I never would have dreamed that I would be writing about this today. The morning started like every other morning but now it's nearly the end of the day and I will be going to sleep without my beautiful Sugar laying next to my bed.
We had to make the dreaded decision this afternoon to put our gorgeous 12 year old Sugar to sleep. She had been slowly deteriorating over this past year with arthritis. But today her system started to shut down and she couldn't control her bowels. She wasn't even aware that she was doing this. We took her in for a check up and to cut a painful story short , we decided that the greatest gift we could give her was peace. Anything other than that would have been selfish.
But at this very moment , I would like to be selfish for just five more minutes so that I could give my sweet girl another kiss and a cuddle and tell her again how much we love her and how lucky that we were to have her in our life these past 12 years.
Suggie..you were such a good girl. We are going to miss you so very much. Give Biff Boy a good run for his money and give Granmamma a big kiss from us, okay?
Oh Roz,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how important pets are to a family, it's like losing an arm or a leg. I send you hugs.
