Guest Anonymous Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 I'm sorry to hear that your loved one has passed away. It sounds like you fought very hard for (and with) her. I'm sure she's anxiously waiting, as we speak, to see you again some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke_3 Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 awwwwwww......thats so sad. Sassys in a better place now. I know thats a popular phrase but if you think about it, she is. She'll make dog friends now. And she'll run and play untill she sees you again. Because as my great great friend once told me, Dog and People heaven is one. And when you enter the dog you love will come and greet you, as you've just walked into the house after work. I belive it. And I think you did the right thing. Sassy was a cool dog, and it's never fun to let them go. But you will see her again. *huggs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpeigirl Posted November 20, 2003 Author Share Posted November 20, 2003 Thank you all so very much, it's hard to read the screen through the tears. I just want to say, thank you all for your suport through such rough times. Sassy's life was improved by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsefeathers! Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Sharpei, I'm SO sorry to hear that Sassy is gone. I really wanted so much to offer you support while you were struggling with her and I anxiously awaited updates on her, though I never said much. As you may know, I recently had to make the same decision with one of my increasingly volatile dogs. Sometimes when their minds are muddled, be it by head trauma, genetics, or whatever, the best thing to do is send them to the next life where their souls can be free and their minds can be clear. It's the humane thing to do and I often wish the same option were available for humans. I wish I had been able to offer more support, but I truly didn't know what to say without seeming callous because my thoughts for the last little while have been that you would need to let Sassy go. A little time has passed and I feel a little better each day about the decision to let my Penny go. I KNOW it was the right thing to do and what you did for Sassy was the right thing as well. She could not have been happy with her mind in such constant turmoil. You set her free and she will be there in the next life to thank you for it. I know it hurts and you will grieve. My thoughts continue to be with you. They always were; I just don't always express them so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mother died of colon cancer, and was wishing for three months prior to her death that we would "let her go"...the laws in this state dont allow it. she was in pain, incoherent, and just wanted peace.... at least, we have the option to give that to our pets if it becomes necessary...

JackieMaya Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 I'm so sorry to hear that you had to make such a tough decision with Sassy. It's the hardest decision a dog owner can make, but it's also the kindest decision we have to make. At least you know that Sassy is happy and healthy up in doggie heaven.

ellieangel Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 I think you have ultimately made the right decision,many would have given up on her a long time ago she was lucky to have you and Becky. You are right to be angry at her breeder I am with Rio's,he has many many issues and I have to be on full alert with him all the time all because of the first 9 weeks of his life. Sassy may have only been with you a short time but she was loved unconditionally I can't think of any more you could have done for her :( I'm so sorry it had to end this way :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanvean Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 (((HUGS))) I'm so sorry, sweetie. For what it's worth, I think you did the right thing. Neither you nor Sassy would have been happy if you had constantly been on edge, wondering if she might bite you again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
