I've just booked an appointment at the vets for Dennis the hamster and I know the tme is right to let him go as he's starting to suffer now and he can't see anymore and has stopped eating.
I just feel so wretched and am sat here bawling my eyes out.
Hmmm, its ok Jenna. You dont pester me. Its natural for a girl to cry at the slightest thing. The only thing i would suggest is to pay for the lethal injection beforehand. Its a lot more difficult to hold your emotions after the event...
Several years ago one of my mice was really ill, and cost me over �30.00 at the vets to remedy. Everyone said I was bonkers as the poor little mite only cost a quid when i got him from the petshop!
Anyway, sorry- i'm rambling...........
If you know it's time for him to go then you are really doing him a kindness when he's put to sleep. Keep telling yourself that whilst you had him he had a happy little life.
Jenna you were a bit low anyway weren't you? Soory to hear about poor Dennis but feel sure you gave him a great life and now you are preventing his suffering which is a kindness in itself. Take a mate and have a good blub then find a nice spot for him. Talk again soon (((hug)))
I know it's the kind thing to do, instinct tells me it's the right time. It's just really sad and I'm losing a little friend.
He has had a good life, i adopted him from a friend who didn't want him who had taken him off someone who didn't want him. He's a little nomad like me lol, been with me through 2 moves himself bless him.
He's a lil old man now, well over two. Here he is..
Good grief, no wonder he's poorly, he growing a human being out of his tummy, quick take him to the vet and get that growth removed, he'll be better in no time, mark my words
My heart goes out to you, I know how you will be feeling later and I don't evny you, but be happy knowing that he had a fantasic time with you and now he's off to somewhere better, where he won't be a little nomad and he can stay as long as he likes.
Big Hugs xx
Big hug and cuddle Jenna, hope your week starts to get better. And you are doing the right thing with poor Dennis. I swear by maltesers, (has to be a box) to help make you feel better and a big mug of tea :O)
