Yes, it is very hard to lose a pet. Always thinking but how can we end a life? We may end a life but the spirit and memories will never die.Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03929669066864445810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711314660374261745.post-32356095792692844762009-10-16T15:14:10.418-07:002009-10-16T15:14:10.418-07:00I&#39;m so, so sorry. <br /><br />Exactly three weeks ago I was in the <i>exact same place</i>, so I can not only sympathize, I can empathize. Grendel&#39;s story sounds exactly like Marley&#39;s. On Thursday, we became sure that it was time, but we had to wait for a Friday morning appointment. It was one of the hardest nights I&#39;ve ever spent, thinking about the morning, knowing I was doing the right thing for her, but also knowing that it was still a terrible, terrible thing. I felt as you did, so very conflicted. I wanted the morning to come so she wouldn&#39;t be suffering in pain anymore; I wanted the morning never to come.<br /><br />My thoughts are with you, Grendel, and your family.jen @ negative lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09491566862726424171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711314660374261745.post-76862559768780086432009-10-16T07:47:36.837-07:002009-10-16T07:47:36.837-07:00I&#39;m so very, very sorry. :-(ajnabihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08296593338690811213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711314660374261745.post-64558985613881386122009-10-16T07:43:42.526-07:002009-10-16T07:43:42.526-07:00I have tears in my eyes.

When they came downstairs the morning they were to take him to the vet, they found his lifeless body curled up in his favorite spot in front of the patio door, as if he chose to put them out of their misery too.<br /><br />Death is part of life, but my heart goes out to all of you.JamaGeniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16973656461323918279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711314660374261745.post-27135451888190944392009-10-15T20:13:04.363-07:002009-10-15T20:13:04.363-07:00I&#39;m so sorry, but I know words aren&#39;t enough.barkingupthewrongtreehttp://barkingupthewrongtree.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711314660374261745.post-10794619974545215142009-10-15T19:21:19.327-07:002009-10-15T19:21:19.327-07:00I&#39;m so sad for you and your sweet Grendel.

Just last month we had to put our cat to sleep - she was 18. We got her when she was six weeks old. It was one of the hardest decisions we ever made, and we felt the same way you say you are feeling - like we were betraying her. Especially because she was still eating and wanting to snuggle...she was so very sick and it was like she had absolutely no feeling of it at all. But there was nothing the vet could do for her, and it was only going to get much worse.<br /><br />You are doing the right thing. I will be praying for you in the morning. Stay strong.Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03135002758850018023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711314660374261745.post-73573596648905532082009-10-15T16:57:25.082-07:002009-10-15T16:57:25.082-07:00I had decided Saturday morning that Monday would be the day we took matters into our own hands.

Suddenly, the fast paced (gobbildy gook) of my business day evaporate as I continue to read. I am lighting a white candle in hopes to bring your Dearest Grendel peace. My prayers go out to you and your family. I can only imagine the amount of anguish you feel from having to make such a difficult decision. Know that as Grendel&#39;s life is fleeting, the love you surround her with is everlasting.<br />(hug)Eddie Starrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11653698319089931651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711314660374261745.post-38954056492755897152009-10-15T14:06:07.553-07:002009-10-15T14:06:07.553-07:00I know you have been dreading this day for so long.

She sounds like is a wonderful part of the family. Lay near her and let her know that you love her no matter what. Remind your other dog that he will always be loved the same way.
