Farewell old Friend

[usualsuspect]

Had to have my poor old dog PTS today

He was 14 and suffering from cancer

I'm gonna miss that scruffy old dog

loosing a pet is so hard

Thank you

sorry to read this.

went through it with our 14 year old girl in the autumn so i know how much you will be missing him right now.

So sorry, we lost our beloved Wei at the start of the year and I still expect to see her when I open the door

He was a rescue dog ..bless him, I like to think he had a good life with us ..its so bloody hard though

But the right choice if he was suffering. Had my 7 yr old lab cross (also a rescue) put to sleep just over a year ago and it was awful. Am very sorry for your loss

i know how you feel i had to have my dog put down 6yrs ago :(

Its always hard when you are parted from a pet, there is nothing you can do to prepare for it. But, even though we know its going to hurt when they do go, it doesn't stop us from having them in the first place because they bring so much love and joy in to our lives.

Thinking of you x

Thank you for your kind words

Sorry - as kid said the love and joy they bring is immeasurable, but then the pain when they go is so hard.

AA Milne Winnie the Pooh said 'How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.' I always think that applies to pet ownership

Sorry to hear this, I can only imagine how much you must miss him - though I'm sure you did give him a good home and a very happy life for the time he was with you. If only they could stay with us forever :(

I'm so, so sorry. Take comfort in knowing how much you did for that little rescue boy and what you saved him from... as well as the fact that by giving him a home you almost certainly gave another dog a chance of life. Each rescue dog who finds a home leaves behind a kennel for a pound dog to find sanctuary in.

Take it easy on yourself.

I'm sorry. It hurts.

I'm crying now thanks everyone

My puppy died last year, I was in pieces for a long time. But, as time goes on you cry less and smile more. It does sound crazy to people that don't have pets, but to me, the pain of losing my hairy baby was literally unbearable. I was in tears just last night thinking about him but today I was able to talk about him.

just let the tears fall, you will gain nothing by keeping them in. If people don't understand your feeling of loss, they clearly haven't been lucky enough to know the joy of owning a dog.

Message me if you want to talk or just talk on here, it will help I am sure. I did lot a of posting when my pup died, I can't read it now though as it makes me cry even more!

Usual, I am so sorry for your loss. Your dog spent many happy years with you experiencing love, devotion and safety, and when the time came you were brave and responsible. Nobody can do more than that.

Exactly what Scuttlebutter said. so sorry, know its horrible time
