I post this through tears and with an extremely heavy heart. Yesterday Hannah went peacefully to Rainbow Bridge.
Her tiny body could no longer fight off the ravages of this horrid incurable AIHA (Auto immune Hemolytic Anemia) disease that consumed her so quickly. We had to make the decision everyone dreads for their furbabies.
Since I struggle with the thought of taking a life, I was on my knees yesterday morning, asking the good Lord to somehow tell me we were doing the right thing. After witnessing her deterioration within a few hours, we knew we were.
This has been devastating to us and I ask that if you pray, to please continue to lift us up in prayer to help heal our aching hearts.
Also, please keep Darla and Gracie in your doggie prayers. Darla has been with Hannah since we brought them home as puppies. She is wandering around our home looking for her sister. It's heart breaking.

But I am truly grateful we have been blessed with almost 11 glorious years with her. She has taught me so much, yet never uttered a word. ♥

I am so sorry that this has happened. You and your family are in my prayers. This happened so quickly. Making this decision is never easy. There really are no words that will help. Do your best. God Bless.
Sending a big hug your way. Its not easy when we loose a member of our family and our pets are part of our family. Just sent up a prayer for you, and your baby left. We are all here for you.
Karin please know you & your hubby and furbabies are all in my prayers....I'm so so very deeply sorry for your loss and please know your in my thoughts and prayers..Hugs Maria
Karin I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. I had high hopes that she would pull through I know you LOVE her deeply!! It's such a hard thing to go through I've been through it myself. I had a Cocker Spaniel "Roscoe" for 15 years and we lost him 5 years ago and I haven't had the heart to get another dog. I will keep you in my prayers. Just remember you provided Hannah with a wonderful life.
Big Hugs,
Dana

My heart aches for you. I went through this two years ago and it hurts. There is a wonderful book called When Dogs Go To Heaven, by Cynthia Rylant.
It may help.
betty, through my back door

Oh Karen, I am truly sorry for your loss..I know your furries are your babies as are mine..But know you did the right thing and that she is all better and running and playing again..and waiting for you..:)I will keep you in my prayers.:)
I am so sorry, I went through the same thing, my dog of 15 yrs got sick and very quickly deteriorated with in one day, and its the hardest decision I have ever had to make! I wondered for a long time if I had done the right thing, but ( and this my sound weird) one night I had a dream and it was my dog telling me that he was ok and he said goodbye, weird I know, but it was almost like I could feel him there, and when I woke up, I felt so much better. So I will pray that you find comfort and peace in knowing that you did the right thing, because you did!
I am so so sorry. We made that decision almost a year ago and I still miss her so much. Hannah was lucky to have had such a loving home, and a wonderful life. I'm sure she loved you very much.
I'm so sorry Karin. I know how precious Hannah was to you.

I am so sorry. There is nothing I can say to make it better, I know, I just went thru this myself with my Doxie. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray you find peace soon.
Even though you know you are doing the right thing it still hurts. May your memories comfort you
I am so sorry and I will understand your pain
Peanut i have dreaded coming to your blog to read this but know Hannah is in a wonderous place and you will see her again. Anyone who has gone thru this knows the pain and anguish your feeling and my dear Peanut I wish I could take it all away.
the right choice is, to stop the suffering.
I had to make that choice three times.
I dream of them in happy fields.
