We lost our dearest Chrissie Miss today

[kansasgal]

Chrissie was a rescue dog that we got at Christmas 5 years ago for my son (hence the name Chrissie Miss). She was a full blooded Cocker Spaniel, just the lovingest dog in the world.

She had apparently been a breeder's bitch, and when she couldn't have puppies anymore had been kicked out on the street. She was deaf from her ear infections never having been treated, and had never been housetrained..because she had never been out of a cage.

We never really knew how old she was, but just recently she had lost weight and had started having problems with her eyesight, was falling down and not able to really do anything. I had to make the decision to let her go, and it was the hardest thing. I loved her to death, and I just am crying my eyes out right now as I type this.

[scary cary]

I am so so so sorry for the loss of your fur baby.

[Mytical]

*hugs* Never easy to let go of a loved one, regardless how long we have with them.

[Marmalady]

*hugs* I'm so sorry kansasgal, it hurts so much to lose a furbaby. I still cry for my Shandy.

(and I can't think of anything bad enough to do to someone who could treat a dog like Chrissie Miss's previous owners did)

[Seraph]

/hugs/ I'm so sorry to hear this, hun. I'll be praying for you, the loss of a pet is a very difficult one.

[Zellie Crescent]

*lots of hugs* I know how you feel, it's been 5 years since we had to say goodbye to Sandy.

Sorry for your loss.

[MoonCat]

I'm so sorry. You gave her the best life she could ever have had after a bad start.

Sounds more like a puppy mill than a breeder.

[Der Cute]

Take pride in that you gave her a HELL of a better life than she'd had before. She had been caged, ignored, a breeder. You - love, snuggles, potty training, good care, and LOVE. It's sad she's gone, oh yes. but you gave her a damn good life.

[Teefies2]

I also am sorry for your loss. Just know that she waits for you at the Rainbow Bridge.

[Pixilated]

I'm so sorry. You gave her the best life she could ever have had after a bad start.

This. And also, my condolences for your loss. That's never an easy decision to make, and for what comfort it is, it's usually the last act of love we can offer to our furry friends.
