I knew for 2-3 days we were approaching that point and this morning i spotted blood in her wee and knew it was time. She hasn't suffered at all, in fact this morning she had a full tin of meat, 3 sausages and a chocolate mini roll (the first one ever)

I'm sad of course and I will miss her terribly but I know today was the right day while she had no pain. The vet came out and there was no fear. She died in my arms while i told her what a good dog she was.

Thank you to all you good people who advised me. Your help was invaluable to allow her to have a good end to a good life. XX

I think you timed it just right, it's very difficult to know and you can only go with instinct, which when you have lived closely with your beloved pet, is usually spot on.

She must have had a lovely life with you.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

It's never an easy thing to do but it sounds like your judgement was perfect when it came to the timing. I'm glad you found the confidence to trust yourself and go with your instincts.

A friend of mine said something to me which really helped me when my dog died. I too was holding him and talking to him right until the end, and my friend said how good it was that the last thing he saw was 'his beloved mum', not the anonymous walls of some Veterinary surgery.

I hope that soon you will feel able to start enjoying the many lovely, wonderful memories you must have of your times together across the years. She will always live on, in your heart.

All my best wishes.
