So many of us understand this feeling as we have lost loved ones to dementia, such a slow ,sad fading of people we love and the loss of a pet that has been part of our lives.
Today I have made the decision to make the dreaded call to the vet.16 years ago I took on 2 pups.Ginty had a stroke a month ago and now Molly is fading fast.They have been with me through my son's wedding,birth of my grandson,their move abroad,my divorce , the loss of my parents and only sister and my retirement!
Every day they have been part of me and been by my side for the ups and downs of life, a constant stream of love and amusement when things got grim.The house is not the same without Ginty and will be so empty when she goes.They leave a huge hole in our lives when they go and anyone who has had an animal for so many years knows how hard it is.
