Awful
That’s just how I feel right now. Awful.
In about an hour, we have to have Lucy put to sleep.
She’s not well. She stopped eating earlier this week. I took her to the vet, who did blood work and determined that she is starting liver failure and/or has a tumor somewhere near or on her liver. She also is anemic. She is eleven years old and he doesn’t feel we have much chance of improving her quality of life. So this is what he recommends and what we need to do.
I don’t know what to do. I feel almost all cried out over it. I’ve never had to do this. I’ve never lost a pet at all, and certainly never had to make the call to end one’s life. I know it’s the right thing to do and I know she knows I love her.
I just don’t know how I’m going to make it through the next hour.

Oh D. I’m so SO sorry about this….I am sending you strength and peaceful thoughts.
thinking of you….
I’m so sorry Donna. I can’t even imagine…
Very sorry about this. I’m sending comforting thoughts.
I’m so sorry. And you get through by knowing you have to, by knowing you are doing her a great kindness by allowing her to stop suffering.
Oh, no. You’ve had such a rough year re: pets. I agree with Beth. You are doing Lucy a great kindness to end her suffering. That’s what love is all about, even if it hurts. I’m so sorry.
Oh goodness Donna. I’m so, so sorry for your loss. Bigs hugs to you.
(Tell Bridgie that, despite her busy body ways, she needs to snuggle with you all weekend.)
