Spot didn't make it.

Sometime around midnight little Spot breathed her last.

It was surprising as she was fine in the afternoon and was still doing well.

It is very difficult for children to lose a long time pet. We only can say that we tried as hard as we could to save her.

We just held a little burial ceremony in the back yard near the lilacs. DS insisted on digging the grave himself and we cried the whole time.

We will miss her very much.

Lawren, I am so sorry. You're right, it is so, so hard to say good-bye to a pet, especially one who has been with you for many years. I know your family will look back on Spot with many happy memories.

(((hugs)))

Oh Lawren I am so sorry to hear this. I know how hard you worked to get spot well again, and I thought that she was on her way to recovery.

I feel terrible for you, and your son. Yes, it is extremely difficult to say goodbye to a beloved pet.

Lawren,

I am so sorry, especially for your son. "They" say that these lessons are good for children and help them cope with grief as they grow older, but it is so hard.
And I know how you love your pets, too.

So sorry, but glad you were with Spot at the end; can't ask for much more than that.

I know how hard that is. I lost Booker at the beginning of May. Lost my mom about three weeks ago, and the loss of Booker was no less difficult.

People don't often understand how significant and distressing it is to lose a long-time family member who happens to be a pet, and they discount the emotions involved. They are morons.

I'm sorry for your loss, and wish you the best in getting through it.

So sorry for your loss... No matter how many pets one has over the years they are always part of the family and so sadly missed when they are gone.

Lawren,
So sorry to hear this...those of us that love our pets consider them family members (I treat mine just like my kids) and it is so tough to lose them.
