:(:(:(:( That sounds awful blondynurse. You poor thing, what an awful decsion to have to come to. Actually me and my Mum were talking about the same thing yesterday. When her dog was put down she was about 17. Her parents didn't say they were having her put down, it wasn't confirmed that they would but they knew it was a strong probability. They just came home with an empty lead...still gets me choked up to think about it. My Mum's still upset to this day that she didn't know what they were doing and couldn't say goodbye properly. I know it will be difficult to deal with your grief aswell as you're children's but atleast if you're all in the same boat together you can pull together as a team. If you don't tell them the truth then you may feel guilty and for me, guilt would be harder to deal with than the joint grief. Very difficult situation though, I will be thinking of you and your family :Axx

thankyou Fudge Cake and Kadison,
great advice. Well I have bit the bullet and sat the kids down and spoke to them honestly which deffo was the best way to deal with it. They are such good sensible kids, both were upset, but completely understood. After reading your post Fudge Cake I knew I had to tell them, and also the burden of guilt would have drove me to the brink. I wear my heart on my sleeve and find honesty much easier. Also I didn't want to deny kids the right to say goodbye.
This behaviour hasn't been sudden it was been going on for at least 2 years the dog isn't well has heart and kidney failure, and has so much treatment that the isurance had to be canceled because it had went up to £80 a month. Life is weird, take turns roundabouts snakes and ladders but we are such a close family we will support each other. Thanks for reading this, its been a difficult day, i'm certain tommorow will be worse x

What do I do? our dog is old and has been a much loved family pet, but now she has become a total nightmare, she is distroying the house, peeing and pooing everywhere biting at cats, myself and everyone who she goes near, mind you thats only if your trying to take things off her. she has become obssesed with food eating bin bags shopping bags, drags things out your handbag, we are having a living nightmare with her. she has very many medical problems, has survived cancer bowel twists and so on many times. anyway I feel awful but my hubby and i disgussed getting her put down phoned the vet they can do it at 9.30am tomoz problem is we have a 19 year old son and 17 year old daughter who know what she is like but are probably not as bothered because they don't have to clean up after her. she is almost 13 and its a long time for us all, but what do I tell my adult children? Do i tell the truth and tell them whats happening tomoz or do i say she passed away during the night, my friend thinks i should tell them the truth and let them have there last night together. i am only just coping with the idea myself and feel i couldn't cope if the kids got upset too. it has been making my home life miserable and hard work has anyone any suggestions what to say to ds and dd. hubby ids going to take her in morning,
thankyou in advance for any advice. (never posted anything personal on here before)

Sorry for slow reply (I'm a few pages back catching up). I think you need to steel yourself and tell them the truth sweetheart. I know it is so hard for you to get used to the idea but I'm sure they will understand better than you think they will.
A couple of years ago two of my sons had gone to Download Festival, they knew that our cat was becoming senile, doing silly things like sleeping in the bathroom sink and drinking water from the loos.
On the Saturday, my neighbour came round and told me that Smokie had died in their garden. He did go in his sleep and was 21 years old but I dreaded telling the boys. They did have a cry, both of them over 6Ft tall were very red eyed but they knew that I had told them that I may have to go to the vet and if I did Smokie may not come home.
We were all upset and quite rightly, no matter what age a pet it is heartbreaking when you lose them or have to let then go. In your case though it is the best action to take and then put an end to any suffering. I hope this all makes sense.

Thinking of you at this difficult time I think every pet owner instinctively knows when it's time to let go. I think you're all very brave

So sorry to hear about your sad situation.

Is it possible the vet could do anything else to help improve things, you've probably already asked them, but it's always worth getting a 2nd opinion with vets (found this out with my cat)
I would tell the children the truth, I think it's the harder things to do now, but you will probably look back on it and feel better that you told them in the long run.

Sending you hugs, and hope whatever you decide goes as well as it can.
