    I'm so very, very sorry! It's terribly hard to let them go.

    Farewell Gyspy. You have touched so many hearts in your short life. Dawn, I can only hope that all of my babies have been loved and cared for with the strength and devotion that you have shown Gypsy. She was a beautiful lady and now is a beautiful angel.

    I am so sorry for your loss....

    We get so much selfless loved from our pups, knowing that they will go on living a bit just because they know we want them to :sadsmile:

    I am glad you had your peaceful, loving week with Gypsy.
    I want that with Gavin (in at least 10 years!) if I get the chance.
    Then I will still cry my eyes out for weeks, because we never get enough time with our short-lived furry loved ones.

    again, we are all mourning with you.
    in that way only a fellow pet lover can (and no one else quite understands)

    Oh, Dawn. I know words can't help much, but I grieve with you for your loss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Gypsy gave you a precious gift by hanging on for you. I believe that with all my heart, because my heart dog did the same thing, and I had to make that awful, but loving decision.

    She's at Rainbow Bridge now, no more pain, no more disease. It is one of the greatest things in life to share a loving relationship with a dog.

    Many warm hugs to you, Dawn.

    Dawn, I'm so sorry to learn of Gypsy's passing. You are in my thoughts. You've endured so much already. As others have said, you did the right thing to let her go, and to be so thoughtful and caring about it. And you DO deserve all the credit we are giving you. Not everyone would be able or willing to go through what you have done to keep Gypsy going for as long as you did.

    Gypsy joins many of our other pets waiting for us at The Rainbow Bridge! She is happy, healthy, running around doing what she loved doing here on earth, but at The Bridge!

    My sincerest love and sympathies to you and yours during this difficult time :hugs.

    :sadsmile:

    Cindy your words are so true! Only a few of us (esp here) truly understand the depths of pain we fell when our pet passes on!

    Dawn, my heart breaks for you and my tears fall freely. What a good, strong and loving Mom you were to your Gypsy girl. Giving her the final gift of letting her go was the bravest and most loving thing you could do for her. I know our beloved furry ones are waiting for us at the bridge and we will be together again.

    So sorry about Gypy's passing. It was very sweet what you wrote.
    She touched so many lives here, even if we didn't know her in real, but her spirit was truly courageous and inspiring.
    Rest in peace, gorgeous girl
