She had an overactive metabolism had gotten down to 3lbs It was much harder than I thought it would be, but I am relieved that it's over and I don't have to wonder if I should do it anymore. Thanks for all of your well wishes when I was trying to figure this out.

RAINBOW BRIDGE (Anon)

"Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hill for all our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill or old are restored to health and vigour; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; his eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when your and your special friend finally meet, you cling to each other in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together........"

Maddie&EthansMom replied:

I'm sorry, Amy. I hope you can be at peace with your decision. She's better off now. 3 pounds? I bet she was miserable. You did what was best.

coasterqueen replied: Amy. I am so sorry you had to do this, but it does sound like it was for the better.

jcc64 replied: I know EXACTLY how you feel, Amy. It's so very difficult to say good-bye to an animal friend. I still go outside to the rock under which we buried my cat Ruben- and he died over 3 yrs ago.
The great thing about animals is that there is always another to love, when you're ready.
Big hugs.

Crystalina replied: How old was your kitty?
I got BabyKitty when I was in junior high and he died 3 years ago (I'm 32 yrs old!). I had him for along time and Christmas morning he went outside and passed away peacefully in our barn. I think he didn't want us to watch him die. I had him cremated because I couldn't bear to put him in the ground.

We also had to put our Rott to sleep a few months ago because she was getting so old she couldn't even walk anymore. After the third day of her not being able to move we had to drive her to the vet and put her to sleep. It was to the point that she was using the bathroom right where she was and I'd have to move her from side to side. I knew she wouldn't get better but my husband was holding out hope because that was his first dog. She was 15 1/2 years old. That was the first time I've seen my husband cry.

CAMSMOM1 replied: Even though it is a very hard thing to do, I believe you did the right thing. She was in a lot of pain, and now she can rest in peace. It's hard losing animals, I've lost so many in my life already. But each one was a blessing to me, and your cat was able to live a long life with you. (13 yrs, that's really great for a cat) I'm sorry you had to make such a tough decision.

kayla's mama replied: Sorry you had to go through that...it is so hard because our animals become such a part of our family. We had to put our "baby" down in Sept. it was the hardest thing ever.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: It is never easy to lose a friend, one with fur or one without. I am sorry for your loss, I hope that you can find some peace in the fact that you did what was best for her and that she didn't suffer.

ediep replied: so sorry Amy

kimberley replied: i'm sorry hon. it's never easy to lose our furry friends.

mom21kid2dogs replied: Isn't it weird how it's so tragic and a relief at the same time? I know I felt that way when we put Bailey down in Nov.
So glad your kitty friend isn't suffering anymore, though.
