Sad day coming for my family and I

[Uluwatu]

Well the time has come to put down our 4 year old pitbull Kaz. He has been battleling lymphoma for over a year now, and isn't doing so well now. He was on chemo until July of 2007 and then he came out of remission. We got lucky, because the doctor at the special animal cancer hospital, thought he would have been gone by September. Now his muscle mass is gone, and his quality of life is pretty bad. He doesn't wanna play or go on walks anymore, and is pretty much detaching from my wife and I. His biggest enjoyment is sleeping and sometimes eating. I am not the most religious guy in the world, but we will be praying tonight that he passes away in his sleep. If he doesn't pass tonight, we have a vet coming to the house at 9am tomorrow to put him on his journey to the rainbow bridge. This is probably the most difficult thing to do in my life so far. So guys and girls, we ask that you pray Kaz passes in his sleep tonight, so I don't have to put our baby boy down tomorrow morning.

My thoughts are with you...

I'm so sorry to hear about this, if for some reason the good lord keeps him here one more day and you decide to put him down, Uluwatu please promise that you will be by his side to comfort him while he goes up to dog heaven, I know it will be one hellava task for you.

my boy turns 9 this April...

he is overall healthy, but his hips are tightening up.

I will pray for your little guy and let him sleep and just fall into that deep sleep and allow his body to shutdown. Pain free.

the hardest thing I saw was our family dog dead.

My father called me at work at 5am to tell me that the dog we have had for 15 years was not doing so well. I said I am off at 7am and will go home for a couple hours and sleep then be over...while sleeping, I had a dream that we were all standing over her watching her...she then popped her head up and looked at us and laid back down and stopped breathing. I a woke and went to my parent's home and asked my father where she was...he said she passed away just about an hour ago. SO while I Was sleeping and having that dream, she passed. I guess it is her way of saying goodbye.

ULUWATU, if by the graces of God he goes to sleep forever and spares you the task of helping him on his way, I pray this happens. If you must help him on his way then be with him and hold him tight as he passes over that bridge. It is a noble thing for his master to help him on his journey! He has been your friend and loyal companion for many good years. He has given you love and affection for all time. repay the favor with this last act of love and kindness. I have had two of my dogs lay in my arms as they passed into the other side. It was peaceful, beautiful and quiet. He will love you forever!!

I am sorry for your loss!

Bro Im sorry to hear this Im a pit owner myslef, and I dont know what I would do without my girl. Will be praying that your dog goes peacefully

 

[Pekkerwood]

That is crushing. It is one of the most difficult things I have ever done. This may not help but the depth of your pain and feeling is a mark of the love and devotion you have shown to your pet in life as well. I think it is a sign that in your heart you know you gave unconditional love and I am of an opinion that your pet can sense that more than any human ever will.

My heart is truly with you and your family. Be at Peace.

Isn't it amazing how much our animals bring to our lives. For such big tough guys we become so attached to our dogs. Yet we have these scumbags who feel they can hurt and abuse animals to show how cool they are...I would love to run into one of them someday!
I lost my 8 year old dog last year with very little warning and it was very hard for my wife and I.
My prayers are with you.

Good morning everyone...Well Kaz's angels didn't come to take him on his journey last night, so in about an hour I have the vet coming to the house to help him on his new journey. This is the worst feeling in the whole world. My eyes are constantly filled with tears of sadness, but also happiness, because I know in my heart that this is the right thing to do. Once he is free from his body he will be healthy again and playing at the rainbow bridge. He truely was a part of our family and will be missed greatly. My wife and I can not thank you enough for the kind words you all wrote.

Here is a poem my wife just wrote about our baby and beloved companion Kaz:

We lost a special friend today
the kind you can't replace,
and looking at his empty bed
We still can see his face.

We see the endless energy
the sparkling puppy eyes,
Not the tired, fragile friend
We had to bid goodbye.

We know he’s in the special place
our Lord has for such friends,
Where meadows, fields & flowers
will make him strong again.

We remember how he'd run to us
to play his favorite game,
And how his ears would perk right up
when he heard us call his name.

He did his guard dog duty well
Each time the doorbell rang,
Strangers surely couldn't see
Our gentle friend behind those fangs.

We’ve noticed in the recent times
His body was not as sharp,
Where is that running ball of fur
This year has shown it’s mark.

He stopped sleeping next to us
Was this his special clue,
Because he felt the end was near
We only wish we knew.

Our Kazzie was a special dog
We know he gave his best,
But as we looked deep into his eyes
We knew it was time for him to rest.

It will truly be a struggle
We don't know how we’ll face each day,
We know we have to let him go
But in our hearts he'll always stay.

We know he's watching over us
He'll be with us when we cry,
So with one more kiss on his beloved head
We told Kazzie Boy goodbye.

Your and your wife...

are doing the right thing. From reading your words it is obvious you have given your dog a very good life. I know this is a very painful situation (been there). Please keep in mind that there will be NO more suffering. Bless you all!

Beautiful. Simple elequence. I'm saving this one for another day that I know will come. Be at Peace.
