Thank You,
Like everyone else I had been searching for something to help me as I stand watch over my true joy China as she moves on.
I have been told it would be best to call a vet and put her to sleep. Since I first held her in my hand at three days old I realized her life was not mine to take. Through the years she would not turn in until she made her rounds to make sure everyone was where they were supposed to be. So I stand watch until she moves on to where she needs to be.
Again, Thank You.

Thank you. I had to say goodbye to my best friend, Molly the German Shepherd today. It was the hardest decision I have ever had to make… but I know in my heart and soul it was the right one. It was compassionate to allow her to leave this world.

I held my Molly as she passed and fed her as many treats as she could eat as she passed. It was as good as it could have been.

Thank you for this.

@T.J. Mahaffey, I’m glad it was able to give you comfort.

I can’t take credit for this prayer though. I found it as well through another site: http://www.elephantjournal.com/2008/09/tibetan-buddhism-what-do-to-when-your-pet-dies/.

My condolences…what you went through is one of the hardest things any pet parent will ever have to go through. I am sure your Stingl felt your love through it all.

A short note to say thank you for your this blog entry.

Over the past couple of days, I began searching out some Dharma-based comfort over my dog’s imminent euthanasia. I found your post and printed a copy of the prayer on a slip of paper for my pocket.

Through barely controlled tears, I read this aloud to my beloved dog, Stingl, several times as she lay sedated and breathing softly in my lap. We sat together on a blanket on the floor of our vet’s examination room.

That prayer gave me some sense of focus and mindfulness as I said goodbye to my dog for the last time.

I love you
