We lost our little poodle yesterday. He had a stroke on Wednesday and lost the use of his back legs.

We contacted a vet, an 'angel' who specialises in euthanasia and she came yesterday so we could let him go without pain and fear.

He came into our lives when we were in a dark and frightening place having been estranged by our youngest son. He brought love, peace and joy into back our lives and was there for us during our darkest hours.

He was white and I called him my little angel without wings.
Now he's gone and has become my little angel with wings.

It's a different sort of grief, to lose a beloved pet.
Thinking of you, Smileless, and other GNs.
Beautiful poem dotpocka.

So sorry Smileless 💐

I’m so sorry for your loss xx
I know from experience how difficult it is to lose a beloved pet, I think I’ve cried more for some pets than I have for some members of my family who have passed. Animals just want to please, they bring such love and comfort when we need it most.

Hang on to the memories 🤗

Hope you're doing ok today smileless, though i know you're probably not at all.

Although I don’t have a dog I am sure you must miss it as did my neighbours who now have another dog.

DamaskRose Sun 03-May-26 17:39:02

I’m so sorry Smileless. It’s so hard to lose a pet who has meant so much at a difficult time. We’ve been through this numerous times with dogs and cats and it never gets any easier. Be kind to yourselves. flowers

Sorry to hear of your sad loss. 🌹

I really do understand. Alf had a pulmonary embolism end of March. I really was in a dark place as I lost him and husband all in 7 months.
I decided it was now or never and have my 10 week old pup. He is hard work but as you say an angel in disguise.
I wish Alf had died at home but we were on the way to the vet’s as he was still alive on the way and they did cpr. But they were soo kind. And now he’s buried in my friend’s lovely woodland garden- next to her old cat Percy.

I lost my Pippin (my beloved) 3 years ago last month and I still cry when I think/talk about her, so I dont. But I like to think she's with her "sister" Florence, who died 7 months exactly before her, (both on 21st). There was 6 months between them and they were hardly ever apart.

Dogs get under your skin, they love you for you, no matter what. The only downside is they don't live long enough.

You have my sympathy

I’m so sorry your little dog had to leave you xxx

Smileless2012 I'm so sorry for your loss. The lives of our dogs are so short but the love and comfort they can give in difficult times is beyond words. You were able to let him leave the world gently which is such a blessing.
