Goodbye, Millie.

This morning we had to say goodbye to our lovely little Jack Russell, Millie. She had defied the vet's prognosis by seven months and I'm sure it was because she knew how much I needed the special comfort that only she could give.

Yesterday though she told me it was time for her to go so I made the call that every dog owner dreads.

RIP little friend and thank you for twelve years of love and fun. We're really going to miss you XX

Sending you a hug and total understanding. Small paws take up a lot of space in our hearts x

So sorry Merlot. Millie will always have a place in your heart and will not be forgotten. (We lost Jessy, cat, not dog, 10 years ago this week. She was such a good friend in her 16 years on this earth).

Merlot, you have my total sympathy. This year I have lost three uncles, two cousins, a friend and then my beloved Mum. We had to make the call to the vet in October for one of my cats who had also defied all prognoses by several months. It was just the final straw, although the last act of kindness we could give him. The price we pay for loving eh? My heart goes out to you xx

So sorry. Hope you feel better soon.

So sad to hear about Millie.

It is always a heart wrenching time when one of our beloved pets go. Everyone of them loving and loyal to the last with their own way of being part of the family.

I still have the ashes of our last dog, years later but I still can’t let go of him just yet.

My heart goes out to you Merlot

So sorry merlot to hear about Millie. Most difficult decision, but the kindest one we can make for them. We know when they look into our eyes when they are tired.

Such a sad time for you

Millie was obviously a super little dog

We've had to say goodbye to far too many dogs over the years

It's just heartbreaking

So sorry merlotgran I know just how you feel. Lost one of my girls not so long ago. You did the kindest thing for her because you loved her. Sending hugs

I am very sorry for your loss. Dear heaven, the pain losing a beloved pet is awful because I just lost my beloved cat Arabella and I am still crying. Losing a pet is really only understood by people that have been through it.
Big hug.
