As a few of you have lose you loved pets recently I am having to make that dreaded phone call today. Our 9 yr old dog hasnt been well for a while. Hasn't eaten hardly a thing for 11 days, drinking ok though. Luckily he had fat to loose but you can see that he has lost weight. His ears are led flat on his head and eyes swinting. |

Do what you feel is right and what the vet advises Anne. Thinking of you it is a hard, brave decision to have to make. <3 |

My grown up children have twice told me to wait, but that is just because they can't let go of part of their childhood, but you have to consider the quality of life your dog is having and ignore everyone else ...thinking of you, and i do know how you feel today |

it's heartbreaking when you have to make that decision - over the years I've cried buckets over dogs - one in particular over sixty years ago still haunts me :-( <3 <3 |

He is still with us, had painkillers today and a small scan they fitted him in as a emergency so has to go back tomorro for another scan and take it from there. |

I had a lovely dog for 14 years and was very well loved by my children. My children were hysterical when we had to put her down. That was 25 years ago and vowed never ever to get another dog. We did get another baby and that was 6 years ago when she was 8 weeks. All my children now grown up and gone, but still Boo is part of there life as they look after her when I go away. My grandkids love her so really back to where we were. A pet is for life and if you can keep them for life you are a perfect pet owner. Feeling for you Anne xx |

It is so painful to lose them, but that reflects the joy and companionship, and everything else they have given us, and I hope we have given them. |

Patch's test werent good, he had two masses one 12 cm in his small intestines and another mass in his spleen. He has never been ill only this last 10 days. He was a solid dog (staffie) that went to nothing in less then a week. The vet said there are sometime no side effects illnessess with masses until the end. |

I'm so sorry to hear your news, but it sounds like it really was time to say goodbye, and your instincts had sadly been right. |
