Especially, since I have followed your posting of Savannah and felt the pain and joy of each word.<br /><br />Sometimes, as I think others may have thought, you have an advantage because you have all the resources and knowledge to guide you in your decisions. But in reality, all of those which deeply care for our beloved pets, who are also our family, know the pain is the same.<br /><br />The thing that bothers me the most about when the time has come for us to make that decision, is I feel a great need to have my pet in my lap and at all possible have their final moments in their home or natural surroundings. I have had this done a few times and I could feel the calm and I believe, the thankfulness, from my lovely friend. It is as if they knew they were not alone and with the person who they trust the most. This service is hard to find. My equine vets have helped me the most of the time over the years.<br /><br />The highest compliment I can give anyone- people, cats, dogs, etc. (and this may sound silly to a lot of people who don’t know me) is I say “you are a good pooch.” <br /> <br />Savannah, YOU are a good Pooch.

She never cried nor wailed but she would walk the perimeter of the entire house for at least an hour each time. She was with me for about another year as she would have very good days and I just couldn't bear to put her down. The time did come, though. She is no longer with me physically but always in my heart.
