The following poem was written to help me work through the difficulties faced when I realized we would soon have to make the unfathomable decision that it was time to put to rest, our beloved 12 year old German Shepherd, Misty. The tears seemed never-ending ... she was my only "child."

This poem is so amazingly touching. I fear that I will soon have to make this desicion for my 14 year old German Shepard, and even though I know it's for the best, I can barely stand to think about it. It will never get easier, but it's good to know I'm not alone.

Loved your poem! it re-minds me of charlie my nans cat he got hit by a car and his bowl stoped working and my nan had to decide in keeping him with a bag for bowl and on drugs ( pain killers) for the rest of his life or to let him go she chose to let him go! you should of seen his eyes when we said good bye i even saw a tear! i miss him so much as my grandpa left him for us when he died and it was like letting apart of him go too! Thank you!

This poem really touched my heart. I am going through the same ordeal with losing my "baby". He was an 18 year old cock-a-pooh that I loved with all my heart. I lost him two days before Christmas and I am having a very difficult time with this lose. He was just like my little kid and I miss him every day. It is just so difficult not having him with me. He was my best friend and we were always there for each other. I miss him so much. How do I learn to cope better with my lose and when will I be able to move forward and get over this hurt, or rather learn how to better deal with this pain? I loved your poem, but I can not re-read it at the time. (I have class later and I have to have myself together for that). Thank you for reading this
