Sad day today

[Dave1419]

Never a good time to lose any pet---and making the decision to have the dog put down is one of the worst things in life----we have had to do it many times over the years and its never easy----get yourself another one Alex---it really will help------Dave

I know how you're feeling, Alex...

Me and the wife are cat lovers and have lost a few over the years. One in particular attached herself to me and when age caught up with her and kidney failure meant it was time to let her go. It was my job to take her to the vets one last time. When I got back in the car with her empty box I blubbed like a baby. I couldn't believe it but just like other members have said....They become family.

I fully agree with Marko (there's a first!)
We had a beautiful Siamese/Ragdoll cross called Frank. This is him practicing his favourite sport of banister surfing:

18 months ago he was knocked down in the road at the top of our drive by a driver who didn't stop. Although a neighbour ran to our door to tell us, when I got there he was obviously dead. We still miss him even though he was a pain the arse sometimes. They really do get under your skin, so sympathies to you Alex.

Unfortunately it's came time to put down our beloved pet.
He's a black Labrador aged 13 and due to many ailments like arthritis, kidney problems etc... His life has to be cut short. We do this with a very heavy heart
Been one of the best friends I've ever had, truly loyal companion.
May take some time to recover from loosing a big part of our family but we know it's better for him as his wellbeing is more important than our feelings.

Sorry to hear that Alex. We have only a week ago had to say goodby to our little dog, It's getting easier but will take time.

Definitely a sad day. Sorry to hear that bud, like everyone says, they become part of the family. We have 2 cats and a dog and even though I like the cats(well, really only one of them), I dread the day we need to part with our dog more. He is such a character and always raises laughter as he's really clumsy and silly. He and the male cat are best buds which people find odd because of the size difference. Hope you feel better about it soon, a hard decision but well done for doing the best thing, although it's not easy

Sorry to hear your news Alex at times like that you console yourself with the thought your pal is no longer suffering all the best mate

All the Best

I know what you mean I was crying and holding him as he went wife too, took a good 30-40mins to compose myself

Yeah, I heard him jump up as I was walking past the foot of the stairs and just happened to have the phone set to camera. He also used to jump across the gap - gave us heart attacks every time, but he never slipped!
