Thank You.
I just wanted to thank everyone who posted about My little Jersey girl. Yesterday, Thursday has been a week since losing her. I really do not have much I can say about that. This is the first I've been online her or on Yorkie Talk. I'm having such trouble sleeping. I wake up at night and just cry. I keep thinking I'm going to open my eyes and see her. I keep wondering if there was more. Did I rush it. Should I have insisted that the vet do more to make sure. I don't know. I don't think that I will ever ever be at peace with my decision. I have this aching sick feeling that I know with time will pass. This isn't about me or looking for sympathy - I just ache for her and for her going at such a young age. Losing them when they are old and sick is not easier but you can make some sense of it but losing a baby a puppy so young hurts differently and leaves you with a constant doubt. I had this vet 13 yrs. and trusted him completely yet I find myself second guessing whether he was right - whether I jumped the gun. Anyway, sorry for rambling. I just wanted to thank you guys. And, Judy I'm not sure if you are reading this but I am so sorry about your girl. I posted on YT as well. I hope you and your family find peace and find another to heal your hearts.

Elaine, I know you are hurting and missing your Jersey girl. Of course it's easy for me to say don't second guess yourself, we all do it. But you saved your girl from misery. This was done out of love. If there was a brain abnormality and it was causing her to be aggressive, she could have been seriously hurt in a fight or one of the others could have been seriously hurt or killed. Keep telling yourself that you loved her so much you could stand for her to be confused or in any kind of pain. I think you did the right thing, some would let their baby suffer because they couldn't stand the loss. You put Jersery girl above your feelings and what a selfless act that was.

I think that you did what was right in your situation. Our minds are always searching for solutions and ways that we could have done things differently. You did what was best for Jersey and was only thinking of what she would have had to deal with. I know that you miss her dearly and it was a truly sad situation for both of you. So tell your mind and heart that you and the vet did all you knew to do for Jersey.

Dear Elaine,
I did read your post on YT. You absolutely did the right thing. I also feel that "what if" a lot. What if I had boarded her and Max, what if I had not brought her out near that dog, and so on. None of it changes the fact that she is gone and none of your "what ifs" will change the fact that Jersey is gone. It is just such a painful process. I am holding your hand, and we will support each other. Love, Judy
