So sorry to hear that kate, I cried for days when I had my old gentleman cat put down. I still miss him. If he was old and ill its the kindest thing to do.

Never understood the relationship between owner and dog, until you get one...

Sweetheart, thinking of you, you did the right thing. ♥

son slinky is in his room very upset,and it upsets me to see him like this i just want to cuddle him,but i'm trying to give him space to grieve in his own way.

Kate you did him proud - and you made the most compassionate decision today by letting him go...im sad for you but rex had a good Mum (()) x

[ruthann58]

so sorry to read this kate , you have given him every chance and did the best thing for him at the end sending you a hug and one for your son as well xx

[slinky.kate]

2 sons,ex-hubby and me all took him and stayed to the very end,i think thats all he could have asked of us.

[Dris]

Yip you did well -a lot of humans dont have that luxury so as upsetting as it is I would feel comforted that he passed away with loving people beside him to help him x

Thinking of you all, and especially Rex, who is now at peace.

[brenda]

Am so sorry for your sad loss, will be thinking of you.

[anneasquith]

kate, we know rex has been ill for some time. i know you have made the right decision for him. hows your son ?

Losing your pet is like losing a member of the family. After Tara left us for a while we were lost, she was just always there. The only consolation was knowing we had stopped her suffering although it was still very hard. The vet too,had suggested all sorts of tests, but after 15 years I think we knew her better and couldn't watch any longer as she gasped for breath. I'm sure you did the right thing - because you loved him.

Thinking of you kate, we're here if you need us.
