Goodbye Old Friend

By
Home Inspector with Safe At Home Inspections,Inc.

Hello everyone . Had a tough day yesterday. My trusted beloved family dog Haley of 11years had to be put to sleep. Shewas a great dog a big black Labrador with a heart of gold. She developed a bone tumor in her front leg and when she was walking with my children her leg fractured. We did have some options such as amputation and chemo. But as a family we decided that at her age and her personality we did not want to put her through this. So we made the hard decision to let her go. I know where she is at right now she is loved and she is happy and in good care. I know one day I will see her again and she will be wanting me to scratch her ears or take her for a walk.Until then old friend I will always remember the time we spent with you and how you protected us and loved us and the all goofy things you would do. I want you know that we tried our best to take care of you best we could and we loved you with all of our hearts. Until we meet again. We Love you Haley

Jeff

How sad -- but it sounds as though under the circumstances that it was the right thing. All the best.

Hi Jeff,

 We lost our 11 year old dog last month to cancer. We had to put him down only 5 days after starting chemo. He went downhill really fast. I wish we had not put him through chemo. You made the right choice. So sorry for your loss!

Please know that I am thinking about you.  I have an 11 year old lab.  They are our children.  Haley's photo is precious.

I am originally from Hinsdale.  My sister and family live on Saratoga, in Downers Grove.  In my former life I taught school at Maercker School in Westmont.

Thank you all for your kind words. I really appreciate them. I know the pain will ease with time but I will miss her forever

My heart goes out to you. She is precious to you. But I promise with time, it will be better.

I lost my darling Maxx of 10 years to bone cancer too. He fought for 2 months when the vet gave him 2 weeks. Yesterday, I dreamt of my sweet darling Maxx and how I missed him. I'm still recovering from his lost since he was my first born. But I know, it too shall get easier as the days go by.

Sorry for your loss.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.  Losing a pet is a very hard thing, and so are the choices.  I hate to see an animal suffer.
