Yesterday afternoon I took Charlie to an emergency veterinarian and had him euthanized. He was doing poorly and could barely get around.
We’d been having a lot of sleepless nights where he couldn’t get his breath or stop coughing.
When it got to the point in time where I was having to give him more medication than was called for, I knew it was too much for him to keep going.
Charlie Ross Pruitt: September 18, 2006 – April 28, 2021
I loved him so very, very much. And I was with him petting him and telling him how much I loved him as he left this world behind.
I am heartbroken. He was almost 15 and I’ve spent every single day with him by my side. Slept with him every single night.
He has now crossed the Rainbow Bridge and is out of pain. I hope Abi was there waiting for him.
So sad for your, good dogs go directly to a better place… I had my Lylly euthanized in the spring after she had been ill for months and just worn out at 16 plus years. You see her photo on her Facebook page Lylly Spry.
I think her spirit became a robin as the first one of spring flipped past my car as I cried in the parking lot of the local coffee shop..
Felicitations… Prue
So sorry to hear about your handsome Charlie. I have been absent quite a while from reading your blog. Lots of changes in my life too. He was a great little gentleman. So sorry.
Please accept my condolences on your loss of Charlie. I have just one dog who is 5. I dread the day, but I’m so glad you have Ivy to keep you company.
I’m so incredibly sad to read this. I remember when you lost Abi. I’m so so sorry. I’ve been behind in my reading and just saw your lastest blog post and nothing about your beautiful Charlie and I feared the worst as he wasn’t doing great last time I read your blog. You gave him so much love and enjoyment. A very lucky dog indeed.
Just catching up with your blog as I have had a tragedy in my life too. I am truly sorry for your loss Brenda. I know our fur babies are like our children. With that being said, Charlie had the best Mom ever. You did so much for him. Love and hugs
I’m just reading your blog and I’m very sad for you Brenda! I know how hard it is to lose a beloved family pet! It’s gut wrenching! My heart goes out to you!
Charlie knows he was loved bc you took great care of him and did everything humanly possible to make sure he wasn’t hurting ever. You are a fantastic pet Mom Brenda!
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and hope that your heart will hurt less each day forward!
I had that miserable covid that knocked me for a loop and I’ve always been healthy! I was just thinking about getting the shot too, b4 it got me and now I need to bc I never want to be sick like that ever again!
Stay safe, healthy and strong!
My heart goers out to you Ive had a few dogs and this part never gets easy.
I am so sorry for your loss.
My deepest sympathies for you. ❤️
{{hugs}} We never seem to have our fur babies long enough with us. You gave him a wonderful life. My prayers and thoughts are with you during the days to come.
Brenda, I am so very, very sorry for your loss. Our pets become family members and bring us such joy. Know that you are in my thoughts!
I’m so sorry to hear of Charlie’s passing. How long ago did you lose Abi? We had to let our 8 y.o. Trooper go in April. He got sick so quick but actually he was diagnosed last year with early kidney failure. We spent thousands trying to save him. Its heartbreaking to let our fur babies go but we don’t want them to suffer either. So sorry Brenda
I lost Abi on May 10, 2018.
I am so sorry and so sad for you. You are in my prayers.
Soo sorry for loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
I am so sorry! It’s amazing how much love we can get from them and for them. Sending prayers for you.
Just want to say Brenda I feel your pain, thinking of you.
I’m so sorry. Praying for you.
Oh Brenda I just read this post. I am so sorry. Charlie was so lucky to have you. Sending prayers and hugs to you and Ivy.
Sending you ((((()hugs)))))! We all know what a painful time this is for you. Sending you healing thoughts and prayers.
I’m so sorry for your deep hurt & loss. Praying for you. Donna Black
My deepest sympathy.. Someday when you can breath again, try to remember this. Of all the dogs and all the people in the world, how lucky were you to have a dog who you loved and who loved you back so much. You were meant to be together.
I’m so very sorry. You gave Charlie a good life & took such loving care of him. I’m sure that is why he made it to almost 15 years, although it is never as long as we would like. I hope that Ivy gives you comfort during this difficult time. Many hearts feel your sorrow today.
Omg, I’m so sorry Brenda :o( He is in a better place with Abi. My thoughts are with you.
Tania
I am so very, very sorry. I know this is absolutely heartbreaking. Charlie was adorable, precious, and very loved. I wish there was something I could say that would help, but I know from experience there is not. Every one of us who “knew” Charlie loved him. He will be missed always. I’m so sorry.
I have been reading your blog for a couple Ed of years now, and feel as if we are friends. I know how difficult it is to lose a beloved pet, a part of your family and your heart. I will pray for you.
Oh Brenda I am so sorry for your loss. I’m right there with you. I just lost my sweet 15 yr old Harley and it is so hard. I feel for you. Just remember all the good times.
This is sooooooooo sad!!! I have tears and a giant lump in my throat upon learning you had to say goodbye to him—just like when it was Abi’s time to go.
I’m remembering she went during the month of May…and now Charlie in June. Back-to-back months, though separated by years.
And she DEFINITELY was there to greet him and start playing with him *immediately *!!!
You were the best fur baby Mom. So sorry for you loss!
Oh, I’m so sorry for your loss; he is such a cutie. Glad you had him in your life for 15 years but now sad he’s gone.
Take care.
Cindy
Oh Brenda, I’m so very sad to read this. I know how special he was and how much you loved him and cared for him. You gave him a wonderful life.
Oh Brenda…I am so, so sorry. My heart goes out to you. The loss of a beloved fur baby is incredibly hard. I know how much you loved Charlie. And he knew it, too. He had such a wonderful, loving life with you. Sending you much love and a big hug.
Oh, Brenda, we have all known and loved Charlie Ross for so long through your writings and pictures, and are heartbroken for you. Though he has left this life, he will never really leave you, nor will Abi Rose. Keep on calling to him. He is there somewhere beyond time and he and Abi still love you very much.
I’m so sorry. It is such a hard thing to do. I had to have my boy Dickens put to sleep last week and I miss him so much. He was blind, had a heart condition and was 17, so I guess I was luck to have him so long, but he leaves such a hole in my life.
So sorry for your loss!
Brenda, I am so sorry for your loss. Charlie was so loved by you & all of us knew him!!
Be good to yourself. 🕊
Brenda,
I am so sorry to hear Charlie has gone to the Rainbow Bridge. You were both fortunate to have each other.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I know you loved him and gave him the very best life possible. Hugs to you.
Dear Brenda, I’m so sorry to learn about Charlie Ross. He could not have had a better or more loving person in his life than you. Hugs and love.
So sad. I’m thinking of you at this time and letting you know you are loved and cherished by so many readers. We have lived with Charlie too and know how much you love him. He will always be a special dog and your dear friend. You did the right thing but that doesn’t make it any easier. Take care of yourself.
I am so sorry. I know the pain and heartache. He is in God’s arms now. Pat.
So very sorry you had to say goodbye to Charlie. I felt I knew him through your love and posts. Its very sad and hard to lose a loved one. He had the best of the best lives with you and other Family. “All Dogs go to Heaven”.
So very sorry Brenda.
So sorry for you, Brenda. At least he is not suffering anymore. Take care x
I am so sorry for your loss.
I AM SO VERY VERY SORRY!!! PRAYERS FOR YOU & SWEET IVY….
I know it’s very, very hard to come to this decision. You provided love and support all the way. My heart is heavy for you as you begin this journey through grief.
Brenda,I am so very sorry I admire you so much for doing what you did ,I know this had to be one of the hardest things you ever did .I am praying that God gives you strength as you go thru your grief .Again I am so very sorry .
Oh Brenda, I’m so very sorry! I know your heart is breaking, and there’s nothing any of us can do. I know it was a hard decision to make, doing what you knew was best for your baby. He knew how much he was loved, and he loved you back, just as much. He’s at peace now, and enjoying playing with Abi. And you have all your friends here, who love and care very much for you. You’re in my prayers. Sending lots of hugs and love your way.
He was a special special boy… And I know he loved you as much as you loved him.
I am so very sorry.
Bless…
So sorry to read of your heartbreak. What a wonderful life of love and care you gave Charlie.
Oh Brenda, I am so very sorry about your sweet little Charlie Ross…. You gave he and Abi Rose wonderful lives and I am sure she is was there to meet him when he crossed over the Rainbow Bridge….no more pain or suffering…. I am so glad that Ivy is there to Love and comfort you.. will keep you in my prayers…
My heart aches for you. Thanks for sharing sweet Charlie Ross with us through the years.
Losing a beloved pet is so very difficult 🦋
So sad to hear this. Take care of yourself.
Brenda, there’s nothing any of us can say that will ease your pain, but perhaps it might help knowing that he is now happy, out of pain, and can chew and eat and breathe like he should. I’m sure Abi is with him showing him her favorite places and trying to boss him around already. It’s those of us that are left behind then have the misery. We can be soothed knowing that they are comfortable, warm and safe. I’m sure that Ivy is confused and concerned about you. Kitties are wonderful healers, so let her do her job as she knows best. I’m so very sorry.
I am so very sorry for your loss. It’s so very difficult to lose our pets. You gave him so much love and care until the very end. He is pair free now and with Abi.
Oh Brenda … I’m so very sorry. Charlie was the sweetest little guy and you were the best Mom ever to him. It’s so difficult to lose a family member and my heart goes out to you. (((Hugs)))
Oh Brenda, I am so sorry to hear this news. I know he meant so much to you. I am sure he is with Abi. May you take comfort in that…and in your memories of him.
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss.
My heart breaks for you. R.I.P. Charlie, you were so loved 💕
My heart goes out to you Brenda. Been in this same sad place many times thru the years and it just breaks my heart every time. I am sending you a hug across the miles tonight. God bless you. Carolyn Gilbert
I’m so sorry
I am so very sorry for your loss….what a huge heart ache with all the other struggles you have going on right now. I’m thinking of you.
Charlie was loved all the way to heaven. He is running with Abi and pain free we know. Take good care of yourself so they both can be at peace over the rainbow.
Very sorry about Charlie, Brenda. You are in my thoughts.
I am so sorry. When I saw the heading my heart sunk. No words to express my heart felt sympathy.
You’re in my thoughts. I’m so very sorry for your loss, Brenda.
Brenda,
I am so very sorry. Thinking of you and Ivy at this time. There are no words. I wish you peace and comfort at this time. Prayers and many hugs!!
Brenda,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Our pets are our babies in every sense of the word and their loss is deeply felt. My heart aches for you.
I feel like I have lost a loved one with you. Peace be with you,
Sorry For your loss,
Never easy. To say goodbye to our fur babies.
You took such great care of Charlie.
Sending hugs, ,Janie
Hugs Brenda. So very sorry for your loss. You gave him such a wonderful life. Take one day at a time. There are many of us lifting you in prayer.
I’m so sorry. I know how hard this was for you. No more pain for your sweet pup. Hugs.
My heart breaks for you. We love our pets and they are our fur family. No words I have will take away your pain. May you find comfort in the love and life he shared with you, Abi and Ivy.
I am so sorry Brenda. I know your heart is breaking. I know this is an unbearable loss. Saying a prayer you find times
Of peace as you grieve. I am sure Abi Was there to meet Charlie.
I’m so sorry-losing Charlie is like losing a child-if fact he was your little boy. Dogs are wonderful-they love you just because you are you.
So sorry for your loss, it is never easy to say goodbye to a fur baby.
Hugs💜
So very very sorry. You loved Charlie and gave him the greatest gift you could give him, to release him from his pain. He was very loved !
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. It was very brave of you to help end Charlie’s suffering – and to give him such a wonderful life for 15 years. Every present or former pet parent is with you in your sadness and shares their love and understanding.
Pat
Oh Brenda! My heart aches for you. It is sooo hard to let go of those little bodies that we love so very much. I’m glad you have Ivy. She can’t replace Charlie, but at least you’re not alone. YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS!
Barb
I am so so sorry Brenda..I know how hard that decision is to make..I am glad that you have Ivy there to give you some comfort..
Oh dear Brenda. There is no pain like what you are experiencing now. Words barely comfort, but the only ones I offer now are encouragement to think of what you gave your little guy (and Abi), in terms of safety, comfort, and unconditional love. There is no better existence for any living creature.
So sorry for your loss.
Brenda, I’m so sorry to read this. Sending you hugs and big dog smooches from my babies. One day at a time is all we can do. I remind myself that the only way to avoid this heartache is to not love….and that would be even more of a heartache.
Oh Brenda, my heart hurts for you. Losing our beloved furry family members is so tough. Hugs and prayers…
I am so sorry. There are no words that can help. Thoughts and prayers.
I am so very sorry. I know how hard it is letting our babies go.
Brenda, so sorry. What a loss. Take care of yourself. It is a very difficult time. Love to you.
I am so sorry. Losing a pet is so difficult. My prayers to both you and Ivy.
Oh Brenda, I am so so sorry. I wish for you comfort and peace with the knowing you were an amazing and loving mama to Charlie.
Be ever so gentle with yourself and remember so many care about you. Sending Peace and Love. Peggy
Oh, gosh, I’m so very sorry. Saying goodbye to our pets is one of the hardest experiences in life. I hope knowing you gave Charlie the absolute best life possible will help you through your grief. ((((Hugs))))
So sorry Brenda. Brings tears.. as I know how hard it is to let them go, on “our” time rather than naturally.. but there comes a point where we just don’t want them to suffer anymore. Our little furbabies are sometimes such fighters for life, bless their hearts. My older cat is becoming in the same condition and I know one of these days, I will have to let her go. Sending hugs and blessings.. for the years you did have with him and all of the wonderful memories…. hugs.. Marilyn
So, so very sorry…wish I had better words to help ease the pain. Take comfort in Ivy where you can.
Hi Brenda,
I am so very sorry. My heart aches for you. Margie
Brenda, as much as your heart aches right now, I hope in time you’ll come to think of Charlie at peace and playing with darling Abi. Your love for him will keep him close to you always, as it has Abi.
I share your sorrow and will miss your sweet boy.
Brenda,
I wish you Peace, light and love.
~ Sara
I read your blog everyday. I had to comment today to express my sadness. I am so sorry for your loss. You were such a loving and devoted mama to Charlie. I truly believe Abi was there waiting for Charlie when he crossed the rainbow bridge.
Brenda, please accept my condolences on losing Charlie. I’m a long time reader and know how very attached you were to your baby boy. Our two labs are a huge part of our world and I know I will be devastated when they pass away. I’m so very sorry for your loss and heart ache.
so sorry for your loss, we have 7 fur babies over the years waiting at the bridge for us
I’m so sorry for your loss… letting them go peacefully is the last kind gesture we can do for them. And the hardest thing we do for ourselves. I know he felt your love every day of those 15 years. And of course Abi was waiting for him 🙂 Sending you love and comfort from Los Angeles.
You are a wonderful selfless mother and as such you gave sweet Charlie Ross all that you could right up to the end. I believe our pets are in heaven and Abi is with Charlie. Rest now, Brenda. Cuddle Ivy as much as she will allow. We are here for you. That darling little boy will be missed.
My very deepest sympathies … Charlie, breathing freely now, is running with Abi and with my own Myndie Ruth and CoCo
Sending prayers
I am so sorry. I know too well the pain that you are feeling right now. Loving a pet like you’ve loved Charlie and Abi is a wonderful part of your life. One day they will be there to greet you. Be easy on yourself now. You need time to heal……
I am so sorry little, sweet, bright eyed Charlie has passed over the Rain Bow Bridge. I am sure Abby will be there waiting for him.
Hugs to you, Brenda.
I am so very sorry for your loss Brenda. You are a wonderful pet parent and did everything you possibly could to help Charlie. Please know that I understand your pain and am grieving too. I had to have my cat euthanized on Sunday. It is by far the most excruciating decision we have to make as pet parents. My cat was in the final stages of kidney failure. She was with me for 13 years. I truly believe our fur kids are the purest form of unconditional love and there is a special place for them in heaven.
I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet baby boy. You did the right thing by taking him out of his misery, but I know that it broke your heart to do so. All pet lovers are mourning with you.
Oh Brenda,
I wish there was a way to make it easier for you to bear. I know of no one who was as devoted to a pet as you were to Charlie. He had the best life and gave you so much love. In my mind I see Abby there to greet him. Bless them and you.
Sherry B
Oh. Oh gosh Brenda.
I am heartbroken 💔 for you.
My goodness, you were (and are) the bestest momma ever to Charlie. Abi also.
I know you will miss your sweet boy 🐶 forever.
That’s how it is.
In our family we’ve experienced the same.
Still, we talk about our pets that were so loved by us. It’s amazing how our minds work in that regard ,,,,,, to desperately missing them.
You did the absolute right thing for Charlie. He didn’t deserve to keep suffering. Even though the/your pain is real, Charlie appreciates the caring you’ve have for him.
Now, give it some healing time Brenda. It helps a little bit. 😢
All of us readers will be thinking of you ,,,,, and of course Charlie & Abi.
Brenda, I am so, so sorry. He was a lovely little boy.
Hugs to you,
Gina
So sorry for your loss Brenda .
I know that there isn’t anything that I can say that will make you feel better. All that I can say is how sorry I am for your loss.
So sorry! You did everything you possibly could. He had wonderful life with you. My heart breaks for you. Our fur babies mean so much to us.
Brenda,
I am so sorry about Charlie. Losing a beloved pet takes such a toll. I will keep you in my prayers.
Julie
Brenda, I am so VERY sorry!
You did what was best for Charlie. Just remember that. And he is not in any pain now. You did what was right and he and Abi will be happy together. I know it hurts. So many of your readers have had to do the same thing and we understand your loss. Just remember that you did it for Charlie’s sake. Prayers for peace and comfort. We care.
O sweet Charlie Ross. how we loved you!
you were beloved by All of us… but most definitely by your Mom.
bless you dearest Brenda for doing for him what he finally needed the most.
and it was the hardest of all things to do. you had the courage to let him go.
our hearts to yours. XO
You will miss him so much. I am sorry.
Brenda, So very sad to hear this news. The hurt is excruciating. A hard decision but you had his best interest at heart. You gave him his best life and I know your love was deep and strong for your fur baby. RIP Charlie…you were one very cute and sweet guy. Hugs and love Brenda.
So so sorry!
Brenda, I am so very sorry…I know how bad that hurts. I will be keeping you in my prayers. Hugs, Roberta
My deepest sympathy Brenda, I know how much he meant to you
It is so hard to make that decision to let go, but you made the right one. Two of my beloved doggies pretty much went the same way, but honestly Brenda, given my experiences with my dogs, I believe they knew when there time came, and they were at peace with it. It was hard, but also the only way I wanted it to go, to be there with them at the vet’s office through the end. Your readers are grieving with you, and understand the magnitude of your loss. Ivy will need you.
Such heartbreaking news. My condolences as you weather this difficult loss. I am sure meeting Abi over the rainbow bridge was a joy for him. You really were the best mama he could have had. Hugs for you and Ivy.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m sure Charlie & Abi are running & playing again. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
I’m so sorry, Brenda! You did all you could. That’s all you can do. You kept him going for a long time. How is Ivy taking it?
Dear Brenda I am so sad to hear about your sweet Charlie. I had tears when I read this. My prayers are with you. He will be missed in your blog. He now is free of pain.
So very sorry
I am so very, very sorry…you were a GREAT momma to him…
xoxo,
Nina
I’m so sorry Brenda, I know the love you had for him. The best gift is the last gift we can give them – to end their pain, but it is the hardest one to give. Such a sweet boy he was, cherish the memories 💕
Oh Brenda! I am so, so sorry for your loss of sweet Charlie Ross. I know he holds a special place in your heart as all your animals do. Wish I knew what to say to make this easier on you, but no words can suffice. Big hugs to you Brenda. Sandra
I’m so, so sorry about your sweet Charlie! He lived a wonderful long life with you. My thoughts and prayers are with you. It’s so very hard to lose our babies. 🙏🏻🙏🏻💔💔❤️❤️
dear Brenda, I am so sad and sorry to hear this, but he is free now with Abi. Your love for him was without measure and you helped him with that last thing that you could do for him. Deep condolences. Hold Ivy close, if not physically, then emotionally. She understands.
Mary
I am so sorry. I’m at a loss for words. I learn a lot from you. Hug 🤗
I am so sorry to hear about your sweet Charlie. Hugs and healing ❣️
So, so sorry, Brenda! My heart breaks for you. Praying for you!
I’m so sorry, Brenda. Charlie was such a lovable little guy. I know Abbie was there to meet him when he crossed over. I can imagine them running and jumping, pain-free, knowing how much they were loved by their mama.
I’m so sorry Brenda. You are such a wonderful pet parent. I hope we your readers are able to bring you some comfort as you have for us over the years. Sending you hugs and comfort across the country. And yes, Abi was certainly waiting for him. ❤️
I’m so very sorry. I know how much you loved him and how much he’ll be missed. Sending virtual hugs.
I am so very sorry, Brenda. But I’m glad he is no longer having to fight to breathe.
Hugs ~
Dear Brenda
Sending most heartfelt condolences of the loss of your puppy dog. Praying for your broken heart. You did all you could do and had the courage to make a tough decision. Fall back on your beautiful memories as your grieve. Thinking of you.
I am so sorry Brenda. I have been following you forever and it feels as if I have lost one of my own. The sweet boy is now free of pain and at peace. Hugs
Oh Brenda, I am so very, very sorry to hear this about Charlie. The love you had for him showed in your writings, and I know he knew the love you had for each other. May you find peace and comfort through memories and photos. Losing a pet is like losing a part of oneself.
May knowing your sweet Charlie is no longer in pain comfort you as you mourn his loss. He was much loved by all who knew him.
I’m so sorry……I know that feeling when your most beloved dog is looking into your eyes as he passes away……I’ve experienced it not once, but twice……it is heartbreaking. RIP Charlie.
Dear Brenda, I am so sorry.
Debbie
Oh, my goodness. May heart hurts hearing this sad news. I hope you find peace knowing how much your loving care for him sustained him. You gave him a wonderful life in a loving home. Rest in peace, dear Charlie ❤️
Oh, Brenda, my heart aches for you. I know your pain and the terrible emptiness you feel. You were a wonderful mother and Charlie was one lucky dog to have you. Take comfort in knowing that he is no longer in pain and that he is running and playing with sweet Abi. Thinking of you and sending big hugs….Janice
Oh so sorry, Brenda…such days are so hard!! I know you will miss him…some dogs we never get past missing badly…at least that has been how it is for me. But hope you can have peace knowing you kept him going much longer than probably anyone else could have. That is a good age for any kind of dog!!
I’m so sorry.
Charlie touched some many lives through your blog. He was greatly loved and he will be greatly missed by so many who never met him or had the chance to pet him. Those of us who have lost beloved pets know your loss and pain. You did your very best for him and gave him excellent care. No dog was as attentively cared for as Charlie was. He was a lion in a tiny body guarding you from possums and any critter that dared invade his patio. I know you always made the best decisions concerning Charlie. I think he would thank you for the release from his ongoing pain and struggles. You made every accommodation possible to extend his quality of life. He lived a happy life with you. All dogs would want the life he had. You’re a great Mom, Btenda.
So sorry to hear this. Charlie was so special. I’m sure Abi was waiting on him.
So sorry for your loss. He was such a cute fur baby. It’s very hard to lose one you have had that long. So very sorry. Wilma Swank
I’m so very sorry for your loss. You were the best Mom Charlie Ross could have ever had.
“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, but love leaves a memory no one can steal”. RIP sweet Charlie Ross
XOXOXO
Oh I am so sorry to hear that Charlie has passed on. You both were blessed to have so much time together and I’m sure that Abi is there to greet him in doggy heaven. May you be comforted in knowing that you were the best “mom” both of them could have ever wanted. And hold Ivy tight; she knows what you are feeling and she, too, needs your comfort.
I am so sorry, Brenda. I know how hard it is to make that decision for our babies. I have done it twice. There just comes a time you have to think of them instead of how we feel about them going. Take care. Ivy will be a comfort to you, I’m sure. pam
Sending Hugs and sympathy. He was a good boy.
I am so sorry for your loss I know that he was your fur baby and loved him so much Prayers
So sorry you had to say goodbye to your little companion. It was a good life you gave him.
So sorry for your loss, it’s a tough one as they have your heart, but know that is with them in their better place. You also have the memories of all those wonderful times together as they truly are a part of you forever.
Brenda, I am so sorry.
The time comes when it’s just the kindest thing to do to let them go even though it breaks our heart. I’m glad you had him for a long time. You were the best mom he could have had.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Those of us who have fur babies understand your pain, and the heartbreaking but loving decision to help them cross the rainbow bridge and end THEIR pain. Our sweet pea Springer is 13 and I can already see the day approaching for us to make that very same choice. Your little Charlie Ross had a happy life and that was all because of you.
Oh Brenda, I am so sorry for your loss. Charlie was such a sweet boy.
I am soooo sorry. I know you loved him very much. Abi was waiting for him at the Rainbow Bridge. Both of them knew they were loved I am sure. They both were blessed to have you as their mom! You and Ivy will both need each other to get through the hard days. Love on her and know you were an outstanding mom and gave so much to them.
I wish I had words to help you thru this time . Please know you are in my prayers and have been for some time.
My heart is breaking. I have loved your dogs over the years. I am so glad you had them. I had two Yorkies. They are so sweet
You were a great mom to them.
Sharing my deepest condolences………………………..if I just had that magic wand, I would wave away the sorrow and pain, leaving only room for the best of memories. Take good care of you as you process through this. Ivy will help you along the way, along with all of us, your follows, as we lift you in prayer.
RIP sweet boy, Charlie Ross.
Oh Brenda, I am so so sorry. At least he and Abi are together.
I’m so sorry for the loss of precious sweet Charlie. I’m sure Abi was there waiting for him. God bless you for taking such good care of him.
Brenda, my sympathies for your loss. Charlie was such a comfort to you. May his memory always be a blessing. Hug Ivy tight and remember he is no longer in pain.
Oh Brenda, my heart goes out to you. I’m so sorry.
I’m so sorry. He was so lucky to have such a a long happy life and a loving mama.
I am in tears for you, Brenda. It is so hard. But so relieved for dear Charley to be free of the pain.
Thinking of you.
Oh my goodness. I know how bad it hurts. I have been there a few times myself. He is happy and playing with the other babies now.
I am so sorry and sending thoughts and prayers to you regarding sweet Charlie. He was a very sweet boy.
Linda, Ella, and Simon
Oh Brenda , I am so sorry to hear this and I’m sure you’re in tears and I am in tears for you , also.
We all believe that our fur babies are waiting us and Abi was waiting for him. Ivy will be a comfort to you. God bless you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 And Ivy. 😺😺😘
Brenda I am so sorry. Crying here in NY. I loved reading about Charlie. I have a 15 year old pup too. You are the best pet mom.
Oh Brenda, there are no words to express how sorry I am to hear about Charlie. It’s a long time to share your life with a pet and then the time comes to set them free. You were so good to Abi and Charlie. I am thankful you have Ivy to comfort you. Much love, Annette 💞
Brenda I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Charlie Ross. I also have tears running down my face while reading this. Your pets have the best most loving Mom. I can’t imagine how hard this is for you. You will be in my thoughts all day. Take care.
So sorry about Charlie. My heart breaks for you.
I’m so sorry. You gave him a wonderful life.
Words are not enough. I’ve tried to write something comforting but I just want to reach out and hug you instead. Just know that he will be in your heart forever.
They are always in our hearts, but it is so hard to let them go. Part of being a good mama is knowing when to say goodbye. You are a good mama. Abbie is there with the great news that they serve pizza. 😢
I never met Charlie but I know he was loved. He knew he was loved. That’s what matters. He will be missed.
Dear Brenda;
I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that you did the very best possible for your beloved Charlie. You gave him the very best life and love and now he is released from the pain. Very best wishes and prayers for you.
I’m so sorry.
My thoughts are with you Brenda.
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I myself have been in that position twice and know it is heartbreaking, but knew it was the right thing to do. My best friend just had to make that same heartbreaking decision a few weeks ago but she knew it was the right thing to do. Be Brave, Be Strong in knowing you did all you could do —and beyond The strong know when it is time
Brenda I am so sorry about Charlie. I breaks my heart for you. Thinking of you!!
I am so sorry…I am crying along with you…I lost my Bella girl at 16, almost 2 years ago…I know that there is nothing I can say…but, time eases the sharpness of the pain.
Brenda, I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Charlie Ross.
Brenda big hugs to you. I read this and I am crying so hard for you and I know how hard it is to lose our fur babies.
Abi was waiting for him on the other side of the rainbow bridge and they are no longer in pain.
Love and prayers for you.
Brenda. I am so very sorry for your loss of your sweet Charlie. I have had to do the same for a beloved soul and know what love it took for you to let him go peacefully so he wouldn’t be in pain. I am so very sorry. I have no doubt that you will miss him, but know that he is free from pain. Take good care.
Brenda, I am so sorry. My heart breaks for you. Glad that you have sweet Ivy to give you comfort in this time of loss.
Oh no, Brenda! I am so sorry and heartbroken for you. I’m not ashamed to admit that I am sitting here with tears running down my cheeks.
You made the best decision for him and for you. I’m positive that Abi was waiting for me.
Gentle and healing hugs! Love and enjoy Ivy Lou!
Brenda, I’m so sorry to hear that you had to make the hardest decision anyone could ever be faced with. Your own bravery and your love for your sweet boy has stopped his struggle and he’s now at peace and you will be soon. Never did a dog have a better life. Take the time you need to grieve and try to think of the love you and Charlie shared and not just the sadness of yesterday. Much love to you.
I am so sorry for your loss.
I am so so sorry for your loss. I know how much you loved your sweet Charlie and most importantly he knew too. Praying for you in the days ahead.

He was such a dear boy, a buddy and a comfort for all of the years you shared. I know the overwhelming feelings of loss and missing a dear friend such as Charlie. You have my condolences, Brenda.
There are many of us who know exactly the pain you are going through right now. Please know we are holding you in our hearts right now as you grieve. Sending love and peace.
Oh my dear Brenda, I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Charlie Ross. I know yesterday was extremely difficult and heartbreaking for you. Please know that you did the very best for him throughout his life with you, and in the final gift of releasing him from his pain and suffering. He was such a special boy. Small in stature but big in personality! Loved seeing his pictures and hearing about him. I have no he is at the rainbow bridge with Abi. Sending love and hugs as you feel the grief.
Sorry for your loss 🙏🏿💕💕
They bring us such JOY, then when we have to let go, its indeed very painful-we all feel for you Brenda-RIP charlie dog!! Abi is there for sure by his side!
I am so sorry.
Dear Brenda, so sorry for the loss of your dearest Charlie Rose. You gave him a wonderful life. Now take care of yourself during this very sad time.
Susan
I am so very sorry. He’s not hurting or trying hard to breathe now. If they could talk they would tell us when they are tired of living. You gave him so much devotion and continued caring love throughout that he knows he had a good life every day with you.
Brenda, I can’t tell you how sorry I am to hear of Charlie’s passing! My heart breaks for you! I have lost several dear pets and it is always so hard to go through! Your precious memories of him will keep him alive forever! My thoughts and prayers are with you!
So sorry, Brenda. I know how much you loved him, and how much you will miss him. Our pets give us so much love and devotion, but their lives are too short.
I am so, so sorry for your loss. I did the same for my sweet yorkie, Dixie, last year. Heartbreaking, but the best to stop her suffering. Our babies are forever in our hearts.
I feel for you, Brenda…
I can’t help but shed a tear now as when I started subscribing in your blog, I started knowing Charlie as well.
Rest in peace, Charlie…no more pains…
Brenda: My ache aches for you & I send you hugs & hope that you can take some comfort in knowing that Charlie is no longer in pain & is running free with Abi again. You were a wonderful mom to him & you did all anyone could do for him. It’s never easy to let them go, but there comes that time when we must say goodbye to them for their own sake. Sending you love.
Brenda I am sorry for your loss. They leave us much too soon. But we cannot let them suffer because we love them too much for that. My thoughts and prayers are with you dear friend.😭
Oh Brenda I’m so so sorry for your loss. I know how much you loved him and Abi and the loving care you gave both of them. I’m certain she was waiting for him. I know there is nothing I can say to make you feel better. Just know you are in my thoughts – take good care
Brenda,
Im so sorry to hear about your sweet baby. I know that he is in the loving arms of an angel in heaven. I know you are hurting but you were absolutely wonderful to him and gave him a wonderful life. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
