it is. You just wish they could live as long as you do, you know? So you would never have to say goodbye.

  9. That is heartbreaking. I admire you for being strong enough to make the hard decision of doing what is best for your dog. Many people cannot make that decision.
