Susie So sorry to hear your sad news about your beloved Annie. I know exactly how you are feeling,having had to do the awful deed myself.It is not easy but at least look at it as an act of love and caring that you know that the end of the line has been reached and that she will just go peacefully to sleep and be free of pain for ever. Remember all the happy times you had and the love and joy she brought to you and your family. Take care I will be thinking of you. All best wishes Mary

Sorry about your pet - you've done the kindest thing though. XXX

Hiya Susie,having had to do this myself for both dogs and cats in the past you have my utmost sympathy,it takes a lot of courage and love to do it,all my love and a big hug,Brenda

Susie I know just what you are going through. All I can send is a huge hug and say we will be thinking of you at 5pm tomorrow evening( Same time as I had to take my Sally to the vet the last time, and that was a thursday too HUGS HUGS HUGS ) Love Jan xxx

Susie, I am so very sorry to hear your sad news. I know exactly how you feel. Our bully had a heart attack and died in July. We miss her so very much. ((((Hugs)))) Lindyxx

This has helped us before. Doesn't take the pain away, but helps a bit. Hugs to Annie. x A Pet’s Prayer If it should be that I grow frail and weak And pain should keep me from my sleep Then you must do what must be done, For this last battle can’t be won. You will be sad – I understand – Don’t let your grief then stay your hand; For this day, more than all the rest Your love and friendship stand the test. We’ve had so many happy years, What is to come can hold no fears; You’d not want me to suffer so When the time comes, please let me go. Take me where my needs they’ll tend, Only – stay with me till the end; And hold me firm and speak to me Until my eyes no longer see. I know in time you will see It’s a kindness that you do for me; Although my tail its last has waved, From pain and suffering I’ve been saved. Don’t grieve that it should be you Who has to decide this thing to do; We’ve been so close, all of us, these years, Don’t let your heart hold any tears. Author unknown.

oh marion not you crying aswell. annies is layed on the floor on her blanket just looking at me. she is so used to sitting on the chairs in the conservatory but she cant get on them now. so her blanket is the next best thing eh? susie

I'm so sorry to hear this Susie :-( Sending you loads of love and hugs, becx

So sorry, but is for the best for 'both' of you. You got me started now :(( Marion

Susie, I know how you must be feeling. But I think you have made the right decision, it is always hard to let your pets go, but this is the kindest thing you could have done for your much loved pet. Sue.............xx

it is really hard, I had to do the same with my Lucy, having had her for 16 years. I was on my own at the time, and knew the time had some. All i can say is do what you can, and dont beat yourself up when the time comes. I knew i wanted to see it right thru with Lu , but when it actually came down to it, i couldn't stay to the very end. As I walked away my feet wouldn't walk back although my heart wanted to. I loved her too much to be 'in control' of either her, or my emotions at the very very end. Gawd only knows what the people that walked passed the Vets that evening as i sat on the wall thought - and to be honest i dont care. I cried like i had never cried before. Thinking of you Jess x

Susie, A huge ((((HUG)))) for you, its a hard thing to do but your doing it for all the right reasons, your a caring person with lots of compassion. Roxanne xxxx

Susie, I really feel for you, its not easy having to part with a friend and family member. Love and hugs, June xx

huge hug xx

Know what you are going through and how hard the decision has been to make. But it's because you love her so much that you have made this decision. Thinking of you. M.

thankyou all so much for you wonderful words. she is gonna be missed so much,but as you have all said,it is the kindest thing to do. all of our bulldogs are rescue dogs.we have bought them back into tip top condition and they are loved so much. a few years ago we bred shar pei,and with every litter i had to keep one lol i cant imagine my home without a dog or several lol but annie will always be remembered. her appointment is at 5pm tomorrow.the vet has told us he will make her the first appointment of the evening shift so that we wont have to wait with all the others in the waiting room susie
