My 17 year old Shit Tzu Sinbad, had to be put to sleep on Friday. We were with him the whole time. It was hard, but I really think we probably should have done it sooner. I think we were being selfish, but he was still eating. I had to carry him to his food and water and outside, but he still loved his cookies. He really just slept all the time. We cried while it was happening, but know I just feel relieved. Maybe it just hasn't hit me yet. I know he is in a better place now and able to see again. I do miss him terribly, but I know he is not suffering anymore. I wish I could see him....

My heart breaks for you! I know how hard that is to do. Although we know they are happy and healthy again it still doesn't make us wish they were here with us and could be here with us forever.

Here's a poem that will hopefully help you grieve.....It's helped me numerous times...http://www.rainbowbridge.com/Poem.htm

Rainbow Bridge.....

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

I'm so very sorry for your loss, and I do know that they are very lovingly taken care of by Spirit People who are deeply devoted and loving of animals. It is a reward of sorts for those loving people who are granted their wish of being a caregiver of animals and are very good to these newly-crossed over animals. I would think that your beloved pet will be well cared for and is now of course in a brand new healthy youthful body in the Spirit Realm and that is really a blessing. He is indeed now in a better body, a better place, and has perfect vision.
