    Well ive had a !!!!! day today, my little chihuahua had another stroke at breakfast time today........
    And her legs are all over the place and her balance, so in the morning I will have to take her to the vets for the last time..........

    She is 16 , and weve given her a wonder life and home in that time , it would be cruel to keep her any longer how she is right now, we dont think she is in any pain whatsoever , but just want to have a last night with her .............

    Ive had a real poxy bad week , sometimes you just think "can it get any worse"..................And yes it can......

    Hope your all bearing up with the long dark cold nights....Sheila

    So sorry Shegar, you really have had a dreadful week. Enjoy your night with the little one. she is a good age and you have given her a wonderful life.

    I know that doesn't make it any easier for you just now, but I am sending lots of gentle hugs to you.

    Candlelight xx

    Oh, Shegar, I'm so sorry. May your furbaby go to sleep in her own bed tonight and cross the Rainbow Bridge.

    I hate the final trip to the vet. Spousal Unit has always been away when it's happened and I've had to do it with the boys.

    Huge hugs!

    So sorry Shegar, you are brave making that decision, it's not easy. My darling Bess is still sorely missed. I know what you mean wanting one last night. Hugs.

    So sorry, Shegar, about your little dog, but it obviously is her time to leave our world. I am sure you will give her lots of love and cuddles tonight, and although tomorrow will be a sad day, you will be helping her to go with dignity.

    shegar sorry for you little ones problems, we lost our mr ben and I truly remember wanting just one last night together, and it gave us the chance for the kids to be able to say their goodbyes with hugs and tears.
