The Roller Coasters Of Life

You and your family and, of course, Lily, are in my prayers.

Thinking of you Ali. Went through something very similar last year when we lost our dear girl. All the best as you try to find comfort for your dear girl, Lily.

My golden retriever, Tucker, and I are hoping and praying for Lily to get better soon. Dogs are the best. They just love and love and love some more, and all they ask in return is some kibble and a pat here and there.

Get better Lily!

Lily and your family are in my family's thoughts and prayers. They are a part of us...

Sending hugs!

Ali, so sorry to hear about Lily. I'm praying for you all.

I'll be thinking of Lily. When I lost both my girls, Scarlett & lady, over six years ago, it was hard. I hope Lily pulls through so you don't have to face that yet.

On Thursday we brought our young cat into the vet's and were told he would have to have a minor surgery at that moment, or he would die within hours. We spent four days going back and forth to the vets and nursing him at home. Today, he's back to his old self and the vet gave him an all clear. I can empathize with you and your family. Sending loving energy to Lilly and you all!

My Josey (who looks SO much like your Lilly) is 12 1/2 and I know we will be facing similar heart-wrenching choices soon. Our prayers are with you and your family.

I recently lost my cocker spaniel, Sam, to cancer. Putting him down was the hardest thing to do but the right thing to do. I know what you are facing. Many prayers for your family and for Lily. Could not stand not hearing the patter of paws in the house so we went and got a little Maltese and named her Zoe. She's more of a lap dog but suits our family well. Good luck with your next high or low of the rollercoaster ride.

So sorry to hear this! Thinking of Lilly and of you and your family.

How I feel for you. I know Lilly is like one of your children and you hate this happening. We lost our beloved Dickens earlier this year when my husband and our Dickens (a basenji) were attacked and mauled by a neighbor's pit bull. It is horrifying to see them suffering. It hurts more when it hits you blindsidded like this. I think we all want our fur babies to just go peacefully. Watching them suffer is just the worst. Hugs to you and your family.

I am finding this so hard to type as my eyes well up with tears. We said goodbye to our sweet dog "Rastus" just a few months back and it was the hardest decision I have ever had to make. He had been with us for 16 years and I still miss him so much. My heart goes out to you and your family and to your sweet Lilly.
Love me :-)

So sorry to hear. Sending prayers for Lily and your family.

I know how hard this is. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. {{hugs}}

Prayers for Lily and your whole Family Ali,
Praying for a miraculous recovery...Huge Hugs to You From S.C.

Ali, My thoughts are with you and your family as you walk this path with Lily. Over the years I've had lots of four-footed family members and it's always difficult to see them ill. It's a diffult decision whether to treat and hope for recovery, or to let them go peacefully. But as Janet wrote so well, you will know when the time comes, what the decision needs to be. Meanwhile, hugs to you all.

So sorry for all you are going through. It's amazing how much our furry friends become a cherished member of the family and how hard and helpless it can feel to see them not happy and healthy.

Hugs and thoughts for you, your family and Lily. I hope that things work out positively for you. We recently dealt with the loss of my husband's 16-year old dog Mickie. It was heartbreaking to lose her and so difficult to go through the ups and downs (and the hard decision of putting her to sleep- we knew when it was time). I don't think any of us were ready to say goodbye. She was the sweetest dog and had a wonderfully full and happy life, but it doesn't make losing a loved one any easier. My thoughts and well wishes are with you!

I am sending positive healing thoughts to you and Lily. Pets bring so much joy to our lives- if only they could stay with us as long as we needed them to!

Big hugs to you and yours from another fur-baby mom. I know how hard it is. Trust your heart and it will guide you.
