Just lost my best pal

I too am mourning the loss of my old boy Clive, it only happened yesterday. The image I can't get out of my mind was his terrified eyes just as they put the needle in, he knew I'm sure. He was fine the night before last, but couldn't walk yesterday so I had to get the vet. I haven't stop crying since. Everything is still here, including his food that he didn't eat ( first time ever, he was a bit of a pig) but I'm not moving it because I'm not ready. I had him for 14 years & my heart is broken.

I'm so so sorry for your loss.

Ohhhh noooo TooClever .... so, so sorry to hear about Clive (((hugs)))).

It really is the most terrible decision to make and knowing it's the right thing doesn't make it any easier or lessen the guilt any.

RIP wee one, run free at the bridge and say "hi" to my Ben .... I miss him to much.

I don't want to take anything away from rising, but ditto! I've been battling with that image for the last 4 years, it haunts me. I know exactly how you feel, it was my Murphy's back end that went suddenly, nothing wrong with his clever and active mind; it is soul destroying. I'm probably not helping, but will be holding your hand in spirit. So sorry.....

Thanks everyone, and I know how you feel Rising. After the initial shock of them going and day to day life resumes, it starts to become even harder to reconcile that he's gone. I still keep thinking I must get some flea stuff, food etc, but I don't. He was a part of my life for 15 years, much of my day was taken up with him because he was my mate & my comfort when I needed it. He's left a big hole as I'm sure all of you know. Thanks again for the kind words.
