That was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but it was also one of the most beautiful... to see God working in such a mighty way, proving Himself faithful and supporting me as no other could every step of the way. He had a reason and a plan... and he revealed it to me in His perfect time. He always does.<br /><br />Praying that you will find His strength and that peace that passes all understanding, dear.<br /><br />With love,<br />--KellieKelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05173990163000504566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070548252371980253.post-76013904113042070862012-05-26T13:01:50.531-04:002012-05-26T13:01:50.531-04:00Oh, Michaela I am so sorry to hear this!

I remember how thrilled you were when you first bought Nick, and it has been such a joy "seeing" him grow up bit by bit through the window that is your blog. It breaks my heart to read of him being euthanized . . . I can't imagine how much more it must break yours. Know that my prayers are with you and your family in this hard time, dear. HE is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. ♥<br /><br />Love you,<br />Elizabeth Rose<br /><br /><i>"Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted."</i> — Matthew 5:4Chloe M.

They become such an important and wonderful part of our lives. And I know Nick had a wonderful family to love him to pieces. <br /><br /> Cry it out. A lot. But don't dwell too much on today. I ended up having to write out all of what happened that day just to stop it from replaying over and over in my mind. Instead, remember all the wonderful times you had with Nick. God gave your little guy to you for a short but special time, and now he's in God's hands.<br /><br /> I've been praying for you and your family today. I love you guys. <3 You're in my prayers.

They are never "just animals" but completely and totally apart of the family. They take a place in your heart and hole onto it. I know you made the right decision for him. Even though I don't know you personally, I know from your posts and, even Facebook, what sort of young lady you are. I am sure that Nick had the best home possible and was surrounded by love and attention. <br />As an animal lover myself, I firmly believe in QUALITY of life versus quantity. Even in the short while you had him, he was loved by a multitude of people. God gives us critters in our lives to teach us about ourselves. <br />Hang in there. I will, as well a a whole bunch of others, will be praying for you and your family. <br />Lots of love! <br /><br />LindseyLindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12009494321375883956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070548252371980253.post-3235249511108087472012-05-25T22:56:45.509-04:002012-05-25T22:56:45.509-04:00I'm not a crying sort of person, but I teared ...I'm not a crying sort of person, but I teared up hearing and reading about this :( :( I am praying for you!!!<3 <3 I love animals soo much, so when I hear something such as this, my heart bleeds. :( God will get you through<3 <3Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13952216823933053919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070548252371980253.post-78943729846630389622012-05-25T22:46:04.249-04:002012-05-25T22:46:04.249-04:00Michaela I'm so sorry. i just want you to kno...Michaela I'm so sorry. i just want you to know that the LORD is coming back on a white horse.

Our furry ...I'm so sorry to hear this Michaela. Our furry friends have a way of capturing our hearts that goes beyond explanation. When Sue and I got married, my dog Panda was middle-aged and a few years later my mother had to put our dog down due to old age. Even though I hadn't had Panda living with me for a few years, it still ripped at my heart. <br /><br />You made a tough call but it sounds like there weren't any other good options. You gave him a great home and he was lucky to have you. We enjoy our pets as long as the Lord allows them to be a part of our lives and perhaps we leave a little bit of ourselves with them when they go. That's the nature of pet ownership though. <br /><br />For now, you cry for awhile. Maybe a long while, and then at some point perhaps another 4 legged friend is looking for a good home, if and when you're ready. <br /><br />Blessings, <br /><br />Jim K.Jim K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08201347957307829157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070548252371980253.post-38037404986250217162012-05-25T21:11:05.265-04:002012-05-25T21:11:05.265-04:00Oh Michaela....I'm so sorry. Just so sorry. I ...Oh Michaela....I'm so sorry. Just so sorry. I know how much it hurts. I've been there--had one kitty who literally died on my lap on the way to the vet. I wish we were closer so's I could give y'all hugs.<br /><br />I have one piece of advice--get another puppy immejate. Really. I learned to do this with cats. Like, when the kitty who died on my lap died, I got new kittens the next day. I wasn't impressed with them and told Heather drearily that they were cute an' all, but I missed my Binxus Kitty so much and just wanted her back. Two days later, the new little guys had wrapped their fuzzy paws onto my heartstrings and brought back all the joy of kitty-ness. I still missed Binxus but it wasn't such sharp anguish and I began to enjoy the memory of her without all the pain.<br /><br />I dunno, maybe it isn't practical, but if it's at all practical, getting another pet post-haste can do such wonders and heal us.<br /><br />Regardless, I love y'all and you are in my prayers tonight!Raquelle S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18373255518630988632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070548252371980253.post-84224710495615122512012-05-25T20:59:23.163-04:002012-05-25T20:59:23.163-04:00awhhhh..
