Shirley im so so sorry to hear about Mirabelle.....she will always be with you in your hearts <3 <3

Mr M.... <3 xx <3

We put our Ella to rest a month ago after 17+ years.

Thinking of you all.

I'm sorry for your loss Shirley, you did the right thing and that is what our pets ( who are our family also) deserve for sharing their lives and their unconditional love with us.

You did the best thing Shirley, been there and done that and understand how hard it's been and have an inkling of how you feel right now.

Well she didnt have a good day yesterday . was puking and staggered a few times when she got up . Didnt eat all day , was interested in the ham sandwich hubby had in the evening and ate a few bits of ham he gave her Most part of the day she slept .

We made the difficult decision yesterday to let her go before she got more unwell . Think she knew because this morning for the first time in a couple of weeks she came upstairs and got on the bed between hubby and I .she stayed there too when I got up but did eventually come down and got on my lap for a cuddle and snooze

Think she was saying her goodbyes

The vet nurse was very good getting me to ring in every half hour to see how many they still had waiting to be seen so I didnt have to sit a wait for my turn to come

We went to the vet around 10.45 and went more of less straight in . The vet was wonderful she said we were very brave in making the right decision for her and I held mirabelle as the injection was given .

Tears all round . the vet nurse and the senior vet nurse and the vet all had the weeps and the vet even came to give me a big hug and said you will be OK . We will miss you not coming in every day but you have done the right thing for her

Been crying on and off all day .Its VERY HARD losing a much loved pet

So a bit long winded and probably too much info but needed to talk about it

Hubby said when I got home WE arent doing this anymore its too stressful and you get too upset

Please dont post the Rainbow Bridge poem anyone as its too painful at the moment

Thanks for all the caring posts you folks have given in the past about our little girl

Shirley <3 <3

It is a horrible place to be in Shirley, only you will know by a look from your precious Mirabelle when she asks for your help :-( <3 <3

I will be thinking of you <3

I do know what you are all saying and our vet has been marvelous .she is very honest and upfront and tells it as it is .

She is saying now the time is getting very short when I have to say enough is enough, she certainly wont let us keep going if if isnt in mirabelles best interest .

I do know its nearly that time but every day that Mirabelle seems to be happy and has a very good hold on life that includes grooming herself coming on my lap for her cuddles . or keeping us company over night on the bed makes you wonder if she really wants to say I have had enough

its a very difficult position to be in right now . We want to love her for as long as possible whilst not being selfish for her and saying darling you have had enough
so go on your way

Bloody awful place to be in at the moment :-( :-(

So sorry to hear this Shirley, but as you say she is having more frequent off days than good.....Unfortunately no one can make that decision but you and yours.......

Maybe it is the time to love her even more and let her pass without pain and without discomfort.....



<3 <3

Oh dear Shirley.........you have done your absolute best for her, but it sounds as if it is time to love her enough to let her go :-) :-)

It's a horrendous decision to make I know, but as Gwyn says, have a chat with the vet.

Ask them what they would do if she were their pet. <3

Shirley

I do feel for you and your family as you come to this decision.

You've done your very best to keep Mirrabelle going, when all seemed lost and she has obviously rallied well, but sadly it seems that her body is now not so able to fight her cause.
Will be thinking of you in the days ahead and hope your pet is as comfortable as possible.
