Jazzysmom,
I'm so sorry, you guys are in my thoughts.

Thank you to everyone.
Gypsy's passing was quick and peaceful. She, the vet, and I all sat together on a big blanket on the floor and he waited until I gave the go ahead. As you all know, it takes only seconds. Then we sat and talked for a few minutes;he was compassionate and was even able to lighten the mood with humor. She is gone.
Jazzy and Keoki were looking out the windows for her when I came in alone. You could tell they were confused. They'd been upset and whining when just the two of us left, and were expecting her to come home full of smells from new places. When she didn't come in with me, they both kept running to the front window and looking out, then back to the door, back to the window.
And now, my house - with six other people, two Basenjis, and two cats – feels so empty. sigh.
Thank you all for your support,prayers, and good thoughts. They are appreciated.

Oh… my heart breaks reading about your situation. :( It makes me so tearful to know the pain you're going through. We're all here for you... I wish I could reach through the computer and give you a great big hug.

Bless your heart, this is so hard. I believe in rainbow bridge and hope to see those pets we have lost all over again someday… My father-in-law is a Baptist Preacher and doesn't think dogs go to heaven. So I tell him "they don't, they go to rainbow bridge and once we're in Heaven we can go over and see them whenever we want to." -My love goes out to you at this difficult time.-

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts & prayers to you & your family for comfort.

:( Oh, goodness. I looked at the first few sentences of this thread earlier in the week and had been tiptoeing around it all week, afraid to read through and wind up bawling at my desk. Much better to be weeping now in my quiet house on a Sunday morning.
Makes me want to go snatch my sleeping b's out of their beds and give them a good snuggle…but we all know how popular an idea that would be! They're in for some good scritches and hugs when they wake up on their own, though.:p
What a tough decision, Jazzysmom, and a good mom you are to have let your girl go. Hugs to your whole family; the two footed and four footed kids who all must miss their big sis.
Run, Gypsy, run! Good Girl!
