I have been trying for two days not to think about what will happen this afternoon. I have to try to function at work and just thinking about this precious baby makes me want to curl up in a ball and cry. I have to pretend like I care about things going on at work, but the truth is I don't care right now. I am anxious for 2:30 to get here so I will have a couple days off, but there is part of me that wishes this day would last forever.Brady has been an amazing buddy the last 11 years. There is so much about him that I will miss. I will miss seeing him at the top of the stairs when I get home. I will miss pulling up the house and seeing him looking at the front window. It's as if he knew what time I was coming home because he is always in the front window when I pull in. I will miss hearing him purr next to me at night. I will miss so much.
As hard as it will be on me to be there with him as he crosses the Rainbow Bridge, I can't imagine being anywhere else.
I love you Brady. Thank you for loving me.
I put all my pictures of Brady into an album on my flickr account. You can see them HERE.

My condolences. I still miss my guy "Pepper" who got me through my divorce. It's so hard when you have to put down an animal.
I'm so sorry you have to go through this.
Remember that helping him to cross over is the last great kind gift you can give him. You were lucky to know him, and he was so lucky to know you, too.
I'm sorry Caroline.
I am so, so sorry. Your post made me cry as it's been only a few short weeks since I lost my Tazzy. I truly believe that they are ok with leaving us when their time is here because they know things we can't possible understand. It's so much harder for us. So, so much harder.
Take special care and know I'm thinking of you as you travel this journey.
I'm so sorry.
Still reeling from my own loss in April, my heart is completely with you today. Sandra's words helped me then and I hope they do help you now as well, but selfishly we just miss 'em, dont we? It sucks sometimes to love something SO deeply that will leave here before we do. The other night, Victor asked me if I believed in Heaven as a place (in the context of a rather serious conversation) and I had to answer honestly: if I do it is because I want to see Alex again.
Hugs to you.
Aww... I'm so so sorry. I know this is terribly hard. I'm sorry.
I am so sorry too Caroline, you know I am but you had 11 years with Brady and gave him so much love and care. That's all we can really do. Still you will miss him so and that makes me cry for you. I know your pain.
I'm so sorry. It's so hard to say goodbye to a pet. But letting him go is the best gift you can give him. We lost one of our cats a year ago and it was so, so hard, but we knew we did what we had to do for him. We still miss him. They are wonderful friends who stay in our memories forever.
I am so sorry. I know your pain. I just want to give you a great big hug!
Caroline I'm so sorry. ((hugs))
Sandra sent me over to give you a fellow-kitty-lover cyberhug. The fact that he had a fantastic and loving home is the greatest thing anyone can give a "pet." I have a little yellow love monster, and just can't imagine never having known him. They leave such deep impressions on our lives.
A fun thing I did when one of ours crossed the rainbow bridge was to make a Shutterfly book. Very therapeutic, and you have these wonderful photos in a smart little book of your own making.

I'm sorry Caroline.
Thinking of you tonight :)
Caroline I am sitting here with tears streaming thinking of your sweet baby. How anxious we all were when you were trying to find a home for him when you were going to move to the apt. Things worked out for this reason. So you could take care of him in his final time. Please know you are in my heart and mind tonight my friend.
I am so sorry Caroline if it helps i can ship you an evil high matienced but lovable aussie shepard beagle mix. The things we do for our children two legged and four legged
I'm sorry you have to see your friend go. It was so hard when we lost Toto (remember Toto?). But it is good to be there with them. Take care.
I am so sorry, but at least you were there in his last moments...
