    I wish this year was over!  My old girl is really poorly. I’ve got to do the deed, I don’t want to, I really really don’t want to. I hate being an adult!  I am heartbroken.

    Oh L I'm so, SO sorry - it really is the hardest thing to do. Try to hold onto the fact that you have given her the most wonderful life packed with happiness and love, and that making the right decision for her now is a continuation of that. Sending love xx
