Hard

Yesterday was a most difficult day for our family.
We had to make the hard decision to let Violet go and join her brother, Mr. Lucy and my father on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.
Many of you know that it has been a long 18 month struggle trying to keep Violet going.
It all began with orthopedic issues resulting in eventual lameness and her not being able to sit, stand, hop or move around at all.
On Friday night, Violet suffered some sort of neurological event during the middle of the night and was rushed to the ER at Windcrest Animal Hospital in Wilmington, DE Saturday morning.
Thankfully her regular vet, Dr. Wilkerson, was working and was able advise us as to what the right decision was, and to be with all of us at the end.

Goodbye my sweet girl.
We love you and look forward to reuniting with you on the other side.
Until then, please take good care of your little brother, Mr. Lucy, and your grandpa.

Oh....i know the feeling.
It is always difficult to come to that decision and a painful moment.
But, you did the right thing, even if it was heart breaking...

So very sorry! You gave Violet a good life and she was loved by many through your photos! Cherish the memories and make a book to memorialize her life.

This is unbearably sad news. Violet was such a part of your life, of PBase life here on your galleries, and now it seems so hard to believe she is gone. Losing a beloved pet is one of the hardest things... they are with us for such a short time yet have such a huge impact. Rest in peace little Violet.
Julie Tremblay04-Jul-2016 12:12
So sorry to hear. You have all my sympathy.

Tom LeRoy03-Jul-2016 13:25
I can understand your emotions right now, as we too have lost precious pets that we loved, all four cats that lived quite long. The decision is heart wrenching but as time passes you will be comforted that you and the vet made the right decision.

Very sad to hear all your recent bad news Stephanie. My sincere condolence with the recent passing of your Dad and, the loss of two dear pets. When we lost our little pet, quite some time ago now, I held her at the end and then afterwards had a good long cry before going home again.

Yvonne03-Jul-2016 11:01
A sad photo to remember your little Violet over the years to come... I'm sure you did
the right thing, as hard as it is.
