Today I had to make the hardest decision of my life and have my poor old lady put to sleep at the vet. I am absolutely distraught, dh couldn't stay in the room when they gave her the injection so I said I'd stay with her but she got a bit upset and bit the vet (she always was a biter) and I couldn't do it. I think I must have upset everyone in the waiting room because I ran blindly out of the room saying 'I can't do it, I can't stay)
Both dh and I were I floods of tears and the poor vet nurse had to come looking for us. We were clutching each other by the side of the road, god knows what the rush hour traffic made of us :-(.
Anyway it's all over now and we've buried her in the garden. I'd really like to get some kind of memorial plaque or headstone to remember her. Not sure what yet, any ideas? She was very old, about 18 we think. We got her just before we got married, before the children and everything. The house is very empty tonight.
