Today I will have to have my best friend Krissi put down. We saw the vet yesterday in a last-ditch attempt to see if there was any way to improve her life. The vet brought up the "quality of life" issue which I've been thinking about for a couple months. She made one change in medication, but after viewing Krissi this morning, I've had to make that ultimate decision. So today at 2:30 PST it will happen and she will be immediately cremated.

I don't know how I'll manage without her. We've been best friends since she was 8 weeks old and she was 2 1/2 when I took early retirement in 2002. We've been together 24/7 since then. She's now 16 years 7 1/2 months. I do have Abby who's 4 1/2 but she's going to be as upset as I will be without Krissi. Krissi's been her surrogate mother since I got Abby at 8 weeks.

I've been through this with many dogs, cats, and a horse in the past, but it never gets any easier. I think I've been closer to Krissi because of all the time we've been together since I stopped working. She's also been my rock of support in trying to deal with my son's murder. I think she knows me better than anyone and I know her in the same way. I'm a Christian and have asked my son Joshua to meet Krissi when she gets to Heaven. I made the same request of him for each of my parents.

Any prayers for Krissi would be greatly appreciated.

Sandi, my heart is breaking for you.
I'm so sorry; it is such a difficult thing to do.
Hugs and prayers that you find solace in knowing that Joshua will greet her and show her around.

Oh I am so sorry.... I know exactly what you are feeling it is horrible and I have no words to describe it or what to do about it because I am still going through the same thing because I just lost my Maggie 5 months ago unexpected cancer got her.... Just this week I adopted a 10 month old long hair Chihuahua mix... she has helped me I did not think I would get another dog so soon because I still cry over Maggie everyday and I think I will for a long time all I can say is just hang in there...

I am so sorry for your loss of your little girl. May she rest in peace and may you be comforted by your memories.

Krissi will be alright up there hanging out with your son and parents. If a big red golden retriever walks up to her tell her not to be afraid, he knows a lot about leaving folks behind and traveling in houses on wheels. It is you and Abby that I will keep in my thoughts. Making a new normal with pieces of your heart missing...... (((hugs))))

Sandi, I am so sorry to hear about Krissi. What a long happy life she has had with you and Abby. Virtual (((Hugs))). Will give you real hugs when I see you in AZ.

So sorry, Sandi, (((hugs)))

I'm so very sorry, Sandi. My heart hurts for you. Hugs my friend.

(((hugs))) Sandi - she was such a sweet little girl. Give Abby lots of hugs, because you both with miss her.

Oh so sorry, my heart aches for you. You'll always have the memories

So sorry Sandi. You and your other dog will have to give each other lots of extra hugs to get through this. I know you are thinking of Krissi first so that she doesn't suffer. She'll be waiting patiently for you down the road.

(((((((((((( Sandi )))))))))))) my heart goes out to you. It never gets easier. Big hugs and more!

Oh Sandi I am so very sorry for your loss. I know Krissi will be waiting for you at the bridge. {{{Hugs}}
