RIP oor wee Tammy. She went is now at peace. OH and myself cried our eyes out, we are never going through that again. we took her her usual wee walk this morning, i cooked her mince which she ate, cuddled her constantly, i think she knew, the lady vet said it was the only thing we could do she said she thinks Tammy has cushions syndrome and diabetes as well as major organ failure, she reasured us that Tammy agitation and constant hunger as well as everything else was making her an unhappy wee dog and it was best to go ahead and do what we were doing. When she passed she looks so content and settled hubby and I both said we hadn't seen her so at peace for years. Thank you all for your words of comfort and kindness. my daughter stayed up all night cuddling Tammy on the couch she is 17 and can't remember life before we had Tammy. I noticed this morning she has a picture of Tammy on her bedside cabanet facing her bed. xxxxxxxxx

Bless you both, your lovely Tammy is now on the other side in heaven, free from pain and can live there forever playing happily in the sunshine and running through long grass and beautiful clear streams xxx

RIP Tammy xx

I still have a photo of Tia beside my bed. I went to Florida a couple of weeks after she passed and took the photo with me. I remember sitting outside a bar with my pal having a good old cry about her x

The tears are tripping me and I can only imagine how hard that was for you. It's difficult when you see brief glimpses of the dog you once knew that was happy & healthy and wonder if it's all a bad dream but dogs are a lot braver than us humans and put on a brave face.

You'll meet again at Rainbow Bridge. RIP Tammy :A

She has been your family pet for 13 years, you owe it to her to find out why she is behaving like this, there are all sorts of medical problems that can cause this and more importantly all sorts of treatments you can try. You wouldn't give up on one of your children this easily and dont forget A dog is for LIFE and not until you get fed up of it. I think the most important thing you can do as far as your children are concerned is to show that when you take on the responsibility of a pet it should be for life, especially when your dog needs help. Don't just turn away because there is a problem, find a solution. If PTS is your solution to the problem please do not ever have another pet just to give up when a problem arises. If you have made your mind up to get rid of your dog have you considered trying a rehoming centre. Someone may give her a few more years love and care.

Troll, take your bad attitude somewhere else.

Blondynurse, the many pet owners on here feel for you. :A

Morning all, I've been reading all the posts but as yet I cannot bring myself to read the poetry, it would be just too much

Hugs to all who need them (and some extra hugs for those who don't need them but just want one anyway :cool:)

Hugs to 3Dogs and Blondynurse

This story has helped me each time I have had to say goodbye to my 3 furbabies, I hope it can also bring some comfort to both of you at this sad time:-

Subject: A Dog's Purpose


A Dog's Purpose (from a 6-year-old)


Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old
Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners Ron, his wife, Lisa,
and their little boy, Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and
they were hoping for a miracle.


I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family
we couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the
euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.


As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be
good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure.
They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.


The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker 's
family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for
the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on.
Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.


The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any
difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's
death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are
shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped
up, "I know why."


Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next
stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation.


He said, "People are born so that they can learn how to live a good
life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?" The
six-year-old continued, "Well, dogs already know how to do that, so
they don't have to stay as long."



Live simply.
Love generously.
Care deeply
Speak kindly.


Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:


When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.


Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.


Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.


Take naps.


Stretch before rising.


Run, romp, and play daily.


Thrive on attention and let people touch you. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.


On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.


On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.


When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.


Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.


Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.


Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not.


If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.


When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.


Be always grateful for each new day

That is lovely motherbear, thank you

Me too ... atm I have a job staying dry eyed without thinking of anything emotional. The LOs (and their tanturums) had me crying again the other night in a Mr Ts ... very embarassing.

I always had doggies growing up and as an only child they were my bestest pals ... one 'disappeared', one escaped and was knocked down by a car and another began fitting and so was 'put to sleep'. 'Owning' a pet an array of emtions ... but I wouldn't be without them.
