Hamish my little westie is now running free and out of his discomfort, i had to have him PTS yesterday as his lung disease had got worse and i felt that after all the tests and investigations he has had done at the specialists that the time had come to let him go, the lactic acid levels had got better on the vivitonin but the oxygen in his blood from his lung disease had got worse and the specialist said we were fighting 1 thing and making another thing worse, he said we were going round and round in circles and not actually getting anywhere to help him.
I felt that he had fought long and hard enough to stay with us and that i had done everything i could in my power to cure him but at the end of the day what he needed to make him better just wasn't possible.
Its the hardest decision i have ever had to make and i feel like i have lost my best friend in the whole world as we were so close and he meant the world to me.
I will never forget you boy you were such a loyal and loving friend to me and i hope and pray that you are now out of pain and enjoying the life you were so meant to have just unfortunately it was not with me on this earth, enjoy your life and i will see you again i know i will, i love you so much and just wish i could cuddle you and tell you that i love you.
Be at peace now my baby
Your loving Mum

I'm so sorry that there wasn't to be a better outcome. You did everything you could to give Hamish a good quality of life but sadly it wasn't to be.

Sleep well, Hamish.

You did everything you could and more Helen; sometimes these things are not meant to be. 

God Bless You...((((Hugs))))....

Run free little Hamish.....

Helen,
I haven't posted throughout your other threads but have followed your journey with great concern and empathy. Despite all of his ailments, Hamish was a very lucky boy to have a Mummy like you Helen - you have been amazing. I am so sorry that after all of your effort, the outcome for Hamish wasn't the one we have all prayed for. I'm sending you loads of love and through my tears I have a little smile thinking of Hamish running free 'alive' again with no more suffering.
R.I.P little Hamish - a special little boy who will never be forgotten. xx

Run free little one ....

Hamish will be at the bridge, restored to full health and vigour, waiting for Helen. Goodnight, God bless little man.xx

I've followed a lot of your problems through your other threads, I'm so sorry to hear this news.

What a brave and courageous person you are Helen. It wasn't an easy journey for you or Hamish but your life will have been made so much richer by sharing it with your special lad. You had the courage to know when the time had come to say enough, no more, and let him slip away with peace and dignity.

He will always remain in your heart x

so sorry to hear this, I have followed your thread throughout.  massive ((((((hugs)))))) to you at this difficult time

Helen

You tried so hard for Hamish and did everything youcould, like you said he will now be running free and without pain,

RIP Hamish and best wishes to you,

A Glimpse Of The Rainbow Bridge
by Jean L. Mowry-Everett

Was it today; yesterday; a week; a month ago?
There are no days; there are no nights since my furchild died.
I reach to pet my furry friend who is no longer here.
My heart is broken; my arms are empty; how many tears I've cried.
I leave the house, into the lane we always walked together.
The rain is falling. I notice not. Just more tears on my face.
She used to lead me down the lane. Her spirit leads me still.
But we go a different way to a very strange and different place.

I stand before a rustic bridge I've never seen before.
I stop. I know I'm not to cross. But why, I want to know.
And then the rain suddenly stops. I look up into the clouds.
I look down. The bridge is gone and in its place is a rainbow.

I look across the Rainbow Bridge and see a joyful sight;
Thousands of healthy furchildren playing with my beloved pet.
I want to run and love her, but I'm rooted to the spot.
She looks and wags her tail and I hear her bark, "Not yet."

And then her bark turns to a voice and I hear her say,
"You cared for me, you played with me and loved me to the end.
I'm healthy now, don't cry for me. I'll meet you here again.
Others need your love and care. I'm sending you a friend."

I rub my eyes and the rainbow is again a rustic bridge.
I send a prayer for that quick glimpse to the loving God above.
I hear a noise and glance back down. I can't believe my eyes.
Across the bridge, my darling pet sent a furbaby for me to love.

I pick up the furry bundle, hold her close to my dampened cheek.
She nuzzles my neck, kisses my tears. It's true love at first sight.
Not to replace the one who's gone; another who needs my love and care.
My eyes are drawn upward to see a Rainbow Bridge in radiating light.

Thank you so much, Helen, for your message re Luke. You have gone so much more than the extra mile for Hamish, no-one could have done more. It's devastating when a beloved dog has to leave us. We'll cry together in our sorrow and sadness, and remember the happy times we had, too, and all the love they gave us.

I was so sorry to see Hamish's name when I looked tonight. Like some others, I never added to your posts, as I couldn't offer any help, but have followed your fight to save him all the way through. You gave everything you could including blessed rest when the time was right. Many tears shed for little Hamish, including mine.

Hugs - Kat

My heart goes out to you dear Helen.You could not have done any more

Good-nite and God Bless Hamish ...until that day you will be reunited 
 
                                                                          


                      

So sorry Helen.  No one could have done more for Hamish then you did.

Thinking of you
Sandra

So sorry for your loss,
Mary

Sorry Helen....Hamish was a very special dog and from your posts it is easy to see how much you loved and cared for him. He is now at peace and free from pain - you have gone through one of the hardest things ever but you did the right thing and Hamish will love and thank you for it. My thoughts are with you at this sad time - you will however meet Hamish again ... one day !

Hi All

Thank you to everyone that posted about Hamish your thoughts and kind wishes mean so much and i know Hamish would have appreciated all your support aswell. He is now at peace and enjoying his new life with all his other furrie friends and hopefully having the time of his life because he certainly deserved it after all the things he had been through, i know i will see him again someday and will remember all the good times i had with him until then.
Sleep tight Hamish you know Mum loved you and did all she could but the fight was too hard to save you in the end so i had to do what was best for you, it hurts like mad now you are gone and i miss you terribly but i know you are now safe and not suffering and thats what counts, the pain i feel is nothing to what you have been through over the past year and if you could get through it then i know you will help me aswell.
Love you boy
