Shayna leaving us

I just joined i need support.i have to pts my Shayna today.She is failing quick.She is 16 and 1/2 and has a huge mass in her abdomen and not eating anymore.Its so sad. i cant stop crying.i never had to do this. i dont want her suffering but i cant stop crying and i cant imagine life without her,Support from ppl who have been there or can relate please.She (and her sister who is here; thank God)are my children!!

She has lived a long life with you, and I am sure she cherished every moment of it with you. Try to remember all the good times you've had with her.

Just remember, you are ending her pain, not her love. *hugs tight*

Thank u for the loving thoughts.I still cant stop crying.i am glad i found this site and hope to hear  from others that had to go through the same.it hurts so bad for her pain and my loss.

I'm so sorry.  I lost my baby Skittles when she was 17-1/2 years old.  She had kidney disease.  I always called her my "only child" and I sure loved her like a child.  It was the hardest decision I ever made in my life to put her to sleep but in the end, she was suffering and it was time to let her go.  That was three years ago and I still miss her.  

It's such an awful thing to go through, but you are doing what's right for her.  Even though it doesn't seem like it now, it will get easier as time goes on--and I'm so glad you have another kitty to keep you company, she will help you.

I'm very sorry you're going through this. It's such a difficult thing to have to do, even when you know you're preventing or taking away pain and fear. A peaceful passing is the last gift we can give to our beloved fur babies, and one we owe them for all the years of love.

One of our members wrote When the moment comes... , and his words helped me when our Jamie had to be euthanized at the beginning of March.

So many of us of been right where you are now,  and it hurts so bad.   It truly will get better with time, but you will never forget her, and all the wonderful times you had together.  She knows you love her, and you are sacrificing your heart for her, to give her peace and take away her pain.

Our thoughts are with you

I'm sorry too. I didn't have to make this kind of decision...my baby starting gasping in the night and left me before I could even call the vet. All I could do was hold him and cry. I wish I'd had the opportunity to say some things and let him know how much I loved him. At least you will be able to hold your baby when it is her time. It doesn't make it hurt less I'm sure...but if I'd known I was going to lose my baby that night, I'd have held him every second of the day until he took his last breath. I didn't get to do that. It's not fair! It sucks and it hurts! But you're not alone in this pain.

Thank you all for your thoughts and sorry for your losses.Today is 1 week and 1 day and i still am crying.I cant sleep at night without her in my bed.I kiss her pics  and try 2 pet her.I wrote her a poem.Ppl that don't have furry children don't understand.And we all no that each one is different and special in their own way.There is never enough time with them!

This is so true .  Everything you said.  Each little furry one has their own unique personality , and people who aren't animal lovers just don't "get it".  Their loss.  (I, personally, like furbabies much better than real babies ) 

My Sven died in March of 2012, and I still get teary eyed when I think about him, and especially when I "talk" to him.  In my Avatar pictures, he's the one on the pink blanket.  My soul kitty

You should post the poem you wrote Shayna right here on her bridge page.  It might help you with her crossing.

Here is the poem i wrote to Shayna ..Shayna I love you and miss you so much   I'd give anything for us to touch.I can remember adopting you,and your sister Punim too.I love you both the same,but at night my little  lover you became.It hurt me soo much to see you fail.It was to the point where you didn,t have "happy tail". Four days you had no food,but you were still so strong keeping a good mood. I know you wanted to be with me and all day long your face I see. You were so smart, I have a broken heart.Punim and I are still here.She misses you too even through her fear.WE were four,then we were three.Now it's just Punim and me.  I LOVE AND MISS SHAYNA SO SO MUCH, I LOVE SHAYNA TO TOUCH.I LOVE SHAYNA EVERYDAY! I LOVE SHAYNA IN EVERYWAY!!!!!!!!!! LOVE ALWAYS  MOMMY
