Saying goodbye to my do, Eisenhower, was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.
He was so much more than just a dog.. he was my best friend. My son..a very part of my heart and soul.
Eisenhower didn't like going to the vet. He didn't like going in the car for very long either.
Hos health started to have some issues a couple of months ago..i took him to the vet multiple times, as well as a specialist. But they couldn't find anything.
When his health deteriorated so quickly in a span of 24-48 hours, I had to make a decision. It became clear he wasn't going to get better.
As hard as this whole process is, Dr. Jennifer Dykstra made it somehow bearable. She was incredibly kind and understanding.
She was very sweet with eisenhower and she made us all feel comfortable.
She helped my best friend pass to the rainbow bridge. As devastating as it's been, I am so grateful for how much at peace eisenhower was. God answered my prayers in letting eisenhower go gently into heaven. I have never cried more in my life, and I still am everyday. It will take me a long time to ever "be ok", but I am so grateful that we were able to do this at home, in the comfort of his favorite place, surrounded by favorite people. But most of all, I am grateful for the serenity and relief that my Eisenhower was able to receive. My boy is running around at the rainbow bridge without any pain.
Thank you to CodaPet and Dr. Dykstra for your compassion. You helped the most precious thing in the world to me during his final moments, and I will forever be grateful for that.
