Last night we had the sad task of putting our beloved dog Ginger to sleep. She was very ill. Ginger was our puppy dog for 14 years. We got her when she was just about 6 months old. We are all so very sad. There are no words to describe the anguish we are going through now. But, we do know that it was the right thing to do. Ginny (as we called her) was suffering so. It had gotten to the point that she could no longer climb the stairs and she was covered with tumors. But what had been the deciding factor to put her down was that she could no longer hold her urine and that she had started to have a problem with holding her bowel movements as well. Ginny, as the Vet told us, probably had cancer.
She was loved so. And, will be missed terribly. But she had a good life. Rest in peace my dear Ginny.

Sweetie, I do know exactly what you are going through. I have been in your shoes and it is not pleasant. You are in my thoughts as you go through the grieving process. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}
(((((((((((((Lu and family)))))))))))))) We have been through this too many times ourselves, dear. I know it is hard and it hurts to have to make the decision to say goodbye to a faithful friend.
Praying that knowing you did the right thing for Ginger will be comforting to you.
loving you

LuAnne,
I'm so sorry to read about the loss of your dog. They are much more than dogs... they are family.

I am SOOOO very sorry for your loss. Ginny looked like such a sweet dog...and being a dog person myself, I feel your pain. I had a 12+ cocker spaniel whom I was going to have to put to sleep...and "Henry" ended up passing away in my car on the way to the doc. I thought I'd NEVER get over it. Ironically, NINE months later (get it?? 9 month?)...we were basically GIVEN our then 4 month old beeeautiful yellow lab. We named him Cody and he's an amazing puppy...turning 3 at the end of May. Henry will FOREVER be in our hearts. Afterall, my son was 5 when I adopted Henry so basically they grew up together. My heart is with you...And please know that YOUR heart will not ache like this forever...(((((((HUGS)))))))), Judy
hugs for your loss.......................a pet is the closest thing to uncondictional love we really get.....
xxoo
