Today is one of the hardest days of my life as I let my beautiful girl Gypsy go to the Rainbow Bridge.
I was up all night with her, she crying in pain each time she would move even just a little. She was in so much pain even with HEAVY Pain killers every 6 hours. I just could not let her be like that. As my husband got up this morning and tried to get her up to go potty, I heard her cry out in pain. Oh how my heart broke! I told him that she had had enough and she was ready to go. It hurt him so much as she was Daddy's Girl. How proud I was of her, as she walk into the doctors office not wanting us to carry her. What a proud Doberman. As we lay on the floor and told a few stories about her to the doctor, she looked up at me as to say "Thank you Mommy" She look at the doctor and where the needle was going in her arm, layed her beautiful head on my arm and slowly went to a peaceful sleep. I know it was the right thing to do. How do I explain it to her boyfriend and housemate, Spirit, that she is not coming home. He loved her and she loved him. As I walked in the door, and let him outside, he went back like he always does to look for her to take her out with him to the potty. I know he will not understand but I know he will grieve for her also. We love you Gypsy Blue Rose.. Jan 28,02- Sept 17,11
