Heartbroken

so sorry ttgran

Yes, it’s such a shame that our precious pets have such a short life span. They’re not with us for many years but however long, parting with them is still heartbreaking.

I’m so sorry I still get upset and miss our naughty Jack Russell he was wonderful. I look at photos of him cry because I miss him then laugh about the naughty things he did.
I was telling my GD about him the other day how he used to steal the chocolate tree decorations off the Christmas tree!
I always say our pets don’t live long enough x

to ttgran and to all who have had to have their beloved pets put to sleep.

Thinking of you ttgran and HPQ it's so hard to make that decision for our pets. It is the last act of kindness but oh so sad to let them leave. They will always have a place in your heart.

I'm so sorry ttgran for you and everyone who has recently lost their wonderful pet companion. It's what we all dread.

Sending you a hug ttgran. It's the last kind, responsibility to your companion. I miss my old cat every day but her life had become so difficult for her it was the best thing.

Had to have my beautiful cat Amie put to sleep in August. Not well then vet said she had multiple tumours . I’d only had her 4 years she was only 9. I feel for you so much I have a huge lump in my throat writing this it’s a terrible thing to have to go through

Thinking of you this evening, you did the right thing . 🌼🌺

Thank you for your kind words I did question whether I should wait a few more weeks but that would have been for me not wanting him to go, looking at him with those brown eyes looking at me it was time to say goodbye
Thank you once again

I know just how you feel. We had our beautiful 16 year old border terrier put to sleep 2 weeks ago today. She simply couldn’t go one and had struggled for long enough, but I felt absolutely broken . We have her photos all around us and we now have her ashes back which is a comfort, but I would give anything to have her here with me now.

Sending you a heartfelt hug

So very sad to hear this news of your faithful Frasier. You will miss your boy so much. It was the kindness thing to do, but it’s not much consolation at this time. Thinking of you. 💐

ttgran Sorry to hear about your Frasier. You loved him and he was your friend. I always had cats but the sadness is the same. My boy died on our street, 14 months ago. I miss him still. x

My heart goes out to you. When we had to have our 16 year old rescue dog put to sleep I honestly thought my heart would break as she had been such a loving, wonderful dog. The hole she left will never be completely filled but we have another lovely rescue, completely different but fantastic in her own way. Be gentle with yourself and let yourself grieve, thinking of you. X

Oh I so know how you are feeling, I'm crying writing this. We had to put our gorgeous, gentle labrador to sleep 4 weeks ago. She was 13 and for a few weeks had been struggling to walk due to arthritis. For the first time in her life she didn't want to eat, and we knew then that she'd just had enough of struggling. It was the hardest decision to put her to sleep, but we knew she just couldn't go on and it was the kindest thing to do. We are all heartbroken and I just can't get used to such an empty house. Our pets have a special place in our hearts and we can take comfort knowing we gave and received love in buckets.

I'm so sorry for all who have been through this with their pets. Cats and dogs are family members. I have had to do this 3 times and it's a horrible decision to have to make. We do it out of love and compassion for their suffering.

Big hugs to all of you.

💐

I’m so sorry ttgran. Dogs are really members of the family and it’s heartbreaking when they leave us. I’ve been through it twice , both times we had to make that awful decision .
Thinking of you

It’s such a horrible decision to have to make, isn’t it? But you do it because you love them and don’t want them to suffer. I put it off for too long, twice, because it was so heartbreaking.
Sending you lots of sympathy, 💐 and xxx.

Our Border Collie was 16 and had heart failure. It was horrible for us but he was so ready to go. Life had just become too much for him.

I’m so sorry, ttgran. They leave a pet-shaped hole in your heart, don’t they?

Sorry, her collar

So sorry - I couldn’t sleep for days after. We had put a little bell on his collar, so we knew where he was at all times. I kept hearing this bell for days- still miss her 😢

I’m so very sorry. I and many others here know exactly what you’re going through. You did the right for Frasier and have prevented him suffering further. It’s so very hard to do even though we know it’s the right thing. Rest in peace Frasier, you well loved and faithful friend. May you be reunited with him when the time comes.

I too have just had my beautiful 15 year old dog put to sleep. A hard decision for me, but the right one for her. As my lovely vet said "this is the final act of kindness". She slipped off to sleep after we spent time with her, quietly, and feeding her handmade cheese dog biscuits made by the veterinary nurse. The house seems so quiet......
