Putting Queenie to sleep.....

yea, that bites hard!! been there - - I know it doesn't help much, but try to steel your heart that you are doing the right thing.. and be happy you had your time.. mine came out of nowhere - that was a tough thing

No matter what this sucks but out of nowhere...can't imagine what that was like. I have been wanting to put Moms to sleep for a few months now....back when she just started losing weight and losing her sight. I suggested it but Ernestina simply said no,. Queenie stole Ernie heart several years ago. Every night she would jump up in Ernies chair. Every morning she would jump up on the bed when I got up and,sleep with Ernestina for a while. Several years ago vet did blood work and told us that Mommas pancreas was failing. Kristen, the vet, suggested a supplement. Every morning Queenie took it, up to about 5 months ago. No matter how we camouflaged it she spit it out. Was about a month afterwards she started losing weight...and sleeping damn near all day. That is,when I suggested it. I am glad that Ernestina said no. Best couple of weeks Queenie has been a great teacher for me. She may not be able to see us...she struggles to get around...but no matter what she is by our side. We go to bed, she is there. We get up, she is near oneof us. Ernie is cooking, Queen is laying at Ernestinas feet. Follows us,to the table. Sunday Ernie was outside with me putting up a piece of fence...here comes Queenie. Love, loyalty and devotion....I thought I was ready to let Queenie go back when I suggested it...I said my goodbyes... yet I am sitting here crying typing this....
