Dog being PTS tomorrow hand hold?

[YourDaughter]

I’m devastated, can’t stop crying, just want her to be her usual happy self, but she can’t. I miss her so much already.

Feelings are never silly! She will be free of pain and bounding onwards to whatever may be out there, we don't know. Could you sprinkle the ashes in your garden?

Had mine pts at home.

So sorry to hear your news. I'm a vet so experience this a lot from a different perspective, but I always say the only way of looking at it is that you're doing it entirely for them. It's horrible for you, but a blessing for them. It's normal to be hurting, but focus on the knowledge that they will be at peace.

Take a look at TheRalphSite.Com, lots of good support material there.

Big massive hugs. I do know how you feel, i have had dogs go too soon and some that was ready. Its hard regardless.

cry as much as you want, and its hard because its the right thing to do for her.

Thank @jhall7, the site looks good

We worry about putting in the garden in case we move, I don’t want to leave her behind.

She is a beautiful girl.

There are some lovely pet urns for sale. I have my pets in their favourite places in the house, couldn't leave them outside alone.

I was also going to suggest the Ralph Site, I found it on a leaflet at the pet hospital a few years ago.

This site might help you too, I would turn the music off though in-memory-of-pets.com/

So sorry @YourDaughter. It's so hard to go through. My six year old poodle has been at the vets since Friday morning on a drip due to kidney failure. We were allowed to bring her home this evening but she has to go back Monday morning for more tests. She's miserable and refusing to eat but currently curled up on my lap. Remember all the happy memories and think of the wonderful life she has had with you.

So sorry to hear that @NorthUtsire, that’s very young to be so poorly. Hope she’s on the mend soon.

So sorry to hear of everyone’s losses. They’re such wonderful friends

Oh OP, wherever you put her ashes, she will eternally be alive in your heart. Wherever you move, she will go with you. However many dogs you own in your life, each and every one of them will keep their space in your heart, she will never be forgotten. She has claimed a part of your heart by rights and she will never relinquish it. She has been here in this World and made you a happier, better person, and that knowledge and experience will remain with you, for as many years as you leave. The day you die, I bet you will think of her. And she will be waiting for you. Love and hugs, fellow dog owner. I see you, I hear you, and I definitely understand you.

*as many years as you LIVE, not leave

Unless you have been there no one knows just how heart breaking it is to say goodbye to a loved pet. You have to remember she is ill, will not recover only become worse. Think of the happy life you gave her, some animals are not so lucky. At the time you will be able to cuddle her, speak to her if not sobbing too much and when the medication is administered it is instantaneous. Such a sad time for you - the circle of life.

@YourDaughter I’m sorry @QueenOfOversharing, I didn’t mean to make you cry.

I’m panicking about coping with how much it will hurt when she is gone. I’m truly not sure how I’ll do it, I know I have too, I have a children and a husband. I just don’t want to. I want to hide away from the world, I don’t want to be in it if my girl isn’t. (I’m not usually so dramatic and ridiculous, I’m just so anxious)

Oh please don't apologise - I just really feel your pain.

My staffy had a cancerous tumour removed earlier this year & my beagle had emergency surgery 3 weeks ago - I had those thoughts, even during those times. Just hold tight to the memories.

Thank you so much all.

@aurynne, that’s really lovely, thank you for putting it like that.

@QueenOfOversharing, I’m really trying to keep those memories of happiness at the forefront.

She’s been up every couple of hours so far needing to go out. She’s such a good girl letting me know she needs to go. Even now, when so poorly, she wants to be to do her business in the garden. She’s had a little drink each time too. No food though, just one spoonful of yoghurt. Means she’s not eaten since Friday morning.

No reason for my rambling account, other than I’m trying to reassure myself we’re doing the right thing calling the vet out.

So sorry OP. I'm sure you have given her the most wonderful life and now you are giving her one last gift of a peaceful, dignified goodbye.

@YourDaughter No reason for my rambling account, other than I’m trying to reassure myself we’re doing the right thing calling the vet out.

You're definitely doing the right thing. You know your girl.

That made me sob @Violetroselily, it’s lovely.

Thank you for the reassurance @QueenOfOversharing

This is how we woke up for our last morning. She’s still giving me memories to treasure

@YourDaughter such a beautiful picture. I love how she's holding your arm. Sending her kisses & hugs for you. I'll be thinking of you today.

Thank you @QueenOfOversharing I appreciate that.

Children have gone to my mum’s now. Just me and my sleepy girl

Thinking of you, I'm so sorry you have to lose your girl. You have both been so lucky to have each other

You know yourself that you are doing the right thing. The love we give our pets is very special. Most of us take the old adage “in sickness, in health, till death us do part” far more seriously for our pets than we do for a partner. You have provided the love, they the partnership. Yes it will be sad and you will cry but there will always be happy memories to look back on. Thinking of you today.

Sending you love. Doing what is right with our gorgeous hairy family members really hurts. Its because we love them so much.

I have a cupboard full of boxes of ashes from our much loved pets. It takes me years and years to let them fully go.
Will be thinking of you.

@yourdaughter my heart hurts so much for you. I will be thinking of you and your beautiful girl today

Thank you all. Last few minutes with her now. Vet is due at 11am. Thought this morning it was quite apt that her appointment is at 11am on Remembrance Sunday

She’s gone

so sorry YourDaughter ❤
