Broken hearted

[babybythesea]

My 14 year old rough collie was put to sleep today. It was the right thing, we planned a lovely last day with lots of treats and cuddles, the weather was on our side so we sat in the garden (she was an outdoor kind of girl). We were all with her as she drifted off to sleep, telling her she was loved, so loved.
It was the perfect end to a wonderful 14 years she has given us but fuck I’m in bits. I can’t believe she’s gone.
My teenager hasn’t come out of her room and my 10 year old has sobbed and sobbed and told me it’s a mistake and we need to go quickly and get her back.

I know we did what was right for her but it hurts. Why do we do this to ourselves?

Meg. 25.3.10-12.4.24

So sorry for your loss op. What a beautiful ddog..

Oh she's a beautiful doggie. It's the last act of love for her but it hurts us so much. She sounds to have had a wonderful life and what a lovely last day she had. Lots of hugs to you all x

She looks like a beautiful Girl and I’m so sorry you had to make that decision.
I bet she had the best life with your family x

She's beautiful ❤️
You gave her 14 wonderful years, I know that doesn't make it feel any easier right now. You did the right thing, you know when it's the right time x

Sending you love ❤️. Have done this too many times over the years. Last time was January 2023, our little man he would have been 18 in the march. I have to admit that making the appointment going was the worst bit, I felt relief afterwards. I will never forget him,all my friends knew him he had been around for ever. We have had 3 dogs live to almost 18. Several like yours and borders. He used to sit by me on the sofa, loved bald heads, and bare toes. If anyone else sat in HIS spot (including my now 8 year old border collie) he would sit on the sofa arm and shuffle until room was made. He had the best life. Near the beach and South Downs,huge garden,slept on our bed
He was a Phalene and such a character,so clever,if he needed his back end cleaning,he would jump in the bath and wait for you to shower him. When the water bowl was empty,he would stand in front of me, make a noise,then walk to the water bowl and stare at me!

Meg is beautiful. What a lucky girl to have been loved so much.

What a beautiful girl Meg 💔💔
Just fucking shit they don't live so long

So sorry to read this. What a beautiful dog.

I’m so sorry, she was beautiful. 🌷

So sorry op, she looks like such a happy soul. You gave her a wonderful life, and she was very lucky. I know how difficult it is and wish they lived as long as us, but try to hold on to what a lovely life you gave her, and how happy your family made her.
