THIS Kind of Goodbye Is Different...Why Is It SO Hard For Us To Lose A Pet? Just Being Transparent.

  • I hated making this video...in fact, I wasn't sure I would even post it. But I decided a while back that I was going to be transparent about everything on our channel. The truth is that we are emotionally devastated right now and theres NO way to hide that from you guys. We had to say one of the HARDEST goodbyes to our furbaby, Tutu. Despite her age, we weren't ready to let her go and her extremely unfortunate prognosis came faster than we could handle. If you're an animal lover, or if you've gone through this before, then I'm sure you know exactly how we're feeling right now. So, while I want to continue with the vacation and planning videos, I had to hit pause on that content to grieve the loss of our girl. We will get back to the content you came for soon...but right now, in this moment, I just want to let you know where our hearts are at. Thank you all for understanding and for the compassionate comments I already know you're going to leave. R.I.P "Toots" 6/11- 1/18/24
    If you feel called to make a tax deductible donation to help give another animal a second chance on behalf of Tutu here is a local shelter where you can do that. Dorchester paws operates on 25% county funding and 75% donations. Thank you so much.

    It took a lot for me to finish watching this, Ashley, because it hits so close to home. We had to say goodbye to several cats over the last 6 years. My old guy has been gone for 4 years, and there's not a day that goes by that I don't miss him.
    We spent 1000s on one of our cats and the vets had no idea what was wrong with one of out cats.
    Another one of our cats, Paws, was a feral cat we took in. She developed feline leukemia. She was a fighter, but it eventually took her.
    So I understand your pain. I wish I could say it gets easier quickly, but your going to miss her for a long time.
    But please don't feel guilty. You did what had to be done for her. She's in a better place, no longer suffering. No pain. As painful as it was, you did the right thing.
    ❤❤❤

      I knew you all would understand. I'm so sorry for bringing back those heavy emotions. The toughest part with cats, and most pets, is that they hide their pain SO well so that we don't worry....but here we are, completely unhinged without them around. We just don't deserve them...but I hope we get to see them again someday on the other side of this bridge everyone talks about. Thank you for sharing this grief with us...sometimes I think you all are better than therapy 💞

They're definitely not alone and definitely free of the pain in this world now. Sending all our love xoxo

I keep looking for her to follow me into the kitchen...or to see a glimpse of her little tail running out of the room when she had the zoomies. Its going to be a huge adjustment with all of these memories we have. But I wouldn't trade those memories for all the money in the world. Hold onto them! They're all we have until we see them again one day. Thank you for sharing this grief with us. BIG hugs! 💞

    I am SO sorry. I completely understand. I had a medical emergency myself in December of 2014 and had to be in the hospital for weeks and during that time our kitty Zoe (15 years) was diagnosed with cancer. I couldn’t even be with her when we had to let her go. So sad for myself, my husband and my daughter. It’s not fair. My thoughts and prayers are with you

    • @battlegroundbiscuits
      @battlegroundbiscuits  6 месяцев назад +1

      Oh that breaks my heart for you...and for Zoe. I have heard that if you keep your heart open with pets they'll send you signs that they're ok. A couple days ago I was introduced to a woman I've never met that felt compelled to send her sympathy. She was asking us about Tutu and I shared that we called her Toots, or Tooty sometimes. To both of our surprise, she also calls her daughter Toots and Tooty for short. It was definitely a moment we weren't expecting but that I was so thankful for. I hope you've been able to receive some of those signs over the years since she left our world. Its really not fair that they can't be with us forever...but they will always be with us in our hearts. Big hugs to you and your family! Thank you for sharing our grief. Much love!

    I’m so sorry. ❤️ Last February we went on our 2nd Disney cruise, our first 7 night and on our first port day I got the news that my grandmother passed away. I couldn’t help but be dissociated the rest of the cruise. Then we came home and our boy cat Sammy was breathing weird and in less than 2 weeks and $1k later in tests and trying to save him, he passed away from FIP. He was only 4 years old. All of our animals are shelter pets or rescues. It was so heartbreaking, then less than a month later my grandpa passed as well. It was a very hard few months. Sending love and prayers.

    I am so verrrry sorry for your loss, we just had to put our Little Sunshine to sleep two weeks ago for almost the same thing. She had the hyperthyroidism but kept losing weight. My vet said it looked like it may be kidney cancer. My Sunshine was over 15 years old and she seemed like she was telling me it was time. Don't feel guilty you gave her a great life and lots of love. She obviously loved you...😢

      RIP sweet Sunshine 😭 I love that name. I bet she was an absolute ray of light. I'm so very sorry you're going through this too. And, yes, every year we took Toots in for her check up I was waiting for them to tell me her kidneys were failing. Thats usually the case with hyperthyroidism and all that medication. But hers were fine, surprisingly...it was her heart that wasn't healthy. We were totally caught off guard and mentally unprepared for that. She must have been hiding it really well.

We are emotionally SPENT after last week but we are taking it one day at a time and getting adjusted to holding her in our hearts instead of our arms. You have all been holding our spirits high through this and I am forever grateful. Thank you again to our favorite "Biscuiteers" from the bottom of our hearts. I mean it. 💞

    Marlers, I am so sorry for not only your loss but having to make such a decision to begin with. It is never easy. My Toby passed away about 10yrs ago and it was a huge loss. I was so thankful for the support around me when it happened. It’s such a special bond when you have a fur baby that watched you grow and then they part. I agree, they should be immortal. But we can think of Coco and know that we’ll meet them again as alebrijes when we cross the marigold/rainbow bridge. Sending you all tight hugs ❤

I'll never say it happened at a good time but....it didn't happen at the worst time, for sure. I just hate it all. I want my baby back. We are all trying to adjust around here, including Donut.

We actually returned from a WDW vacation and 2 days later had to say goodbye to her. It was extremely sudden and really knocked us down. She had been with us for 10 years, even before we had our kids. It is never easy to say good bye and it always hits you harder than you think it will. Take the time you need to be sad and grieve.

    So so sorry for the loss of your fur baby! I had to make the difficult decision in March 2023 to let go of my sweet Maisey. She was 14 years old and I spent the last year of her life trying to nurse her back to health and her poor, old body just couldn’t take it anymore. I had her from the time she was an 8 week old puppy. I was 24 when I got her and 37 when she died. Man, we lived so much life together. The loss of her is still one of the greatest loses of my life and I still struggle with not having her here. Pets mean so much to us and are such a big part of our lives. When they go, it feels like an empty wound that never fully heals. Take time to grieve. It took me a very long time until I could speak about Maisey and not breakdown. Now, I’m happy that when I think of her or see pictures, my strongest emotion is happiness with seeing her or speaking about her, but there’s always a bit of sadness there too. Take care and my thought are with your family.

      Thank you so much for sharing this...Its exactly what I needed to hear right now. I felt all of that! I know time will heal some of that pain but pets take up so much of our hearts when we share SO much life together...and its never really the same when that space is empty. Making that decision to say goodbye is one of the hardest I've ever had to make and I did NOT feel qualified to make it. It sounds like Maisey lived an entire lifetime full of love from the very start. What a lucky girl she was. You have to believe she hung on that long for you...Pets will hide their pain forever just so we don't worry. They're selfless like that. Thank you so much for sharing that with us...it means so much that we can all share in this grief together and know we will make it with each others support. Much love to you!

      @battlegroundbiscuits you guys take some time to rest and heal. Losing a furbaby is like losing a family member. Just know you have our support. A phrase a dear friend once taught me is just not today. Thank you for your kindness and for the hard to make video.

    The unfortunate part of being a responsible pet owner is having to make these hard decisions for the ones we care about. It’s obvious that you gave your cat a loving home and she’s so fortunate to have had this lifetime with you and your family. Part of being strong is reaching out for support when you need it, and I’m glad you had the courage to be transparent with your grief. The internet can be such a hateful place, but I hope you feel the love and support here in your comments section.

    I just had to put my 11 years old dog down on new years day night. He had a mass that was bleeding into his chest and would need a transfusion and major surgery. No guarantees and cost would start at $4 to $5 thousand dollars. I know what you are going through and my heart breaks for you 💔. I had lost my other dog when he was over 10 in 2021. The 2 of them were best friends. Hang in there. It's hard, but be strong.

      oh wow....I'm so so sorry to hear that. 😩 You know EXACTLY how this feels don't you...I guess one of the things to remember is that they were best friends and they're reunited now. They'll all be waiting for us. Thank you for sharing this with us...I know its not easy to relive the pain. Much love!

    So sorry for your loss. Last year we had a difficult time when our dog got very sick overnight. We faced the same issue with money and treatment and spent as much as we could. We had to explain to our kids that it wasn’t fair to put her through more pain. It wasn’t easy. I journaled every time I it became overwhelming. I printed collages for my kids to put in their rooms. It is never easy. Pets are family and show us nothing but love. I think videos like this help, we aren’t alone when we go through loss.

    • @battlegroundbiscuits
      @battlegroundbiscuits  6 месяцев назад

      I'm so sorry to hear about your sick pup...thats heartbreaking. I wish we didn't have to make those decisions but I'm also thankful that we get to show them one final act of compassion at the end. You're completely right. They don't deserve to suffer and its much easier on them to leave this world with some dignity and peace. I like the journaling idea...The grief is SO heavy sometimes, even days afterwards. I imagine it will feel this way for a while. I almost feel like these videos are my journal at times when I share these things with you all. Its saving me a ton on therapy so thank you lol...but seriously, I appreciate you sharing this here and for offering your kind words. It means so much to us!

    Sweet Ashley, Tim & Story: Know you are all in my heart and soul and I feel your immense sadness & Pain. Last Tuesday, we had to say Farewell to our sweet tiger tabby, Dexter who was part of our Fox Family since February 16th, 2007 for Ryan’s 11th birthday. We also lost our Beloved Maya, 20 in late 2019 who we had since 1999 when Ryan was 3…he will be turning 28 next month. Lap of Love (there’s one in Charleston sweetie) helped compassionately with his passing over…I’d be on the floor without that in home service. Since then, my heart is completely broken as he was a Mommas boy and as they all do, Loved us unconditionally. I cry at least twice a day and miss his little face around every corner of the house. He definitely took a piece of my heart with him. The 3rd cat loss in 37 years but the only boy and man, was he the sweetest of all. All I can tell you is when it’s Tutu’s time, give her as many hugs and kisses as humanely possible and later, take your grief and loss one day at a time. It’s all we really have in this world anyways. We will be moving to Vegas by years end and selling the house this summer. I can’t wait as his memories surround me. Time will help ease all of our Pain but these fur babies will never ever depart from our hearts/daily lives. So you go ahead and cry all you want as Heaven is listening and will take the Best Care of our babies until our reunion at The Rainbow Bridge on the other side. Check out www.lapoflove.com and click on Dexter…in the memorials and you’ll see him and Ryan from Feb 2007. Know that our Grief is shared and no doubt among so many other pet owners around the World. We are all together and will never abandon the memories of our Amazing Furry Friends. Tons of Hugs to you all and Prayers for the difficult days and decisions that lie ahead. Much Love from Colorado…Ann & Family 😥🐈🌼

      Oh my goodness, Ann....Dexter was BEAUTIFUL. I see he loved sitting under the Christmas tree. So did Tutu 😻 What a sweet memorial...I have never heard of Lap of Love so thank you SO much for sharing this. This is such a wonderful alternative than taking these babies to the vet. Don't get me wrong...the staff at our vets office was absolutely incredible and soooo compassionate. I couldn't have asked for better angels to help us transition her. But I already know that when its Donuts time to go it will be a high stress environment for her. I will definitely be looking into this when that time comes.
      I can completely understand that feeling of wanting to remove yourself from all of the memories that surround you in your home. I am clinging to the memories right now but some moments its just too much. I have been looking for ways to change my environment these past few days just to find some emotional relief. I know time is the best medicine but not having control over that is a struggle. We love her and miss her so much. Thank you so much for sharing your grief with us...its SUCH a heavy feeling to hold onto. I'm glad we have each other to carry the weight. But I heard someone once say that grief is just love with no where to go...and I feel that so much. We have so much love for these babies and they'll never be forgotten. Much love to you all!

    No no no DONT feel guilty for your fur baby operation and cost….my dog left us at 13 and I had to realize it was her time…most of us can’t afford these vet bills….it was her time and I’m sure she didn’t want to live on daily pills…RiP kitty…I am sorry…

    • @battlegroundbiscuits
      @battlegroundbiscuits  6 месяцев назад

      You're not wrong at all...I just love her so much that my grief was clouding the reality that I couldn't save her...and that money can't buy time. Even if I had the money it may not have even helped. Pets just have to leave us when its their time and its a sad reality I hate to admit...especially with such strong connection to them. I'm sorry about your pup...I bet she was a good girl and knew you loved her too. Thank you so much for sharing your love for her here and for your support. Its hard for all of us!
