| Barked: Tue Aug 22, '06 12:29pm PST |  |  |  |  | Shadow was my soul dog. She was our angel girl, she never did anything wrong. You can tell by her recent pictures that she had clouding in her eyes due to age and she also had a scar on one that caused some vision loss. She was 16-1/2 y/o and in liver failure when we helped her cross the Bridge in January.
That weekend, I was inconsolable. I cried constantly and wondered if we did the right thing. I thought that maybe we should have tried the IV under the skin. They told us that would possibly give her anywhere from a couple days to a couple of months. Maybe we didn't try hard enough for her. Well, that Sunday night before I went to bed I was crying and 'talking' to Shadow. I kept asking her to please let me know that we did the right thing. Monday morning I got up to get ready for work and on my way to the bathroom, I saw her at the top of the stairs! She was looking down the steps then she looked over at me. Her eyes were the clearest brown, no cloudiness or scarring. Then she disappeared! At first, I just thought I saw her because I missed her so much, so I didn't think anything of it. I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth and all of a sudden a calmness came over me and Johnny Nash's song "I Can See Clearly Now" popped into my head. The words are in her diary if you want to read them. I believe Shadow was telling me that we did the right thing and that she was ready. Yes, I miss her dearly and still get choked up now and again but I am at peace with it now. |  |  |  |  |

I really think she tried. The last couple weeks of her life she just wanted to sleep all the time and I just attributed it to old age. The evening before, I told her that if she didn't feel good and wanted to go, she could. The next day, we couldn't believe how fast her health declined. When we took her in to emergency, they told us she was in liver failure. Looking back, I think I knew something wasn't right with her but I was hoping I was wrong. We did what we had to do but I feel guilty because we waited probably a week longer than we should have and also because I still had some thoughts of keeping her. When the doctor came with the needle, Shadow jumped up into her daddy's arms (she was daddy's girl) and gave us each a kiss goodby. So I would say yes, they understand why and I knew then that Shadow was ready.
My thoughts are with you and I pray you eventually find peace. |  |  |  |  |

| Barked: Wed Jun 14, '06 10:32pm PST |  |  |  |  | Thank you for sharing that, I know how hard that is. I always thought how much better it would be if my babies would pass in their sleep. We've had three furbabies and only one did, the other two we had to help to the Bridge. Even though you're giving them one of the most precious gifts by helping them cross, you still feel so darn guilty. Then for me the 'what ifs' start coming...what if we would have done this or maybe we should have done that. I think the guilt and the second-guessing makes the loss all that much more painful. So I can sympathize with you and I'll cry with you and for you. Take care. |  |  |  |  |
