My thoughts are with you all - it is dreadful - been through it a few times - you lose a member of the family - only consolation you have given them a good life and said goodbye with compassion.
Our dog is 15 next week and we know the day will come. Take care - remember the love and laughter you had.

sending you a ((((hug)))) ,love m&m

Sorry to hear your sad news. In time, the hurt and guilt of having to do the "dirty deed" will go away, and you will be able to accept that it was the right decision for Timber.

I had to do it 11.1/2 years ago with my old labrador. Now I have an 11 year old Newfoundland, who is doing well but with arthritis setting in so I may have to make the same decision over the next 6 months or so. I also have an 8.1/2 year Newfoundland bitch with a heart condition (since she was 3.1/2) and we can't believe she is still with us. Hopefully she will still be with us a few more years to come (even though 9 is average), but I worry that when the older one has to go, she will pine so much. She loves company and will be left on her own, so I will have to bear that in mind too.

I'm not looking forward to it, but like you, we have to make choices which are right for our beloved pets.

My thoughts are with you, your family & other pets.

(((hugs)))

Bless. I know how you feel. It hurts so much doesn't it? If anyone says "It's only a dog!" then slap them!!

You take care. Hugs.

Know how you're feeling sweetheart - we had to have our Geordie put down about four weeks ago - he was suffering - and it's so hard to come to terms with.

Sheila,
KNow how you feel, it was 5 years since we lost our Tim, A very hard desision to make, even though we have another dog she looks at us as if to say I know Uncle Tim did this or that.
Take care and in time you will remember all the good times.
And the tears will flow and some one will say ( its only a dog ) and you will feel hurt because they dont understand how you feel.
.

Sheila, so sorry to hear about this. A hard decision for you but the right one for Timber. You will miss him I'm sure, pets are so much a part of the family.

((hugs))

Oh Sheila, I am so sorry for your loss. The right decisions are sometimes so hard to make, aren't they?

Night night, Timber.

I feel for you Sheila, it's not easy and not long since I went through the same agony.

He was obviously very loved and had the best home with you. Focus on the positive. Take care.

so sorry shelia xxxxx

This morning we had to have our beloved dog, Timber, put to sleep. He has not been well for some months now and I'm amazed that he lasted as long as he did - a real Stoic! However there comes a time when you just know his life has lost its spark, and you have to do the kindest thing.

Goodnight sweetheart,

'Mum' xxxxxx
