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

Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss. There are no words that can take away your agony. I only hope you can take some comfort in knowing that when she needed you, you were your best friend's best friend.

Run free, Gypsy Blue Rose, run wild and free.

I'm very sorry for your loss, I have read some consider it better if the house mate goes along
also I would not think it would be good to have the house mate in the same room while the vet is giving the medication.I would think bring the house mate in after to see the body they seem to think if the hose mate knows they have past on they do not grieve as much.Of course it is hard to know if this is a good idea or a bad idea it is new.
I also lost one that was in great pain I could not hardly wait until the vet opened up he also walked in under his own power. It is so hard to loose a Fur Kid Hugs to you all may Gypsy Blue Rose rest in peace.

It was a hard day, My poor husband not being able to be there because of work, Me having to do it alone, and poor Spirit, not understanding why she is not in the house to be with him. He has looked for Gypsy several times as he went out to the potty. We would always asked him to go get her when he wanted to go outside and he would run into the other room, give her alook and run back as to tell me "well, I told her now it up to her to come, now let me outside" So sweet together they were, boyfriend and girlfriend. I know it is hard on him also. Today we are going to "bark at the K" which is where you can take you dog to the KC Royals ballgame with you. So I know he will have fun.

So sorry to hear this sad news about Gypsy. Hugs from us here.

I am glad to hear you can spend the day with your boy at the ballpark...a great distraction for everybody. It's going to be a beautiful day here in Virginia, one of those days where you just want to stay outside.

I am so sorry for you loss. Your post is the first one I read this morning and now I've started my day with tears. You were there for her all the way to the end and she knew it. May you have many happy memories and I hope Spirit does all right.
