My sweet girl was PTS on the 8th April after a 2yr battle against GME. Through all the veterinary visits for treatment never once did she show any sign of nastiness or bad temper. I lost count of the number of needles that went into her but she just tolerated it all. She was the sweetest most loving little dog & I loved her more than I can say. My life without her is empty & without purpose. I still can't stop crying I just miss her so much. I held her while it was done, so I just hope the last she knew was me & the love I had for her. How long does this hurt go on.
Rest peacefully my girl. I'll never forget you.

So sorry to hear of your loss.  At least she's suffering no longer, and you will treasure the memories of her life with you forever.

So sorry to hear this. It will hurt and will carry on hurting but the hurt will ease and will be replaced by thoughts of all the happy times you had with her and the joy she brought to your life. She will have known how much you loved her xx

i'm so sorry peanut.

I'm really sorry to hear this peanut. You certainly did your best for your girl. You are bound to hurt for now but as time goes by it does get easier, then you will start to remember the good times.
Run free Cassie

I'm so sorry you have lost your girl. I still have moments of extreme sadness for dogs I lost many years ago, but I also have so many happy memories of the things we did together that the sadness always ends up with me smiling & grateful for being allowed to share their lives.

With each dog, cat or other pet we love & lose we learn something & unconditional devotion is a magical one for me.

Run Free at The Bridge Sweet Cassie, free from pain & illness, playing & waiting until your loving Mum comes to meet you.

Poem for Dog Lovers

Hello. I've been expecting you for quite some time.
Here, come sit beside us for awhile .
and let me tell you about this old friend of mine.
She might look tattered or maybe old
But I won't say goodbye until you've been told.
She had the brightest eyes I had ever seen,
And wore a beautiful fur coat that would out shine a queen .
She was never prissy but walked with an aire ......
And oh so polite, you could take her most anywhere.
She could run like the wind and could catch anything she chased
But she protected and sat with me when I had problems to face.
You could not find a friend nearly so dear.
Because no matter the trouble she always stayed near...
She has never asked for much from me;
Just to love and respect her and I think you'll agree .
To give her a good meal plus a nice warm bed is not much to ask ;
When she has given me all her love and to her this was no task.
Now I understand you have a schedule to keep.
But I have a small favor before she nods off to sleep.
Please fold your wings around her and let her feel young while in no pain ;
Dear Guardian Angel of Pets ,
please keep her safe and happy until I see her again.

Peanut, I'm so sorry, I've just read your posts through floods of tears.  My heart goes out to you and your family.

Just re-reading your post about Cassie. How long does this hurt go on Do you know, I wish I knew, perhaps forever to some degree. I lost my Shola 9 months ago now after battling with Lymphoma, yesterday was a bad day for feeling bad over her loss. I think it just creeps up on you now and again and the loss just hits home again. I believe that when you have had a sick dog that you have battled to keep with us then some how an extra bond is made and the loss is just so much greater. I have since lost an old girl at 14 1/2 and yes, I still miss her and in fact when giving treats out the other night I got out 5 instead of 4 (lost her a couple of months ago) but I don't grieve over her like I did, and still do with Shola. The hurt unfortunately has its own healing time and I am certainly better than I was 8 months ago, but whether that hurt ever goes away completely, i just don't know. The good thing is that you know that she knew that she was wanted and loved and knew that you tried your hardest to keep her healthy and with you for as long as was humanly possible. Take care of yourself.

Hi All. I just wanted to thank you all for your good will messages. It was very kind of you. I am still grieving.  Alison, I think you're so right about a stronger bond if you've nursed a dog for a long time. I have had to have dogs PTS before, and although very sad at the time, I have to say, never has it affected me like the loss of Cassie, everything seems so empty.  Friends have been trying to persuade me to get another dog but somehow I feel a traitor to Cas to even think of it, tho I know in time I will.
I am still spending days crying my eyes out, then i have days when i am not too bad and i'm sure in time the bad days will get less.
Anyway enough of my ramblings, I just wanted to thank you all.

So sorry to hear of your loss of Cassie, although it is still painful for you, eventually you will remember the good times with a smile, she will be forever in your heart,
run free Cassie x

So sorry for your loss.  It is so very hard to loose a special friend.  May Cassie run free at the bridge.
