Hannah, the family dog, is gone. Apparently her pain was too much. From my father:
Today we did it. Hannah is no longer with us. We had a 4pm appointment and we were about ten minutes late. I held her in my lap on the way to the vets. We used Adobe Vet in Livermore, by Foster Freeze. Of course, being Hannah she wouldn’t walk into the office with dignity. She could always tell when she went to one of those places.
Once again they asked if we wanted to be with her at the end. They asked a bunch of questions. I couldn’t even focus my vision, never mind talk. I declined to stay with her. Like Freckles, I will not be able to forgive myself for that. I couldn’t figure a way to say good-by to my best friend.
She was a great dog and a lot of company. I will miss her.
Hannah, with her one blue eye…
I’m so sorry! :( *HUGS*

Posted by Marie on 08/28 at 05:24 AMHaving had to do the same for my two previous best friends, within 9 months of each other, I still remember that pain.
I’m very sorry for your family’s loss. I know it doesn’t ease the pain, but know that Hannah is young again, feeling no pain, and will be waiting when it’s your turn to cross that bridge. She’ll make sure you don’t have to make that journey alone.
Posted by scorpy on 08/28 at 11:04 AMAwww, I’m sorry to hear about Hannah’s declining health.
It is entirely unfair that our 4-legged friends can’t be with us longer.
