so sorry to hear that, it's heartbreaking to lose a pet xxx 

How awful for you. Take comfort in the fact you’ve given him a good life and can help him on his way peacefully. Love and hugs 🤗 

Thank you so much for your kind words.....I've been crying for days now knowing what l had to do, my eye sockets feel like they have sand in them, l think I've cried my eyes dry.....Monday at 3.20 is the day he leaves this planet not looking forward to it, but it's the right thing to do.....the vet could not believe his eyes that pepper was still alive after being diagnosed with this illness in May of 2017 said l was very lucky to have had him this long.....my diet has flown out the window right now as I've been comfort eating (as you do in a crisis) but shall get my act together soon when I'm not so preoccupied with my peppers needs lifting him to his wheels for the toilet every 3 hrs washing his blankets daily changing his dog nappies etc I've really had no time for FS lately or myself but needs must!!!......MM x 

My thoughts are with you, the pain is so overwhelming even though you are doing the right thing. It sounds like he's had a happy life and in time the memories will bring more smiles than tears.  

So sorry to hear your story! My family had to make the decision to put our beloved lab down who I grew up with from age 5 and he was put down a week before my twentieth birthday, we was all heart broken I still to this day get upset seeing any labs... People don't understand they are family it's such a beautiful relationship to have and such a heart breaking experience to go through and I'm sorry to hear you have to go through this also ♥ it's hard but you are doing the nicest thing, they'll never want to leave but sometimes you have to let them go, just try to remember all the beautiful memories you shared with your pooch rather than the sad parts, thoughts and love go out to you from the comments and your post your obviously an amazing mum to him and it sounds like he couldn't have had a better mum or life ♥ xxx 

Aww that is so sad, my thoughts are with you and your family. Take care. 

I have taken all your comments onboard,they have really helped me to except the path we have chosen.....it's really refreshing to read so many dog lovers out there feel the heartache of making this awful decision thank you for helping me through this difficult time.....MM x 

I feel for you. My two yorkies are 10 and 13 and I know that time is precious now. Hope you'll be OK x 

Oh no😔 But it’s the right choice for your faithful fur baby Sending big hugs 🤗🤗🤗 

I'm so sorry to hear that. sending blessings and hugs xx 

A nice man at Rutland gave me this poem IF IT SHOULD BE If it should be that I grow weak and pain should keep me from my sleep. Then you must do what must be done, for this last battle cannot 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 for me must 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. The time has come, please let me go. Take me where my needs they'll tend and please stay with me until the end. Hold me firm and speak to me, until my eyes no longer see. I know in time that you will see, the kindness that you did for me. Although my tail its last has waved, from pain and suffering I've been saved. Please do not grieve it must be you who had this painful thing to do. We've been so close, we two, these years. Don't let your heart hold back its tears.  

That's beautiful Maggie truly beautiful ☺ ohhh I wish i could not upset thinking about my beautiful lab George.. Its awkward to ask but how are you? Its such a painful experience to go through but yes every word in that poem is true ♥ just have to cherish the wonderful memories the beautiful pooches gift us with xxx 

Megan..... Im sad and relieved both at the same time .....its very strange these emotions you go through.....I know what you mean by missing your Lab George, all the dogs that I have ever had in the past, occasionally whilst gardening or sitting for some reason they just pop into my mind and then I begin to get sad all over again..... what an impact those little furry darlings have on us humans, there will always be a special place for them in my heart xxxx  

I completely understood what you mean you know your doing the right thing but at the same time it's devastating your losing a member of your family, I know what you mean any time you can just think of them and as much as you wish you could smile unfortunately makes you sad ♥ at least you know your pooch will not be struggling any more and will always live on in your memories, that was a beautiful poem that man gave you, really lovely your obviously a dog person ☺ and at least your little pooch got to spend his life with someone caring like you rather than the heartless people who kick them to tge curb without a blink (never understood how some can be so cold) you'll get through this Maggie and just remember you did the kindest and most loving thing you could've done for him xxx 

Megan Since all my kids flew the nest many moons ago the woofs became my children.....when Peps ashes return back home I will put them with all the other caskets of dogs past and I shall get that poem printed then laminated and hang it on the wall .....It may sound a bit morbid and sad to most people but when I pass I want my ashes to be scattered with theirs in our favourite holiday destination where we have got such lovely memories of all our pooches xxx  

So sorry to hear this. Keep strong 🐾🐾 

Beautiful poem ❤️❤️🤗🤗 

Completely agree they are like your kids they depend on you solely and I don't think that sounds morbid at all it sounds lovely xx 

I hope you are ok. I still mourn for all my dogs. Each one went in a different way you can never predict how it will go. You get used to the loss but you never get over it they are always there in your heart. 💔 

Hi Maggie Was in bunts yesterday and thought of you Sending big hugs 🤗🤗
