This is so heartbreaking for you. Losing a pet is right up there on the list of the most distressing situations us humans find ourselves in.

I am so glad to hear you will be with her. She will need her mummy to soothe her & comfort her. Be brave. And then make sure you look after yourself & be gentle.

Huge hugs to you. You are doing the right thing.

Mreader, I am so very sorry you have to go through this. This final act of love and care is just wrenching. And I think your timing is good, when you don't know where they're sleeping, it's time.
Ruby is so beautiful and so sweet, I hope she stays in your avatar. She's very special. I hope you will find peace.

I am heartbroken for you MReader. A very difficult experience and I am sure you are spending as much time possible with Ruby right now. I held my MiMi in my arms until everything was over. She had kidney failure too and I did my best to extend it with special food and all. Till this day, I am unable to look at old photographs of her.

Take your time to grieve. Sending much kitty dust to both.

Oh @Mreader I'm so so sorry to hear this. It's so hard to say goodbye, even when you know it's best. I hope that you take comfort in all of your wonderful memories with her and that someday you'll be able to look at pictures of her and feel the love you had for her rather than the sadness at her passing.

So so sorry to hear @Mreader . One of the hardest things we have to do in this life. Went through this with my 17 year old dog several years ago. Heartbreaking.

I'm so sorry @Mreader . My heart goes out to you. Its such a difficult and heartwrenching thing to do even though you know its
time. Be gentle with yourself and give yourself time to grieve/heal.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I know exactly and can't speak about it, still.

Sending you wishes for love and comfort. Your decision to accept pain of your own in order to prevent her suffering is the bravest, kindest thing. We're all with you in this. It is the largest, most courageous act of love that humankind has to offer.

Oh @Mreader I'm so sorry. I just saw this. I went through this with one of my dogs. It's never easy. I hope Ruby is now pain free and resting peacefully <3
