April 18, 2005, we had to say good-bye to our sweet baby boy. Murphy was 13-1/2 years old and the love of our lives. Over the past few months, he lost most of his sight and his hearing and, in the past month developed heart problems, so it was time. This was one of the last pictures we had of him and it was so sweet I wanted to share. Murphy lived to love and be loved and we miss him terribly but we are happy we were able to spare him any suffering.

I wanted to add that this thread is a beautiful idea and it is so heartwarming to read about so many wonderful pets and to know so many understand and share our feelings.

Wink, what a wonderful picture of your boy. As difficult a decision it must have been, you definitely showed your absolute love to Murphy by making the choice to spare him further suffering. Thank you for sharing Murphy with us. (((Wink ~ Murphy ~ Family)))

Aww, Wink, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. What a sweet picture. I know how hard it is. You gave Murphy a great life for a lot of years and when the time came provided the most difficult and unselfish act of love. My thoughts are with you.

Wink, I'm terribly sorry that your time with your dear little doggy is over. He had a really great life with you: even at the end he was stylin' and I can tell you took wonderful care of him. I'm sure he loved you as much as his tiny little doggy-heart could love anyone. In that photo Murphy looks very dignified, but very wise, too, and you were extremely kind to let him go with his dignity still intact. Sometimes I feel we as a people are more humane in our treatment of animals than we are in the way we treat elderly and terminally ill humans. Does that make sense? I mean, we can let our pets go when we know there is no hope for their recovery and before they have to suffer, yet we hold onto horribly sick people until their bodies totally give out. That seems inhumane to me in some cases.

I lost my sweet baby Liz on Friday, 20 May, 2005. She had turned twenty years old just a month ago, and she failed rapidly and unexpectedly, and she didn't suffer. My poor kitty became lethargic and didn't seem to want to eat on Wednesday, so I took her to the vet on Thursday. Blood was drawn, she was given B12, and she was treated in the office for anemia and dehydration. I took her in to the hospital again first thing Friday, and was told that her pancreas and liver were in failure and that her kidneys had just begun to fail. They gave her more sub-cu fluids, a second B12 shot, and they kept her on a heating pad for about an hour, and then I took her home. She passed at 3:50 p.m., just minutes before my kids got off the school bus. They'd said their good-byes to her in the morning, however, as I just had a bad feeling. I rocked my baby girl during her entire last two days; we were never apart. When my husband came home from work at 3:00 a.m. on Friday, he held her while I took a shower. I slept for two hours during her final 48 hours of life, and both those naps Liz and I took together in my bed, just like we've slept together for twenty years. Oh my God, how I miss my Liz. I'm so glad that I didn't have to have her put to sleep. She passed quietly, softly, in my arms in our favorite chair. My kids are distraught, too. They really loved our dear old kitty.

Sia, I'm so sorry for your great loss of sweet Liz (who looks like my Critter so it hits doubly hard here). What a loving way to see her out.
