Thread: Euthanasia - so conflicted - need help

Mybaby, As I read your letter I could feel your pain, it breaks my heart to think of the agony you are going through. It is bad enough to be homeless and still need to care for your pets. The hardest thing we have to do is say good bye to our babies. I know you will make the right decision for your pet and yourself. Just remember that when you do, your baby has had a good long happy life and no one can take that away from either of you. Be brave, things will get better with time and God bless.

Thanks guys. I've been thinking about this sentence I'm hearing a lot right now..."you'll make the right decision." Maybe there isn't one "right" decision here but that the decision I make will be right. Watching her today she seems absolutely normal. No blatant signs of pain today. So putting her down just seems cruel and selfish. I'm a ball on a ping pong table it feels like. I've had to put other cats down but never from old age and it was very clear it was time. This one is just so hard to figure out. I guess when it really is time I will know that. Yes, she has had a very good life with me. Though she's hated having siblings over the years she has been safe and healthy and very well loved. Thank you so much for your support. It means a lot to me. Still figuring it out. She's 11yrs here.

Mybaby, That is a beautiful baby. I think we all use that sentence, because as the saying goes "This is not my first rodeo" I think of the pets I have had and loved and there is not one of them that does not bring tears to my eyes. One day, I will have to say goodbye to Ginger and it will break my heart. But for now, I will love her and take care of her and do the best to make sure she has a happy healthy life, that is all we can do as pet parents. As fellow humans, we can lend a shoulder and give comfort to those that are going through that too. ((((Mybaby))) Hugs to you that it will get better. God bless
