Meg's back legs starting giving away this morning and she had a look in her eyes which told me she'd had enough.
We made that dreaded final visit to the vet, she's at peace now, bless her.
I'm so sorry for your loss and know just how you feel after having to do the same for dear old Jetspoon in May.
Rest in peace little Meg now all your pain is gone. xxx
So sorry! it's so very hard to bear, I know, lost my little mate 10 months ago now!........still missing him, but just about able to look back on all the happy times we had together with a smile!............Take Care miss meg..............
So sorry to read this, Wendy - but you know you've done the only thing you could and she'll thank you for it - doesn't make the pain any less, I know - prayers and thoughts for you in this sad time xx
Thank you all for your kind words. I am overwhelmed at how many caring people there are on AB.
Meg, and her sister Susie, who died last year, have been 2 very much loved family members for over 15 years. Yesterdays events have left a huge void.

Friends always told me that a beloved pet would 'let you know' when the time was right. I was terrified that i would be the only person ever not to get it.
Cleo cat really let me know - you DO just know.
You will never forget but the pain gives way to fond memories
I had to make that decision back in February with my shih-tzu. She was kept in overnight at the vet and the next day when I went to see her she licked my face and I knew it was time to say goodbye.
You made the right decision to think of Meg and not yourself.
That is the hardest part of having a pet. Their life just isn't long enough
lottie, cherish Meg it is a beautiful name for a beautiful dogxx
ena (((hugs))) to you as well I know you've been here as wellxx
lumination, so sorry to hear of your loss, it hurts so muchxx
annie, the vet told me 3 weeks ago she'd tell me when she was ready. He was rightxx
maggie, so hard to be brave and put your pet firstxx
steff, just so sad, end of a long era of having dogs in the familyxx
Thanks to all who responded, you are all so kind. Wendyxx
Look up Rainbow Bridge and read it. It's beautiful. I read it when my wee black collie also called Meg was murdered. Someone poured antifreeze on the ground where she walked.
Rainbow filled me with sadness and at the same time joy as I know I will see all my pets one day when my time comes.
Cowboy, that's awful.
Another poster directed me to the Rainbow Bridge poem, very moving.
She died of old age, unlike your pet, I'm grateful for that.
Thanks, Wendyxx
Still in limbo annea, thanks for asking.
House is so quiet, Meg didn't do much in the last few months but she was THERE!!
Didn't realise how much my life revolved round her.
Thanks jeffxx
