We let Miko go today.

Sorry Mamasan. I know it hurts but you allowed one of your best friends to go peacefully. I'm sure no matter the choice Miko is still happy and still loves you and your daughter all the same. Give your daughter my regards as well. And spend some time with her, a little more than usual. And do it around where Miko liked to play or rest, I'm sure he'd appreciate the thought and act. Don't know what else I can say. I probably sound like a blubbering clown eh? I just want you and your daughter to know there are people who want to comfort you through this time. Take care -Pro.

Hi Mamasan! I've been busy with my studies lately. And I'm thankful for the BR you gave me on my response to one of your post about Miko. And I was wondering how he was. I'm quite sad to have read that he went on his journey. But I think you did the right thing. And it shows how much you loved him to let him go. You're brave. I will miss him too. I may have seen him just now by his picture. But from your posts, sssiiiggghh...he was a good friend. Farewell to you buddy...I will miss him too...(^^,) Keep on smiling Mamasan! and thank you for sharing your stories of Miko with me.

It's never easy to let a loved pet go. Because they are more than just pets, They are our friends, our family. We love them and try to do what's best for them. I know its not easy, but you did the best thing you could have done for him. You released him of his pain and suffering. And it takes a great deal of love and strength to do what you have done. Always keep the memories you have of him close to your heart. Through these memories he will live on with you. I am greatly sorry for your loss and know that there are no words to heal the pain. Just remember him always and keep his memories alive. And know that you did the best thing you could do for him, because now he is no longer in any pain. Much love to you and your daughter!

Sweetie I am so sorry to read this I know how hard that is I know what you are going through I have been away so I only just got this today when I got back Love and a big Hug to you

This is always hard. We had to let our dog go about a year and a half ago after my wife had him for nine years. He had gotten old and was in constant pain. It took her a while to get over losing him, and she still misses him even now. It will get better with time.

I'm sorry about hearing this sadness..i don't know how to do to comfort you..If i were you,i would have felt very heartbroken as well.Do your best to get rid of deep sanness.Remember your dear Miko for ever...OK?

I was so sorry to hear of your terrible loss mamasan. Losing a much loved pet must be the next worse thing to losing a child, and my heart goes out to you. A few years ago I had to put my two old poodles to sleep - one had terminal cancer and the other one kept having heart attacks, (they were brother and sister), so we decided to put them down together; it was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. But, we have to think of their quality of life, not our own feelings; you did the right thing, and it will take a while for you to get over it, but take comfort in the fact that he is at peace now.

I'm really sorry for your loss. It is always sad when a close member of the family passes on. But in his condition, it was probably the best and most humane thing to do to let Miko go, than to see him suffer further. Years ago, my wife also had a pet dog Vicki. At 12 years of age, she was getting old and had kidney problems, and she had to be put down. It was something that had to be done so as not to prolong Vicki's suffering. My wife cried for days as she was very close to her pet dog. It's alright to grief and let the wounds heal over time. Over time perhaps, you can get another new pet and learn to love him/her with the same love you and your daughter had given to Miko.
