It is the hardest thing we have to do for the animals we love. But it is also the greatest service we can give them.
Take a big breath. Realize that now he is no longer in pain, and remember the good times you had together.
This seems like the most beautiful way to pass… sorry for your loss of Lucy! I bet if we could ask our pets what they wanted THIS would be their answer. Thank you for sharing this story.We had to do the same type euthanasia with our precious Lucy (dog). She was a rescue that was PETRIFIED of any place where there were multiples of animals for fear she would be abandoned yet again. Hubby and son took her out to the woods and loved on her and cried… then did what was most humane FOR HER.
No judgment here. The most loving decisions aren’t the easiest. Lotsa love
So well said.. thank youSo sorry that the G-Pig forum gave you a hard time. A lot of people don't understand why having an animal put down is best in some circumstances. You did the right thing by ending is misery, and he got to spend his last moments surrounded by the people who cared for him and in the comfort of his own home. Sending hugs.
It takes the greatest courage in the world to give our animals their last, best gift - a safe, peaceful, quick and painless end to their final suffering. It is the most selfless thing we can do, because it turns our own hearts inside out. It is so contrary to what we want to do, but we know we must do it, out of love, to spare our little friends another moment of suffering. And if somebody doesn't understand that, well ... that's their problem. It just means they have not yet known that level of love. They are to be pitied. And then ignored.
At a loss for words.. thank you so much.
Awww I’m sorry for your piggies too! It’s very difficult with these little pets. Many don’t understand the love that goes into them! I too may have waited a bit too long but he seemed fairly calm for the first few days… his final 20 minutes just seems so unbearably painful for him. I’m grateful my husband was able to help him. It was just such a hard decision.
Piggies are such great little animals. I wish they lived longer.Awww I’m sorry for your piggies too! It’s very difficult with these little pets. Many don’t understand the love that goes into them!
