Hey everyone. Too those that know of dingo, I am about 80% sure sat will be his finally visit. I have the date scheduled to put Lelloo (My girl) and Mo (como's kid) on Lupe And Dingo's ethunasia. He hasn't been doing good these past few weeks. I bought meds for his bladder issues & infection but they arent really bringing back my original dingo. Between 3-4 weeks, ding's pittifull weight of 1 1/2 lbs had just dropped off like water droplets. I don't even want to weight him now. He also is just a rack of bones. At least when he didn't have fur, You could see a little bit of weight on him. Some may say, "fight for him! Don't let him give up!" But the thing is, He fought every day he was with me. He made freinds, learned to play, and was happy. Now the only sign of life is a want to get out of the ferret nation. He sleeps more than he's awake and I often wonder if he's dreaming of the rainbow bridge. Does he dream of his life with monster only to wake up in this state? I want to fight for him. I don't want to loose him. But I've been feeling it even more now that he just only wants to see his best friend. He had spent his life fighting to live and now that he has finished the journey, He is ready to go. The appt is this sat. I'm upset. He's upset. We both just want this to be over. I want him to see his best friend again. I don't want him to get worse and I almost feel that this is the right place to stop. One thing I do ask..no plead. Is that someone here could make a greeting? I got one for monster from Fml but it just wasn't as personal as someone here that read their posts. Knew their friendship.

I'm crying after reading that - I know how hard you've fought for Dingo. I'm so sorry you have to make such a hard decision. My thoughts and prayers are with you

Oh, hon, you've fought, he's fought; but his little boy body is tired. You're his mom, and you know better than anyone else when he's ready. If it's time, it's time-that's not your fault. He knows that you're the best mom he could have ever had, and that you've fought for him and tried to bring him through as long as possible. You are the reason he had happiness, and now you're giving him the ultimate infinite happiness by letting him reunite with his best buddy. Tell me, which is more humane; to let a baby struggle and fight and go on beyond tiredness and past exhaustion without comfort or joy, or to give the gift of the bridge, where he will always be happy, whole, and with friends looking down on you, dooking. There is no contest. You are a great mom, and nobody here is going to say they know better than you, because in your heart, you know this is right. I am so sorry that you have to let him go. You are just as brave as he for giving him this gift.

I can only imagine what your going through. My heart is breaking for you and Dingo but your his Mom and you'll when it's time, I've heard that they'll let you know, a look a sigh... somthing. Me, I've never had to make that decision and I admire your strength and ability to do so. I will be praying for both you and Dingo....for your strength and comfort for both of you...

You and Dingo have been through a lot together. You are the one who knows Dingo and understand his needs better than anyone. Dingo has been so lucky to have you, and you have been so lucky to have him as well. Dingo will always be with you. I lack the ability to write rite bridge greetings for a handful of reasons - If I had any talent as a bridge greeter, I would write the most beautiful, happy story for you and Dingo to share. Hugs to you and Dingo. You and he will have a different journey ahead of you - but that jouney will b one you take together. Dingo will always be in your heart. -jennifer

Poor wee Dingo. He's truly a very lucky fuzz to have someone who is willing to take the responsibility, to grant him the release that he now craves. Sometimes their hearts are too strong, their will pushing far beyond what they should be able to bear. The sign of a strong ferrent is being able to assist them, to walk with them to the bridge and then wave goodbye and watch them walk over the other side. A traveling candle is lit, and will continue to burn guiding his little paws until he's greeted along the path on the way too the bridge. A friend waits patiently, playing quietly in the cool stream by the bridge. Every now and then he lifts his head and sniffs. His friend is coming soon. Soon they will once again play, not the way they use too, but in a way two happy healthy furfriends play. There are going to be many happy games of chase....but until then, he will wait....patiently for his friend. Please know that offering Dingo release, is a gift to him. Remember, Dingo never truly leaves, he is always with you, in your memories, in your heart. ciao

Aw You are making the right choice. He has been a fighter, and has had such a wonderful life in your home. He has had friends, skinned and furry, and all the love he could ask for. Rest in Peace little Dingo, your Journey will be soft and easy with your loving mommy there to guide you out of this life, and your beloved Monster will be waiting for you when you arive at the Bridge. *hugs*

Last Night Was kind of bitter sweet. We did a finally ferret meet-up for him which included his friend, mojo, little soco, Kahula ( who got her butt handed to her by my pixie. lol Final she got a dose of her own medication. ), and Babe & Vaxine (aka Papita & Ceribus, My fosters that I re homed. ) He was up and sniffing for a while climbing up on a friend to get to the board or standing all majestic looking on a carrier. Than he curled up in my hammock stand. Mojo followed him. Than Jack Jack. Than Tulia..Than well we ended up hoping the stand doesn't break. lol He got some grooming from i think tulia and just seemed happy. One of the coolest things that made me happy was that one of the girls husband was looking for him when we first came into the room. He spent a few moments saying hello before letting him play. And At the end of the adventure, The two girls spent a few moments saying goodbye to my little man. Never in my life would I believe Dingo would make Human freinds... He's so anti-social. Last night I let him sleep with the group and than served soup in the Morning with a side of n-bone. It didn't hit me that this is his last day until I was making myself breakfast and everything was so routinely. :sniffles: I know letting him go is a good thing. He doesn't have to suffer, be tired, and can see his best friend again but I just wish it didn't have to hurt. People Deaths are easier than animal deaths. Especially when you have to be there for them. To watch them take that last breath. I never cry for people even when it was my grandfather who killed himself leaving me and my dad to find him. But I already feel the sting of tears at the corners of my eyes, and the congestment around my nose from trying to hold everything back. I'll take a few photos tomorrow before I bury him & than one of his grave. Side by side on the hill with Monster.

I am sorry you have to go through this. I know words can not even express the feelings. I feel horrible saying it, but I feel exactly like you do about human vs animal deaths. I didn't cry at either of my my grandpas or grandmas or even a friend's funeral...not that I wasn't sad, I just feel like it is easier to cope and understand bc you know that is how life works. With our furbabies though, there is just not enough time in the world. I know after Beatrice died and I had to go through that horrible pain I just didn't want anymore ferrets. However, the joy they bring is definitely worth it all. I hope everything goes as best at it can. He has had a wonderful life with you! I know Monster will be glad to reunite with Dingo.

I am so sorry, hun. I think the reason why it hurts when our furfriends leave is because humans can say goodbye to one another. We can verbally express our love-with our fur children, we do the best we can, we talk to them, hug them, love them, but we don't 100% know if they understand what is going on or if we have their best interests at heart. I would like to think they know that, though. Love to you! I am so sorry. It sounds like he has been having a good last day.

I wish I had the words to comfort you in your time of need...you'll be in my thoughts and prayers...there are quite a few new fuzz for Dingo to meet up with at the Bridge, I'm sure that my Jasmine and Thor will be keeping an eye out for the new arrivals...
