It is a big loss - a family member. I am glad that DH was holding Kitty. I believe it is an incredible honor to be there with them and share in a profound moment that speaks of Kitty's importance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saying-goodbye-1/page/2#post-1374392 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 18:09:48 +0000 Hil 1374392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hugs Thistle! We had to put down our 14 year old kitty down early this year and it was and still is heart breaking. I miss him every day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saying-goodbye-1/page/2#post-1374144 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 05:32:12 +0000 goldenpig 1374144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so sorry Thistle. It's always so hard to lose a family pet. I hope your DD will be OK. Hugs.</p> <p>I have two cats that are getting pretty old, 13 and 16. One of them is losing a lot of weight and we think he may have cancer--they just took biopsies and we are waiting for the results. The other one is sick too with some thyroid and kidney issues. I am worried about how things are going to progress, especially since these are the only pets my kids have known since they were born. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saying-goodbye-1/page/2#post-1373948 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 18:42:19 +0000 Joyce B 1373948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for the loss of your pet, Thistle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saying-goodbye-1/page/2#post-1373917 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 17:20:19 +0000 Adelfa 1373917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry, Thistle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saying-goodbye-1/page/2#post-1373875 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 15:54:51 +0000 jackiec 1373875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so, so sorry for your loss. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saying-goodbye-1/page/2#post-1373800 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 10:45:14 +0000 Style Fan 1373800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so sorry Thistle.&nbsp; Making a decision about saying good bye to a beloved pet is so difficult.&nbsp; You were such a caring fur parent.&nbsp; Kitty was so loved. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saying-goodbye-1/page/2#post-1373607 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 01:38:40 +0000 Anonymous 1373607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Many hugs, Thistle. You did the right thing by not prolonging kitty's distress. May you have wonderful memories. Children as young as DD do not yet have an understanding of death. A very simple explanation that is in line with your beliefs will probably be enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saying-goodbye-1/page/2#post-1373599 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 01:31:45 +0000 Aziraphale 1373599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry you and your family are faced with this loss. When I lost my dog, I had to keep telling myself he had a good life.

He was upset but recovered much more quickly than we did. DD will grieve but be fine if you are able to avoid being too emotional when she is told - I think kids get their cues from us in these stressful situations. </p> <p>Hugs and sympathy... </p>
