That's it ..... Early this morning my little doggy has gone...Réglisse (Licorice) was 15 years old. His kidneys couldn't do their job anymore and i had to take a decision before it became too painfull for him.
Hard stuff indeed, but that was the last love gesture i could do for him.

He has gone smoothly and peacefully,with confidence, in my arms with my cuddles and kisses. So all my wishes for his "departure" were fullfilled.... Rest in peace my little one..:Sad:

Frankie.

Sorry to hear about your little dog.
At least you could make his passing painless, I think that as pet owners we owe them this service, for the years of devotion that they give us. I know how you feel have been in this position myself.


My thoughts are with you at this time.

It is so sad when a loved one passes on, but it was his time and luckily he had you to make sure he suffered no more. I know how hard it was for you, but you know it was the right thing to do. My thoughts and best wishes are with you.:Sad:

Oh Frankie I'm so sorry to read that, I don't think people who've never owned a dog really know what kind of a bond you build with them. It's a terrible hard decision but it's the right one when they are suffering so much. He will be waiting for you at the bridge and in the meantime run free little one.

Sorry to hear your sad news Frankie,

As dog owners/llovers our selves we know how hard it is to make that final decision, but it sounds like you have made the right one in not prolonging his suffering

15 is a good age for any dog, and i know he will have had a good life with you and the kids when they were all younger

it may take a while for the hurt to subside, but you will always remember him with foundness we're sure

So sorry to hear about your dog Frankie, ours died in O/H's arms in February aged 12 and 1/2 and it is so hard to bear, but you did the best thing for him, and he's now running at Rainbow Bridge free from pain and happy.

You still have your memories of Liquorice and pictures which will last forever and will always bring a smile to your face.

You ended his suffering and set him free from pain.

I also had to do the same with my last pet dog Shep. Heartbreaking.

I now have 3 dogs to give my love and kisses to.

Take care Frankie

I am sorry to hear your bad news. At least you do have the choice with a dog and you can be kind to them. Your dog is a precious part of your family and I really am feeling for you at this sad time x

Thanks ever so much to all, for you nice posts, it helps a great deal... Just come back from my sister's farm.She has a nice piece of land (i only rent my house and garden). So my little Réglisse is now in his last home surrounded by flowers, birds and butterflies. He'll be fine...

Frankie, I don't really know what to say, except that you are in my thoughts.

A beloved pet is as difficult to leave as any other loved one, and I know from experience that losing a pet can be a devastating experience.

I hope the ache dulls soon, and that you might replace little 'Liquorice', but you will still love him forever.

A man and his dog were walking along a road.

The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He remembered dying, and that the dog had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them. After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble.

At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight. When he was standing before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother of pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side. When he was close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?"

"This is heaven, sir," the man answered.

"Wow! Would you happen to have some water?" The man asked.

"Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up." The man gestured, and the gate began to open.

"Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog, "come in, too?" The traveller asked.

"I'm sorry; sir, but we don't accept pets."

The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going.

After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road which led through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.

"Excuse me!" He called to the reader. "Do you have any water?"

"Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there" The man pointed to a place that couldn't be seen from outside the gate. "Come on in."

"How about my friend here?" The traveller gestured to the dog.

"There should be a bowl by the pump."

They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. The traveller filled the bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog. When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree waiting for them.

"What do you call this place?" The traveller asked.

"This is heaven," was the answer.

"Well, that's confusing," the traveller said. "The man down the road said that was heaven, too."

"Oh, you mean the place with the Gold Street and pearly gates? Nope.

That's hell."

"Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?"

"No. I can see how you might think so, but we're just happy that they screen out the folks who'll leave their best friends behind."

Frankie......I'm so sorry for your loss Ruth and I had a Golden Retriever dog called "Chuck" who was part of our family for 15 years. One morning when I got up for work he had a stroke had we had to have him " put to sleep "

Now there is a plaque to his memory with his name inscribed on it in his favourite part of the garden where he used sit and watch the world go by.

We know how you feel
