You are not a bad pet owner, and NONE of this is your fault. I can't even imagine what you must be going through. I'm so, so sorry. I wish I could do or say something to make it better. It just sucks.

Oh my goodness! When it rains it pours!
You are NOT a bad pet owner! You took them to the vet as soon as you knew something was wrong. I'm so sorry.

oh my goodness, I just read your entire OP and your second update- I am sooooo sorry to read the horrible news about your dogs!!
And do NOT feel guilty about your decisions, or think that you are at fault for 'missing' their symptoms, because you're NOT. Dogs and cats are so VERY good at hiding what's wrong because they're wired to be (in the wild it would be bad to show any sign of weakness or illness) that often we don't notice the changes until very late in their decline.
(((((BIG HUGS))))) to you and your kids...

NOOOOOOOOOO! ((((Jen)))) I don't even know what to say! I'm catching up on all of this at once. It's just too much. Our pets are our family. I would have chosen as you did. Our first dog, was our first "baby". We went to too many lengths to extend her life, and when I look back, it was a mistake. I would evaluate differently now.
I'm sending you and your family my deepest sympathy and best, warmest hugs.

You are not a bad pet parent. I'm just so sorry. I know you've got to feel overwhelmed, but just take one day at a time. One hour, one minute, if you have to.

You are not a horrible pet parent. Our furry babies get ill. You did your best and could have spent thousands of dollars treating your doggies who might not have healed anyway. There's a huge difference between saving a human and saving a beloved housepet. You did everything reasonable given the sucky situation.
(((((HUGS))))). Just (((((HUGS)))).

I feel like a horrible pet parent. (((hugs)))) You are not a horrible pet parent. You are loving and kind and caring and everything a pet should hope to have. I am truly so sorry that your pups are gone now. Please know that I am sure they were the happiest they could have ever been in their lives in your care. You were the reason those two souls smiled.

I am just sick for you. Two dogs. Your house is going to feel empty. I don't know what to say other than I am going to pray for you. When you are ready to feel a little better, think of all of the love they got that so many dogs just don't get.

Holy cow! What a huge emotional mess to deal with. I'm sure you are a bundle of emotions and memories right now.
BUT, you are an incredibly strong woman (and strong people have their less-than-strong moments) and you know in your heart that you did what was best.
Many many hugs to you. I know you will get through this.
