We finally had to let Echo go
|
|
| Im sorry to hear about Echo...it makes me very sad to think that such a baby went to the bridge so early....your family is in my thoughts and prayers. |
| Here is a link to my baby's picture. After reading the other posts from OES owners who lost their dogs, I noticed that most of them were in their teens; some people had to make the decision to put their babies to sleep and some did not. I really hadn't broken down about Echo's passing until now, after reading how many of you said you will never get over it and whether or not it was the right decision. I never thought I would have to make the decision this early in my baby's little life and now I'm wishing I could call the vet and say that I've changed my mind, but it's too late.

| Kimmy, I am so sorry to hear about Echo. What a shame that he had to go so young. He was a lucky pup to have you, and his other furry siblings.
Hugs to you and the rest of the group. Laurie and Oscar |
| I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of Echo. Very sad news. |
| I am so saddened by the loss of your Echo and I completely understand the impulse to second-guess your decision. I hope you will remember why you made the decision you did. You would not have made that decision if you did not believe that it was the right thing to do for him and that there were not any other options. He was a beautiful boy and I am sure he will be dearly missed, but that does not make your decision wrong.
Best wishes, Val |
I am so sorry that you have lost you little Echo. I hope that in your reading you did notice that our community stands with you at this really hard time. We understand. 
Time will help ease your pain. |
| I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your sweet sheepie boy. Echo. I am sure you have made the right decision. You have to do what is right for your little sheepie man, and not for you, we don't want them to ever leave us, but sometimes their time on earth with us is very short. Please have strength during this difficult time.
Tears. |
| I'm sorry for your loss. Please don't second-guess yourself--it's just the hurt from losing your baby that makes you feel this way. You wouldn't have done it if you didn't think it was the right thing to do. Give Jammy a hug from me. And give yourself a hug from me. |
| Aw, I'm so sorry. Poor little guy. He's in a better place now though. No more suffering or pain for him. |
| Please don't second guess yourself, Echo was obviously well loved and very lucky to have a great family in his short life. |
| I found it very difficult when faced with this decision, especially the first time. I always felt that the time of death was in God's hands, His alone. I still believe that, but I also know He left His animals in our care.
What greater gift can you give to them, than to end their suffering? It takes a lot of love to let them go, and you loved your baby dearly. I understand you're second guessing. My Shadow was almost 15, in very ill health, and it was time. One day she'd look so miserable, and I'd think this is it, but the next day she'd be all puppy again, and leave me thinking, "Thank God I didn't take her yesterday!" She finally had a few really bad days in a row, so I decided on a certain day that week we were going, regardless! The bad days were a lot worse than her good days. It was hard on all of us, but especially her. Yes, we miss them, we even feel guilty at times, but don't' second guess yourself over something that you knew was right in your heart when you did it. God bless. Pam (mouthypf) |
Hugs to your family, and sorry for you loss

| The only relief I have now, besides the fact that Echo is no longer in pain, is that I didn't drive him to the vet's thinking he was never coming home; if I would've had to knowingly drive him away forever, I would never have found the right day for it. |
| So Sorry
|
| I'm so sorry.
We have to sometimes make choices that are painful for us yet frees our furry companions of their suffering. Hugs to you during this sad time. |

Im sure you made the right decision, a very hard one!

love sally x |
| I am so sorry to hear of Echo's pasing. But the decision you made was made out of complete love and devotion to your baby and will probably be the hardest decidion you ever make. Rest assured that you would not have made this decision in haste or for the wrong reason.
I myself did exactly the same as you after making the decision for my boy Shep - the guilt is horrific and you think you will never be free of it. Time certainly lessens the pain, but it's only natural to feel this way over the loss of a loved one. Take care, Shep's mama |
| my mom went through the same thing 1 of her dogs was having problems, vet thought he would do blood work and get her on iv can not remember what he thought it was. But my mom took her up to vets and he is from out of town so he took her back to the clinic.
the dog was only 7 years old and never been away from my mom. The problem was cancer in the end and very fast. My mom had her put down the hardest thing for her was not saying good bye, and broke my mom for awhile, we all thought she be home in a few days. That was 3 years ago and she know has 2 more dogs and doing great. ALL of them |
That is young to take little Echo, hope Buddy will be ok, as we all hope you will be  |
