We had to let her go !!

Yep, know how you feel, we had to do the same with our doberman and rotti cross staffy last year, within one month of each other. It was definately one of the hardest decisions we have ever had to make.

Cheers

Be strong mate..... It's not easy to loose a friend you had for so long. But you did all you can to help her and at the end of the day ---- she's better off that way. Regards - dedabato

My thoughts go out to you, your wife and the lonley shepard/collie..

Hardest decision to make BUT the right one, but gee whiz it still hurts hey mate.

She looks a very friendly & kind old girl & I'll bet she provided you with many happy memories. & I'm pretty sure that given a little time the good memories & fun that she brought you will well & truly outweigh the sad ones. Cheers

I cry so much every time I lose a dog but I wouldnt let a vet talk me into donating to his bank account just to prolong the inevitable. we all got a life and a time to die.

Friend had a vet who talked him into getting another old dog to keep the first dog in company. It was blind already. So when the first died the second kept the vet in comfort for another year or so. It was a lot of money and coming home wondering if the old mate had expired every day.

We had to put our Rottie cross down the day after Australia Day this year, one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make, but is was the right one to make.

Allow yourself to grieve and remember all the good times you had with her.

They become part of the family Steve, but you done the right thing. Sorry for your loss Pete

goodday stephen

Stephen M, so sorry to hear of your loss, we had to have our girl put down on Monday and it has taken me all this time to pull myself together, so we know just how you feel. We don't have another dog and won't be getting one in the future, we get too attached to our furry friends and it is so hard to see them go.

We do feel for you and your family but I'm sure you have some wonderful memories as we do. We had time to take our girl on a holiday before she got too bad.

Cheers

G'day Stephen

Sorry to hear about your loss mate, my thoughts are with you.

Cheers.....Dave

My wife and I would like to thankyou all for your thoughts. Much appreciated. Thanks again Regards Steve

Stephen,
Sorry to hear of your loss.

Mate, like everyone else has said, you did the right thing. Doesn't make anything easier though, hey? I'm sure she was a happy thing for all of her ten years, even when she was getting sick..

Hi Stephen,
A mate gave me this, when I had to say farewell to a good friend..I just found it again, and thought it may be some comfort for you.

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, the 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 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 to the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time, you will see
It is a kindness you do to me
Although my tail it’s last has waved
From pain and suffering I’ve been saved.

Don’t grieve it should be you,
Who decides this thing to do.
We’ve been so close, we two these years
Don’t let your heart hold any tears.

Smile, for we walked together
For a little while.
