That is sad glamma but you couldn't wish for a more peaceful end for him.

Ah so sorry Glamma that is sad news. But you rescued him and gave him 5 loving years he may otherwise not have had, he died peacefully which (when a pet has to "go") is the perfect way flowers

soop - you are a star wine

Oh Glamma. So sorry to hear about Barney. Thankfully he died peacefully in his sleep, a happy dog with a loving family.

I know how you feel though as our dog Bobby had to be put to sleep last June but it still seems like yesterday. I miss him so much and still expect to see him lying in his favourite spots around the house.

I'm very sad for you glamma. At least you were spared the dreadful decision that us dog lovers sometimes have to take and his ending was peaceful, although that isn't much comfort to you at the moment.

Big (((hugs))) for you.

glamma Such sad news. Thankfully Barney shared five marvellous years with you and the family. He will have died peacefully. Do you have a very clear, well defined photo of Barney? If so, I would like to attempt to do a wee watercolour painting of him [as a gift.] smile

Oh glamma, I'm so sorry to hear about Barney. You'll have enhanced his life so much for the past 5 years though, bless him. xx

Oh, glamma I'm so sorry to hear about your lovely Barney. It's that time we dog lovers all dread happening, and hope will happen peacefully. He was there with you at home, which I hope is some consolation. Poor love xx flowers

((((hugs)))) glamma. It's always sad when an old friend dies isn't it. I'm sure he had a wonderful final 5 years of his life.

Everyone knows about my JR Barney and how he came to us rescued from the dog pound 5+yrs ago we have just this morning found him in his basket and he had died in his sleep,we are so so upset but look back on his last years as a bonus to us and to him a most faithful friend one could ever wish to meet.
