Saying good bye to a family member

[bipshoft]

All,
Been awhile since I posted here, Hoping to get some prayers for my family member we have scheduled to put to sleep on Friday. She has a been huge part of our family for the last 11 years and now at 15 years old she is not able to function anymore, Still trying to deal with having to make this decision and moving forward.
She is a 15 year old Siberian Husky that has ran into major hip issues. I know I will miss her dearly and my wife will be losing her best friend

Hate these threads.

I'm sorry bra.

Done.

In my thoughts.

Largish breed dog that lived to 15 years of age, she was truly blessed to have you, now prayers for helping her over the bridge! Our weimeraner lived to be 11 having had cancer twice.

Thanks for your replies. I have made arrangements to have her go to sleep in the comfort of her own home. Seems the finality of it is just now sinking in. Really gonna miss the old girl

That's very considerate of you to have it done in her own quarters, surrounded by the sounds and smells that mean so much to her, rather than in the chaotic, unhappy environment of a vet's clinic. I try to do that with all of my critters, when and if I can afford it. Good man.

My sympathy to you and your wife.

[Topusaret]

My thoughts and prayers will be with you.

So sorry for your coming loss. Prayers said.

Have you tried a chiropractor? There are vets that do this with amazing results.

I appreciate your thoughts but our girl is 15 years old and has outlived her life expectancy by a few years
Probably best for us to ensure she does not suffer anymore
Gonna be a tough few days, but I think we are doing the best thing

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Man oh man!

They are so loyal, smart, and loving.

I hate it.

Prayers

When it's time to make decisions it is hard. You are doing the right thing. No need for your fur baby to hurt or be miserable. I've been there a couple times, yes it hurts because they have been faithful, loyal and giving so much love.

My thoughts are with you.

Boy do we know this feeling in our home. We have an old hound dog that we are almost to this point as well. She is my dh's best friend. She even has her own recliner right next to his. He has said we will never even have another dog as it will be so hard.
So I can assure you that you are getting prayers from our home to yours.

Sorry for this loss.

I second NBCsurvivor's comment. I hate seeing these threads (although it helps to share - the support received from TB2k when I went through it a couple years ago was a great comfort) and, even if I don't add a comment, I feel the pain of each & every poster who has to make the decision to put down an old & beloved pet ... I think all of us with furry family members do, too.

Tears, prayers & hugs for your family as you say goodbye.

So sorry to hear this, prayers for you and your family. It is hard...

I can't ease your pain, all I can say is that you're doing the right thing... I've not had a single one of my fur family go on their own.. my wife and I had to make the decision to do it... your baby will have a certain look in her eye when she's ready... if you've seen it and you'll know.... then it's time... our final act of love is to release them from their pain, our pain and loss is secondary to theirs....
15 years is a good long life for a larger breed like a husky, I am sure she's had 15 great years. I am truly sorry for your loss my friend.
