    I am heartbroken to tell you that I had to let Carlos go to heaven yesterday. He was healing from his ACL surgery and stepped up a small step and his left leg gave out. I rushed him to the vet and after sedated X-rays they determined his leg had broken near his left hind quarters. We just had X-rays in March and those looked fine. The vet could not do anything and said our only option was and orthopedic specialist, but they said if they could do anything it would be a painful and difficult recovery and possibly a wheel cart. I couldn't put Carlos through that, he had already had 2 surgeries in 8 months. It was too much for the little guy to take. My heart is broken. I rescued him, but he also rescued me and loved him with all my heart. RIP my little buddy.

    CeCe, my heart aches for you. I wish I had the words to say to help take the pain away, but there is nothing that I can say more than I am so very, very sorry. I know it hurts so bad right now, but it will get easier over time. Believe me.

    When we had to say goodbye to Caleb it was a sadness I have never experienced. I pretty much stopped living. But me and Allen helped each other by remembering all the things he did throughout his life. The good and the bad. We cried and laughed. It was great therapy for us.

    Sweetie, just always remember that you did everything that you possibly could for your fur baby. He was such a lucky little boy to have you as his mommy. I wish I could give you a huge hug right now to let you know it will be okay.

    Again, I am so very sorry.

    Oh no, I just read this post. I am so sorry for the loss of your fur baby. With all his issues, you did the right thing. I know this has to be so difficult for you. I have no children, so my pets are my kids. My heart goes out to you. Hugs.

    We've been thru this recently several times. There is no right answer because there is no good answer. You gave him a fantastic life for as long as God let you. Bless you
