Devasted I have to make a decision tomorrow.

I think sometimes it is better to keep busy...as being around the place u expect her to be.....makes u feel really sad and the tears start to flow again

I think I have to go tonight also, I didn't sleep at all last night as I knew she was whining downstairs and in pain.
Thanks for all your support everyone, I never realised how hard it would be when the time came.
I hope she realises I'm doing for her best.
 
Claire, I think you have made the right decision, but I really feel for you and will be thinking of you tonight. I have to say that when I have had to make a decision like this, although of course it is heartbreaking to lose your dog in a way it is almost a relief, after all the agonising. I hope that makes sense and doesn't sound callous. And just a thought, if you feel you can't face being with her at the end, DON'T feel you are a bad owner, ask your OH to stay with her if necessary. Sending you loads of hugs. xx

Believe me she will feel nothing but relief. I would tend to stay with her as it's too late to change your mind once she's gone and I felt gulty for not being there years ago with one of mine. Whatever makes you comfortable though. She will be at peace however you deal with it best. x
 
I have added this poem - i hope it doesnt make you sad, it really helped me with my dog and gave me strength to do the right thing.

May I go now?
Don't you think the time is right?
May I say goodbye to pain-filled days and endless lonely nights?
I've lived my life and tried my best, an example I tried to be.
Can I take the step beyond and set my spirit free?
I didn't want to go at first, I faught with all my might!
But something seems to draw me now to a warm and loving light.
I want to go! I really do! It's difficult to stay.
But I will try as best as I can to live just one more day____
To give you time to let me go and share your love and fears.
I know you are sad and afraid because I see the tears.
I'll not be far, I promise that, and hope you'll always know
that my spirit will be close to you wherever you may go.
Thank you for loving me. You know I loved you too.
That's why it's so hard to say goodbye and end this life with you.
So hold me now, just one more time, and let me hear you say
Because you care so much for me, you'll let me go today.
