It is so hard. I had a little schnauzer, Laddie. He had bad arthritis in his back hips. I gave him medicine for it. He'd have something wrong, I'd take him to the vet, and we'd have the conversation about when will the "time" come? My wise old vet always said, "You will know". And he was right.
You knew, you knew since September. You would not have taken that step if you didn't know. Of course, due to the grief and loss, you think maybe it wasn't time, because you want him back - but you know it was time - you would never have taken that step if you didn't know. I'm so sorry you are going through this, it is so hard, so sad, but "Keller is now running with all his strength and glory.His eyes are alert once more. He is prancing like the King he is... and waiting for me until we can be together again." And that is all that matters!

Oh, Shada, I hope you find comfort. You did the right thing. It's always hard to face when it's time to let go. Hugs....

Shada...I am so terribly sorry for your loss of Keller. Gayle is right. You know when it's time. The grief you are feeling is trying to tell you different, but you know you were right. I've gone through it too and it does get better, Shada...I promise. {{{{hugs}}}}

It's so hard to let go of our pets and companions. Like the others have already said, you knew in your heart that it was time. It's a difficult decision to make and you took your time and knew that it was the right thing to do. You know that Keller doesn't hurt and ache any more. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh Shada, I am so sad with you. You did do the right thing at the right time. Your bond with Keller is so strong that you just knew.
I will keep you both in my prayers and in my heart. I'm sending you hugs.
