Lovely Lily aged 7 had to be put to sleep this morning after diagnosis of a tumour on her oesophagus. She had been unable to keep any food down and went to sleep wagging her tail.
We have got Poppy our retriever, but Lily was special. It's the little nudges which start me off. My mum would have said, pull yourself together. I will soon.

Very sad news, it’s a time us dog owners dread but I imagine she had a happy life and gave you some great memories, R.I.P Lily.

Very hard when we lose a pet and even harder when we have to make that decision too early in their lives.

I'm so sorry.
The vet said to me when I had to have my cat pts, it's the quality of life a pet has that matters and I'm sure Lily had the best life ever with you.

Run free Lily over the rainbow bridge and enjoy a big juicy steak. My sincerest sympathy. I understand how you feel. Big hugs.

Sorry to hear of your loss - I’ve always found solace in these words when losing one of ours over the years

“Dogs come into our lives to teach us about love, they depart to teach us about loss. A new dog never replaces an old dog, it merely expands the heart. If you have loved many dogs your heart is very big.” – Erica Jong

Pets aren't just inanimate objects, the are part of the family and often are with you more than any other member of the family so when they go it can be devastating but all too often we are expected not to be too upset as it was 'only a dog' etc ... but we all know better than that and feel their loss very hard.

So don't you dare try to 'pull yourself together' ... for the sake of others, it's none of their business how you deal with the loss ... make sure you grieve otherwise it will constantly upset you and make you feel guilty.
