Had to say good-bye to one of our pups

[ptrthgr8]

9/9/2014 was a sad day for us – after nearly 10 ½ years we had to say good-bye to our beloved Daisy. Our little doodlebug. Our baby girl. Over the last several days she was eating less and less and then over the past weekend she was even beginning to drink less. She was taken into the vet on Monday and diagnosed with a terminal kidney illness that would eventually lead to complete kidney failure. The vet told us we could probably get her on a regimen of pills and IVs and get another 6 months for her… but we all agreed that such a life would hardly be a quality life. So, we spent one last evening with our pretty little Beagle and spoiled her rotten – as much as we could anyhow – before returning to the vet the next day with heavy hearts.

My wife and I are both deeply saddened to no longer have Daisy in our lives, but we’re supremely grateful that this little furry ball of love was with us for as long as she was. She will be greatly missed, but never forgotten and cherished always.

My sincerest condolences. Went through that about a year ago. It's heartbreaking. They truly are family.

Sorry to hear that, if you've been through this before everyone knows the feelings, such a sad time. You have to just think of the years of good times against the few bad days at the end.

[tagheuer]

Sorry to hear that. My sincere condolences.

Sorry to hear about that, Greg. I've been there with two dogs in the past year. It's so hard to let go, and that drive to the vet is the worst 10 minutes of your life, but you get through it. Remember the happy times and all the memories. Dogs are the best animals on Earth!

Sorry for your loss Greg. Remember the great times you shared. A dogs life is always too short...

May God bless you and the family during this hard time. I'm dreading the day mine needs to take that final walk.

[madandana]

Sorry to hear. Beautiful Pup. Focus on the good times.

I'm sorry to hear that. They become members of our family which makes it hard to let them go. Condolences to you and your family.

I know the pain well. Sorry to hear.

Had to have our Rottweiler put down two years ago she was 14, still miss her thinking about this.

So sorry to hear the news. Beagles are the greatest family dogs too. My condolences to the family. Can't even imagine losing our Huckleberry Hound.

[WarriorPrincess]

sorry to hear Greg but like others have said...Remember the fun times and she will always be with you and your wife.

[westg]

Your pets are the best friends in the world....so sorry to hear..your beautiful beagle would have felt very loved by you Greg.

[Habana Mike]

Sorry to hear. We lost our 16 year old baby about 18 months ago so I understand your anguish.

We knew her end was near and my wife was already looking at rescue pups. Got our new dog about 6 weeks after which helped quite a bit.

Best to you and your family.

Am so very sorry. Losing a dog is never, ever easy.

"It came to me that every time I lose a dog he takes a piece of my heart with him. And every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of his heart.
If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are."--Cheryl Zuccaro

Hi Greg - Sorry to hear the saddest news mate. I know how you feel, had a similar tragedy occur with my first dog, he was 13 years old, we had to put him down also.

I think in light of your dogs condition, you did the kindest and most loving thing any dog owner and friend could do.

Best wishes to you and your family.

[rickmccarey]

Very sorry for you loss Pets become so close and important parts of our lives/families i can't imagine what you're going through. My boxer is my best friend as well.

Best to you and your family.

Sorry to you and your wife for your loss Greg. She was a beautiful dog. They depend on us to think of them first and make humane decisions, which is exactly what you did.

[Optic101]

Sorry to hear Greg. Went through this two times when I was young. It was very hard especially for my mum.

My sincere condolences.

[khamy]

They live such short lives but at least you can be assured as it is clear in the photo's she had a happy one filled with warmth and love.

Take care and all the best to your family during this time.
