Sorry, didn't mean to though it's inevitable that times like these are very emotional. I still get upset about my little Skippy if I think about her too much and she's been gone fourteen years next month. I even cry about other peoples' dogs, and some of the ones on Doglost have me in floods.

gailbonney,it looks as if it has been a sad festive period for both our families.I know the decision is a hard one to make,but we do it out of love.Rather than see our beloved pets suffer,we choose to let them run up the rainbow to a happier pain free place.Tears for us relief for them and happy memories of the good times we had together soon return.

Thats what I'm doing now.thinking about all the wonderful memories we have of her with us. Hope you are able to do that soon too.
I am dreading going back to work on Monday though cos I don't think many of my colleagues have pets so won't get how I'm feeling. Will not mention unless have to as I remember when I lost my cav in 1999...people said oh never mind or its just a dog.
At least I have been able to open my heart up on here and knew I would be understood!
So sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved dog Gail,even though you know you did the right thing for Izzy its still so hard to bear.I had to make that decision 10 months ago when my much loved dog Brynn took ill very suddenly,he was 13, I know he had a long and happy life and traveled the length and breadth of the country with us in the caravan but I still miss him so much. I had a plaque made with his photo on and a lovely verse I put a magnetic strip on the back of it and put it on the combi boiler I surrounded it with fridge magnets from places we visited together.
I know you will be still feeling very sad but I hope you managed to get through the day at work.Tinking of you
