Sometimes loving means letting go
I can't stop crying today, but you all have been so sweet and supportive with your thoughts and prayers for Brodie that I wanted to give you an update.
We're planning on taking him to the vet tonight when DH gets home from work and saying goodbye.It's without a doubt one of the most difficult decisions we've ever had to make, but in the last few days he's gone down hill to the point that it's pretty obvious that he's suffering. As of yesterday, he's too weak to stand up from lying down on his own and while I still got a big kiss when I just came home from work, I can't live in denial anymore. I swore that I'd only hold on if it looked like he was still able to enjoy life... I think those moments are behind us now.
Anyway, I know we're a board filled with a lot of fur baby love so I just wanted to thank you all for being so sweet and for thinking of me, DH & our sweet boy. And now, because I am one proud fur baby mom, excuse me while a AW my love.
ETA: Crap. Sorry...I resized them and they're still huge.
Re: Sometimes loving means letting go
I saw your FB status & I wondered...
I am so sorry to hear this, Christie. You've been an amazing doggie mama to Brodie & I know he loves you. I'll be thinking about you guys.
Let me know if there's anything I can do.
Oh Christie, I'm so sorry.
We had to put our family dog down last year and it's hard. Brodie is super lucky to have had you and Chris as puppy parents. I know he's lived the best life possible.
*Hugs*
I am so incredibly sorry. I can't even imagine what you're going through, but like the other girls have said we're all here for you 100%.
He knows how much you love him, and he'll be in a much better place. Lots of prayers for you guys.
I am so so sorry! I know how hard it is to make that decision. DH and I had to put down our Aussie 2 years ago this week and it was so hard to make that final decision but we knew it was time. You and DH will always remember the great times you guys had with Brodie. Lots of hugs to you guys!
My Ovulation Chart
I am so, so sorry! When my cat of 17 years was at that point, I asked my mom to take her to the vet while I was at work, I couldn't even go. It is the most selfless thing you can do though, easing their pain. I know it might not feel like that right now, but know that you are being compassionate and acting out of love.
How is it that my BABY is going to be 3?

I am so so sorry to hear. I know we'll all be thinking about you today and this weekend during this hard time.
Poor thing....both you and Brodie. You are making the right choice, but it does not make it ANY easier. T & P's for you all.
