For those of you who actually read this......and might be wondering.....
My dog, Erma Bee passed away on Tuesday, July 29th, at 12:30 pm.
I believe it was the hardest decision I've ever had to make in my life. But, I couldn't bear the thought of her suffering. She couldn't rest, and her breathing was so shallow. She just paced and paced, and her feet kept slipping out from under her. She didn't want to eat. The vet said we could try stronger pain pills but she kept throwing up the ones we already had.
So, with indescribable pain in my heart, I made the decision to end her pain.
I cried for days. Literally. (And now I'm crying again...)
We brought her home and buried her under the big tree in the back yard.
You know, I never really thought that animals went to heaven when they died. Some people don't believe they even have souls. But, I know Erma had a soul, and a personality, and emotions and feelings. And, when I think about all the good that pets bring into people's lives, and the love they give, I have to wonder whether they just might be there when we get to heaven.
If Erma is there now, I'm sure she is barking with joy, running down the streets of gold, her ears flapping in the wind. :)
