I had to put my precious dog Flojo to sleep because he was having too many epileptic seizures and he was already taking 2 meds for that. He had also been diagnosed with cancer back in August 08, and had arthritis. The vet also said that Flojo probably had canine dementia (he was 13.5 years old), and if we couldn't control the seizures it was best to put him down. I've read the "Cold Noses..." book and I feel a lot better about his eternal fate. I know Flojo is in Heaven now with his Creator, Almighty God. I still feel guilty about having put him to sleep though, I had prayed to God that He would take him so I wouldn't have to do that. It just hurts that I had to do that to him, and I miss him. Coming home after work is not the same without him. I know God is with me at all times, but I still miss my big red-and-white furball. |

Dear pricla,
I can identify with you. My Suzie had epilepsy too. She was on two medications, one which gave her kidney failure. I did the same thing you did only I prayed to Saint Francis the saint of the animals that he would take her in her sleep so I would not have to have her put to sleep. It ended anyway that I did. I felt guilty too, like I should have done more. But it turns out we should not feel that way. We did the best we could. I think we spared them a lot of pain and suffering. I will say a prayer to Saint Francis for you. God bless.

Suziesmom,
Thanks so much for your comforting reply. It's been 6 months since Flojo's passing and I still miss him so much! I miss hugging him and going for long walks with him. God bless you,
Laura
