Back at you BC <3 <3 <3 <3

Paula <3 <3 <3

Losing a much loved pet is heartbreaking but by ending her pain you have repaid her for the love and companionship she gave you. I hope your happy memories will get you through this sad time <3

So sorry to hear of this Paula, you have my heartfelt sympathy. I know how painful it is having to make that decision even though you know it's for the best.

Thank you everyone

Both my OH and I really do appreciate all your comments good wishes and pms .

So sorry to hear about your cat, Paula <3

We do so love and miss our 4-legged friends :-(

I've just read about your cat Paula- I'm so sorry. <3

It's very painful when we lose our animals. Mine (dog and cat) were like children to me. I lost both to cancer some time ago.

It's a real choker

thanks Liz x

Thank you all for your kindness. Rollo your words really touched my heart, I started to read to OH but cracked up before the end.

We buried Katie at the bottom of garden yesterday afternoon, its a lovely spot and she loved the garden. It was hard getting up this morning as our first priority was to feed Katie. I will move her things in time, but it still seems unreal, I think she will just come sashaying through the door.

Pain is the price we pay for loving

What lovely words, Rollo.

I am sorry you have had to make that dreadful decision to part with your cat Kate, Paula, having been through it myself on several occasions I can feel your pain. We have to do what is right for our beloved pets but it's very hard to let go and tho you know you are saving them pain and suffering there is still guilt in the decision.

I am sure your Katie will be with all the other loved pets that have gone ahead and are being fussed over by family members or those who love animals.

Sad too about your son's dog, Ann. There will be a very big gap in their lives for a long time.

I know how you feel, I am still very raw from the loss of my Jay boy. Why do we do it. We put ourselves through it because we are the good animal owners and love them more than we love ourselves. My heart goes out to you. <3 <3 <3 Elaine.

Been there got the t-shirt it's a hard place. I feel for you.
Here is something.

I could tell you that this silence
will long rub against your legs,
that the sound of the electric can opener
will long summon her shadow
to the kitchen . . .
I could tell you that every cat you see
and some you don't,
will scratch and mew at the door
of your memory . . .
But I won't mention these things,
because the claws of grief are sharp.
I will say instead that your cat
is curled up somewhere in a sun spot
waiting to hear you come home,
at which time she will put on
her old aristocratic act of indifference
to let you know that you did, after all,
take longer than the expected time . . .
But soon, in her arrogant but casual way
she will edge nearer, forgiving
your human ineptness,
allowing you to finally hold her
and scratch behind her ears
while she is purring purring purring
to welcome you home.

Oh Paula, I am so sorry to hear this news it is so sad when we lose our lovely pets. <3 <3

Paula, my heart goes out to you and how you are feeling right now. I went through it four weeks ago and he was my soul mate.

Please know that you did the kindest thing for her and you will always have happy memories. <3 <3 <3

She was 10 years old Paula, which is a good age for a large dog of her breed - she was in fact the last one of the litter to go - she had a weak heart and became very confused at the end and they were left no choice - they spent over £300 at the vet's a few days before, but it was to no avail. She and my cat were great pals - they got on so well together

So sorry Paula........its dreaful and heartbreaking,,,,,,we lost ours just two week ago and the house is so empty.but have a special place in the garden with her ashes.

Paula, I'm so sorry to hear your news. It's terrible to lose a much loved pet, and is something that we all dread.
Thinking of you, Lynda x <3

So sorry you have lost your little friend . I am sure those of us who have all had heartache of losing a much loved pet member of the family remember the pain of losing them .

They are so part of the family that it is heartbreaking when they get sick , especially sometimes when its so sudden and there's no time to say your goodbyes .

Am dreading losing our girl Mirabelle who is 16 plus and going a bit senile.

Ann sorry to hear about your sons dog, why was he put down?
