Dear Pam.
How awful, I feel so sad for you. Like most
others on the list I know the pain of loosing my dogs, and when things
happens so quick and so unexpected as they did for Eliza it is double painful.
With the very old dogs slowly getting to the end, you can prepare yourself
mentally, but loosing one unexected within a day or a few days is
worse, it is so difficult to take in.
For what it is worth I think you did the right
thing, it doesn't do either the dog or the owner any good to drag out the
pain.
Later you will be able to enjoy thinking of all the
good times you had with her.

Subject: [pyrnet] Another one over the
Rainbow Bridge
To day I have some sad news to share. This morning I had to have
Eliza put to sleep. She had just celebrated her 9th birthday and didn't
appear to be feeling well. I took her to the vet yesterday morning
because she was not eating and appeared to be bloated. She walked in to
the vet's office, but by the time the xrays were over she could barely
walk. The vet referred me to a diagnostic clinic across town where Eliza
had all sorts of tests run and spent the night. It appeared, among other
things, that she had Addison's disease type symptoms and her liver was
shutting down. Everything happened so quickly, I couldn't believe
it. I went this morning knowing that I was going to say goodbye.
She was alert and knew I was there. I held her and talked to her as
she took her last breaths. She is at peace now and I, of
course, am left with the pain. I know I did the right thing by sending
her over the Rainbow Bridge. She can join all the other dogs sent with
love before her.
Good-bye, dear Eliza. You always were such a good girl!
