You Will Forever Live On In My Heart

I just stopped by to let you all know that my beloved Zeke was laid to rest at about 9:45 this morning. I said my good-byes to him and left the room while my man stayed with him until the end. Since I had the option, I chose to have my last memory of him be one where he was still alive. I waited out in the waiting room and when my man came out he was crying too. All three of the technicians had hugged and kissed him and said good-bye and they all hugged me and cried with me.

I know deep down in my heart that this was best for him and he's not hurting or struggling anymore, but it doesn't make it any easier. I'm thankful that I had the chance to say good-bye to him and to spoil him a little bit before. My heart is goes out to all of those who lost their pets suddenly.

Thankfully, I have some great memories of Zeke and thanks to those memories he will forever live on in my heart.

Zeke, I hope that wherever you are, you're happy and that you can run and jump and play and do all of the things you couldn't. I love you very much and will cherish your memory everyday of my life. Thank you for all the joy and love you brought me.

I'm so sorry Hon. I understand how much your lovely Zeke meant to you.

And you are correct, Zeke is running, playing and is healthy and happy in Heaven. And he'll be watching over you, (and looking forward to seeing you again when it's your time!)You were a GREAT Mom to him!

BIG HUG to you.

DM-It actually puts me closer to him. And when he and I talked about it, he told me that it was never a matter of distance.

It must have been a hard day, but as you point out it was probably the right decision

Lots of love, Rackie. Thay may have been the hardest thing you'll ever have to do, and you were right in your choice.

So glad your man was there for both of you, and glad you have so many great memories of Zeke.

I'm terribly sorry about Zeke. I dread the day that something will happen to my dog, and having to put her to sleep would be a very hard decision for me. Hang in there.
