Feeling Sad

[horselady]

My son's beautiful dog was put to sleep this morning. Only 21 months old, it was discovered she had malformed kidneys when she was 11 months old and she's been on medication since then but she became very poorly and it was time to let go. The grandchildren will be so upset when they come home from school although they knew she wouldn't be with them for long. This will be the 6th dog I've said a tearful goodbye to in my lifetime, doesn't get any easier does it?

How sad.. for the best if she was so poorly...

[NoMercy]

No, it doesn't get easier. They're like children, except without the tantrums and the constant, "I want."

I don't believe you can ever truly get over losing them.

NO it doesn;t get any easier, I do feel for you. Knowing it was for the best doesn't make it any less sad for us. Best wishes x

It's always painful, you all gave her love and that's the very best any of us can do.x

Just been there with Toby my black Lab, just before Xmas. I know how everyone will be feeling. My thoughts are with you.

Such a short time with you. My deepest sympathy x

I'm sorry to hear about the death of such a young member of your . It seems so unfair. xx

[Baldric]

So sorry to hear that horselady,
I've had to do it 7 times now, and you're right it doesn't get any easier.
All you can do is cherish them while they're with you, and think on PTS as being the final act of kindness you can do for them.

It is very upsetting for you all. It was the kindest thing to have done. She's at peace now. x

Aww bless the little sweetheart, much too young to die. She was loved and that's all that matters x

[horselady]

Thank you for your kind comments. She was very loved and will be missed. I had her for a week last summer while they went away and I'm so glad I did, we had a lovely time, just the two of us.
