Gretta's gone

Nancy my thoughts are with you at such a sad time.
I found comfort in this poem, hope you will too.

If It Should Be
- -Author Unknown

If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep.
Then you must do what must be done
For this last battle can't be won.

You will be sad, I understand
Don't let your grief stay your hand.
For this day, more than all the rest
Your love and friendship stands the test.

We've had so many happy years
What is to come can hold no fears.
Would you want me to suffer so?
When that time comes please let me go.

Take me where my needs they'll tend,
But stay beside me to the end.
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time that you will see
The kindness that you do for me.
Although my tail it's last has waved
From pain and suffering I've been saved.

Do not grieve, it must be you
Who decides this thing to do.
We've been so close, we two, these years
Remember joy among your tears.

Okay that post just made me cry... having to make that decision is so hard, I know what you are going through right now and take all the time you need to do your grieving... You did the right think for your dog and she is in a better place now... sorry for your loss!

Im so sorry Jess just had to be put down so i know how you feel, hugs

Oh god, I have cried the entire way thru this post. I am so sorry, for Gretta and for you. but you have done the right thing for her. She is feeling much better now, but you are the one left with the pain in your heart. Big hugs from me, and I will be thinking of you.
