Hi

Thanks so much everyone, Pets they are such a thing aren't they.

I did feel judge and jury, when I was holding her on Tuesday night I was really hoping she may pass away then but it didn't happen.

It's my guess she had kidney failure, she's been drinking so much over the last two weeks, her hair as well, kind of adds up but don't really know. Her back legs kept going, she'd recover, then it would happen again plus she had a twitch in time with her breathing. But she had heart failure so it must have taken it's toll poor thing.

Ginger has been wandering around the garden all afternoon, sure he knows, they slept on the Sofa together every night, so he'll miss her later even more.

Big Ron is more independant and although he's been looking around, he's more himself.

Oh well, so we go on.

Many thanks again, I'm sure you'll understand I can't find it within myself to post anywhere else today.

Sorry to hear your sad news, Richard, but you are a true animal lover to ease her pain by knowing when to let her go. RIP Mimi and have fun at Rainbow Bridge.

Know exactly what you mean by feeling like an executioner. {hug} {hug}

Jack our Shire had to come back home the other day and he went straight to Daisy's stable, whinnied and sniffed then walked away. The day he left here, Daisy was pts and unfortunately he didnt get to see her after the deed, but he still knew.

Hi Richard
Sorry to hear the sad news about Mimi, you really are getting put through the mill just now and my heart goes out to you. I know you are the same as me and just how important your pets are to you. So when one of them leave us it leaves such a huge hole both in our life and our hearts. Hopefully things will soon start to improve but take care and all I can say is that you are in our thoughts.

Alex.

Thanks again everyone.

Eck - I could see that when I was with you, a good man )t'

Lovely to light a candle benny {hug}

Regret a night's sleep doesn't cure all does it, just trying to get to grips with there was nothing anyone can do about anything or anyone getting older.

Ginger's alseep on my bed, he hasn't done that for almost a year I reckon, he's still sitting by the cat flap in the hall though.
I think that's another thing when you have more than one pet. If you have one and they say goodbye it's only you grieving if you like, but to see a pet grieving is so much worse.

Time passes on.

Sorry to hear about Mimi, Richard. It's always me who has to take animals for the last ride - and it never gets any easier. We all know that you made the decision in Mimi's best interests and I'm sure we'll all remember you (and the other pets) tonight.

Bless.
