I'm so very sorry, I have a lab and last year she had cancer when i was told over the phone i started crying i dread the day we have to let her go (im welling up just thinking about it) Its funny how us humans get so attached to something so daft (most dogs are daft) with the things they do.
Sending you love hugs and kisses

I cant seem to stop crying tonight. All the kids are asleep, OH is asleep and all I keep thinking is why didnt I ask the vet last night if it could be food poisoning or something like tyhat. Bessie was fine apart form being old and a bit stiff christmas day. I just took the vets word for it and he didnt even check her with a stethascope or anything.
I clocked the computer at 8.15 and he had her already down as deceased and she wasnt.
Why didnt I question it
She had had loads of crap to eat (like they do) over christmas, It could of been something simple. She could of been here now if I had of asked questions but I was in shock kind of0 -
To think of it the vet was very cruel the way he carried her out of the car and into the surgery. We were only all in there a matter of 10-15 mins. I do think he was rushing her inas a matter of ergency though but not in a nice way.
I feel like its my fault I didnt question what he said, I did think it was strange at the time that he didnt do any checks just weigh her.0 -
So sorry hun
I cried reading this.
Something that helps me a little after losing a companion is to make book of photos of them and write down all my memories of them, to make sure I'll never forget a thing.

Im so sorry for you and your cat today. I lost my cat Marmite this year too. Although he was a shock he got run over waiting for me to come home from school only Id gone to my sons assembly and didnt get home till later on in the morning. We hadnt had him as long as Bessie.She was older than two of my childen, shes been here for ever and I thought she'd last for ever0 -
I dont know what to say really but if Bessie was in pain would you want her to be here now like it. Its a real shame that animals can't talk and tell us whats wrong. Im still crying

I hope that if she was in pain that she is no longer in pain and in a better place. I know the next time Kay (my lab) has cancer we wont let them operate as she is already 9 so it would be too much for her.
Im devastated for you i really am i wish there was something i could do or say to bring Bessie back.

Weve been looking at photos of her today to get blown up and put in a frame.
And the vet centre should ring us next week about her ashes. Yes I know its not moneysaving but I paid to have a private cremation, cost an arm and a leg but shes worth every penny, she can come home where she belongs, as my daughter says she can be put on the mantle peice like pauling fowler (eastenders) Its not funny but I know what she means0
