our beautiful weimy cleo has gone. she was diagnosed with lymphoma in
september, at only 2 years old and yesterday we had to make the
painful decision to put her to sleep. she had been in remission and
doing so well but the last two lots of chemo had hit her hard.
the last one made her whiskers fall out and she never recovered from
it. it usually took her a day to get over it, but almost 3 weeks
later she was still poorly. she had an infection then began
collapsing. first her back legs, then her front legs began having
spasms. on new years eve she collapsed and had a small fit. we
decided to take her to my brothers house as planned to enjoy her last
night with all my family. (she wasnt in any pain, just scared when
she was fitting) for the first hour she had a lovely time and ate
loads of goodies and got spoilt rotten. then she began to deteriorate
and had 3 more fits. she looked so scared bless her. we took her home
and she snuggled up in bed with us for one last time. all the people
at my brothers wrote a message on a firework and sent it to heaven
for her. then in the morning we took her to be put to sleep. we took
her home and buried her in the garden, she looked so peaceful. my
husband and i havent stopped crying. its the hardest thing we have
ever had to do. i just pray that we made the right decision. we feel
robbed and cheated that she was so young and only lasted 3 months on
the chemo. but we also feel so blessed that we had her. she has had a
full dogs life, just squeezed into 2 years. love louise and her beautiful angel

Sorry to hear this. Don't think that you made the wrong decision. It's clear from what you wrote that you made the right one. The dog that I've never been able to forgive myself for is the one I let go on too long so that she died afraid and without dignity. No words will help right now, but it does get better with time.
Life is too short to hunt with an ugly hound

I am so sorry to hear about your beautiful girl

She had a wonderful two years with you and she knew how much you all loved her

With time the pain will ease and you will remember the good times you had with her .

So sorry to hear this. Take heart that you had the courage to make the decision that gave her peace.
I came into this world with nothing & with careful management I've managed to keep nearly all of it
Its such a hard thing to do - but you have been so brave. Your Cleo was a lucky girl to have you as owners, and she has known only love during her short life. Remember her with love - once the tears have fallen, you will be able to remember her with smiles.

So sorry to hear about your beloved Cleo. You so obviously did the only thing you could under the circumstances so please don't burden yourselves with guilt. As you say, you were blessed to have her - and she was blessed to have you.

So sorry Weezie, I have to say that it sounds as if you made sure her final hours were really special. Im sure if any of us had the choice we would want our last hours spent with family and then home for a bedtime cuddle. As frightened as she seemed, I bet she took a lot of comfort in knowing that you were there for her.
This has made me so sad, she sounds very special.
Enjoy your happy memories Cleo and run free at the bridge xxx
My goal in life is to be as good as my dog already thinks I am
I am so very sorry,I feel so sad for you run free Weezie.
God Bless.

so sorry to hear of your loss ... like you i lost my girl with the same cancer at 3 yrs old ...... and its so hard to deal with as they are so young ...... my heart goes out to you for your loss but im sure you made the right decision for her ..... you just have to think of all the good times you had together of which there are plenty im sure ...... run free cleo as you are meant to xxxxx

Never easy to make this decision, but so young! Really feel for you.
The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue.
I'm sure she was the brightest star of all in the sky that night. I am so, so sorry for you. But as everyone has said, you made the best decision for her, and that's what love is.
God bless Cleo
Kat

So sorry to read this. Run free Cleo free from pain.
