Hi I know I havent been on here for a while but just needed a place to put my feelings down. Today we had to make the very difficult decision to let our darling Bobby go. He was 12 years old and we were lucky enough to have had him since he was 6. He had very bad arthritis in is back legs and was having difficulty in getting up. He was on steroids and other pain relief. As of the weekend he stopped eating, he stopped trying to get up.... This morning he went out to the toilet and ended up sitting in what he was doing?? My heart broke and even though we already had decided to go to the vets I knew that we were doing the right thing. What a hard hard thing to do. Bob was my first dog, he was a nervous wreck when he came to us, he only trusted people that he knew very well. He grew to love and trust us and became a much more confident dog. He lost all his teeth, his tongue always hung out but he loved life!!! He coped with everything that life threw at him and that really humbled me. I dont know how my life will ever be the same. I still have two dogs, Emma and Millie that still need me so I guess I have to continue. I just hope that Bobby is happy and pain free wherever he is and that he can forgive us for having to let him go.... We will always love you Bob, you were a very special dog and I hope you are happy. Love you darling forever xxxxxxxxxxx

Oh Catherine you were so brave to let Bobby go, it's heartbreaking but it's the last loving thing we can do for our beloved companions. I'm sure he will be grateful that you were able to release him from his pain.
Bobby was a very handsome dog, thank you for sharing his photo with us.
You have 6 years of precious memories - and one day soon you will be able to look back and remember just the happy times.
Thinking of you and sending ((((Hugs))))
