    Words feel so little but you know we would all want to give you more. Because of both your diaries, Bear is a real person to all of us - thank you for sharing him.

    Ditto. So sorry for your loss Piq. At least he was with his favourite person in the whole wide world when the end came. RIP Bear Xx

    I don't seem to be able to find the right words to let you know how sorry I am to hear this sad news. I enjoyed hearing of his final escapades and hope that in time you will be able to smile at the voice you gave him x

    Your life is not pants my lovely, you are an amazing kind thoughtful human being who puts everyone first and one day, your day will come.

    Lots of those uncomfortable Granny hugs, mojitos, wine and bananas heading your way.

    Lots and lots of love

    RIP Bear, we'll miss you x

    Oh Piq I am SO sorry. I can understand how in bits you must feel. It was the right thing for Bear, and you were strong enough to do the right thing, even when your heart must have been crying out no!
    I too am in tears. I hope you can spend lots of time with the Captain so he can give consoling neighs and horsey kisses

    RIP little bear of to rainbow bridge with all of the rest of the beloved pets, please say hi to Baldrick for me :)

    So sorry to hear about bear, its never easy for us to make that hard decision, but given the same situation would have done exactly the same thing again, at least we can give them that final dignity.

    Lots of love and horse hugs. Hope the Captain is helping you.
