Brutally hard! But, you did the right thing, and I'm sure she thanks you for it! Remember the happy times, the wonderful life you gave her, and the wonderful times she gave you. God Bless you in your time of mourning!
If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this -- the last battle -- can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes,
please, let me go.
Take me where, to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close -- we two -- these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

Those who have had pets and still do,,,,,we understand your pain and loss at this time. There is nothing like a pet that you adore and how they give you unconditional love and affection,,,certainly one of the best gifts this side of life. As much as you are hurting right now imagine not having the gift of that affection that was given freely to you and your family. Warmest thoughts to you at this time.
