I put my sweet girl Bailey down yesterday. She was 15 yr 10 mo old and I now wish I maybe had waited. She was struggling but would have a few bad days and I would schedule a euthanasia appointment that then I would cancel. It was up and down and an emotional roller coaster. On Sunday she refused to eat even treats. But then heading to the vet yesterday she was eating the treats. What if I did this too soon? I feel horribly guilty today and like I killed her even though I know I didn’t that is how it feels. I am so lost and broken hearted today. This was the first time I had to make the call to put a pet down. Other pets in past my parents decided or my great dane passed unexpectedly in his sleep a few years back. Ugh. This sucks. I want her back!

I lost my 19 yo Smokey on 6/25/26 he had kidney disease at the end of his life he was not eating and could hardly stand. Putting him to sleep was the hardest decision I’ve ever made. At first I felt like I was killing him. My best friend convinced me he was suffering. I’m still trying to cope with my pain and sadness. When it was time to pick up his ashes I got very upset seeing the bag with my babies ashes I could touch the bag for a while and I cried like a baby.

I’m trying to keep myself busy with work and I’m good there it’s when I come home to any empty apartment and I’m the morning he used to meow for his food. I still want to get up and give him food and water. It’s like losing a child and only pet lovers understand.

I know I did the right thing and he’s not suffering anymore but it hurts soooo bad. Hopefully in the future I will be able to open my heart again to another fur baby. But not right now I must morn the baby I have lost

I put my Darla girl down October 7, 2025. She had diabetes. She had a seizure and then she was fine for a little bit and could not walk very well. I was told she has some time but I decided to put her down anyway six months or so and now I feel guilty as hell and I cry every day I feeling that girl that I could’ve taken care of her and be with her for a little longer he wants me every day. I loved her so much.
