Putting A Family Dog Down

Bleeding awful, have been involved several timez in my life so far and it duz not get any better.

We have a Rotty aged 12, pet/guard dog who has been under the weather for some time now, we have had the vet to the house quite a few times in the last year who has been a great help, a real caring person who kept a good eye on pooch.
We asked the vet to give his professional opinion when 'HE' considers we must do the right thing by pooch which unfortunately is today.

Awaiting vet to come out.

We are gutted

Maybe I have not put this very well, sod it.

Unfortunately had to cuddle three of my dogs while they were put to sleep, it's utterly gutting and the final thing you can do for them.

Is a terribly sad and agonising time... you have to give them every chance but if they are really suffering and only getting worse then if you don't do something then you are just prolonging their misery.

For anyone who has just lost a pet, Google

"Rainbow Bridge" it could give you some comfort!

If any one reads it, please let me know your thoughts.

Unfortunately, after another vet examination on the Rottwelder earlier on we did not have any alternative but to take his professional advice.
The big black bear has gone to the big kennel in the sky, he will be cremated and next week, the gardener will prepare a deep hole and bury the casket.
A new apple or pear tree will mark the spot.
We already have 2 caskets in the study, I think they should all go in hole together, we will see.

We are all sad but did the right thing.

Our thanks go to a fabbo caring vet.

Incidentally, the father of this vet operated on my first hernia, years later he came to me in hospital after seeing my name and asked me to allow his juniors to examine me.
4 years ago I met him in Spain, retired.

Funny old world

I cried when I held my beloved Westie for the last time.
Small consolation was the beautiful mounted photo of her in her prime and lovely casket which reminds us of her free spirit e every day.
She lived a very long life (15 years) to the absolute full , accompanying us to Land's End and the Cairngorms in Scotland.
We were blessed.
Our latest little Westie is an opposite character so there are no comparison.

I'm sad for you Stormee.....and for everyone else who has lost a pet.
They are members of the family and the grief is very real when one dies.

I actually finished with my first real love when he showed no sympathy after my pet dog had to be put down....he was so uncaring my feelings for him changed.
Who wants to be saddled with a man who doesn't understand the bond between humans and animals.

Sorry for your loss, Storm X
As you already know, you've done the kindest thing

I once went out with a Farmers Daughter, hot days in the barley fields were something else. Walking home one night she kicked one of the Farm cats, that was the end of that romance!

When I was a whippersnapper my dad got me a kitten, he named it Cooking Fat, I think that is the name he called it when he tripped over it.
