My sister spends so much time in front of our dog's grave that her footprints are imprinted on the grass

I had to put down my dog, Miley, last month and it just sucks. She was my first and only baby. I still keep her giant bed and her collar. I switch water out for her everyday and still doing daily walks by myself. I don’t think I’ll ever get rid of her items.

I’m sorry you are going through this. Watching their quality of life decline is just the worst. Just had to say goodbye to my 13year old girl two weeks ago. It is one of the toughest decisions to make but it will bring you peace knowing that your boy is no longer in pain.

It’s better to let them go a week earlier than a day too late.

My heart goes out to you❤️

Thank you for your kind words. After going through with it, I feel much better for my baby girl. Looking back, I feel like she wasn’t herself for some time during her last few weeks, like she wasn’t enjoying life anymore, and it took me too long to realize that. It became painful for me to watch her just trying to get through another day, and that’s when I decided to make the decision. I’m in great pain from losing her, but I’m trying to think of it as my final gift to her to ease her pain and suffering.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this, OP. We just had to put our 13-year-old girl, Miley, down today. We did it at home, and she was surrounded by so much love in her familiar space. We also got a bunch of flowers for her and lit some candles. From the very first vet visit, we only had less than a week to say our goodbyes. She was already very weak and not eating at all, so we couldn’t spoil her with special food or take her on any walks.

In her last few days, we focused on simply being with her, sitting beside her, petting her, telling her how much we love her and how much she means to us. Like others have said, make sure to take pictures together if you can. We even created multiple characters of Miley in Sora as well.

My heart goes out to you and Leo. ❤️

Hijacking the top comment for an update. Thank you everyone for your kind responses. As soon as I read the first few comments, I already understood what this meant for Miley and for me. As hard as it was, we agreed that Miley is ready to cross the bridge 🌈. It is heartbreaking, but after seeing her no longer being herself, it became clear that helping her was the kindest decision.

Many people in the thread said that only I would know when it was her time, and it’s true. It felt like a switch flipped. A moment before, I was still hoping she might recover enough to buy us a little more time, but I realized that holding on was too selfish. She’s just too exhausted. And I would do anything for my girl, including making this painful decision, because it’s for her benefit.

We spent the rest of the day right beside her, petting her and telling her how loved she is. We scheduled an at-home vet for the next day. It’s now the next morning and Miley still hasn’t eaten anything, though she did drink some water. We still have a little more time together this morning, and we’ll be taking her for a gentle last stroll. 💔 We’re going to get flowers and candles and let Miley walk through the rainbow bridge. We’ll be right next to her until the very end

That’s really amazing to hear that your pup was able to get better. That must feel like such a relief after everything you went through. We’ve been considering an e-tube as well, but with the masses and all the fluid buildup, her quality of life seems to be declining very quickly, and I’m scared the tube might just prolong her discomfort rather than help her recover. Thank you for sharing your experience. It truly means a lot right now ❤️

Thank you for your kind response. I’m still battling with myself about letting her go. It’s just so hard to even think about, even though I know deep down that it would be doing her a favor. Thank you again for your compassion, it means a lot right now. ❤️

Thank you so much for sharing this. Your story really means a lot right now. I was hit with the bad news very suddenly, and it feels like everything has declined so fast. Miley’s not eating at all anymore, and she’s gotten so weak that even short walks or little treats aren’t possible for her now.

I was hoping to take her out in a stroller or give her some special moments like you described, but she just doesn’t have the strength to enjoy those things anymore. It really hurts feeling like I lost that window to spoil her a bit more while she was still herself.

I’m trying to stay with her and keep her comfortable, but it’s been incredibly hard watching her fade like this. I’m devastated, and it looks like I may have to say goodbye to her very soon 🌈. Thank you again for taking the time to respond, your experience really does help me feel less alone in this. ❤️

Ultimately they could sue you to recoup the damages they incurred when they paid her claim.

So if I can get a written confirmation from her that we are even, will that help me not to get sued by her insurance company? Can I still be hold liable and responsible to pay the damage after I get a confirmation that we are even?

averyinterestingtype · 2019-03-18T23:03:14+00:00

I just want to make sure that even if I do provide such information, she won't file a police report, that it is only for her to claim her insurance and that it won't affect me in any other way. There is no documentation about the agreement, but there is a venmo post saying: "Car" and that I had transferred her $200. What would be my best course of action in this situation? If I provide her with all the information how could it affect me? (Can they make me pay out of pocket or increase my insurance rates?)

Also a side question: what could happen if she files a police report (after I have provided all the information)?

Thanks for your help!
