Devastated, gutted and heartbroken but the day came when we finally had to say goodbye. Died/PTS in the arms of his family this afternoon. He had a tumor in his spine and lost the use of one back leg and was in a lot of constant pain. This little dog will ALWAYS be our hearts and will NEVER be forgotten and I doubt he could ever be replaced. From the first day to the last he bought love and laughter into our home.

Barney 1993-2007 R.I.P. my angel...you will always be in the thoughts and hearts of your family:

thanks henryhorn, Thistle and MurphysMinder for your sympathies, right now it's just so raw and sad....I know in time we will get over it but right now it seems like it's going to take a very long time to move on.x
 
I'm so sorry Katie; I've been thinking of you as I will be in exactly the same situation at some point in the not too distant future.

It is so sad when our dear little friends leave us. Time helps us to remember them with love and happiness, but right now I know just how you feel.

Really sorry for you. I know how hard it is when we have to let them go, he is at peace now. Huge hugs to you and your family
 
So sorry Katie but it's good Barney had those few extra weeks of spoiling and pampering and then a nice end. Well done for being brave enough to let him go in peace. RIP xx
 
RIP Barney.
I had my beloved cat Suki PTS last week and though I am still having a little cry and miss her like crazy it does get better every day and I'm not expecting to see her in her favourite places every minute. I've still got two other cats and they are a comfort but TBH it's not the same - Suki and I adored one another

But please believe me that time is a healer - tho' I'm in tears writing this now.
Take care

So sorry for you. You wont ever forget him and in time will be able to smile at your memories of him. He was a cute little chap.

RIP BarneyXXX
 
thank you all of you again for the kind words...we have no doubt that we did the right thing for him and I know that in time I will feel better. I know he was mine so i'm biased but he really was the most loveable, cutest and cheekiest little chap xxx
 
so sorry ....it never gets any easier no matter how many dogs we share our lives with ...I wrote this when I lost my old girl 'Folly' two months ago:


I cannot speak, pain blocks up every breath
and sorrow fills my bones and makes them lead
I cannot speak ..all words are drowned in tears
and so I write them down for you instead.
I..who stood between you and the world
who love you from your puphood to old age
who held you close as all your years unfurled
I... could not stop the cancer as it raged
and so I held you close just one more time
when all my desperate prayers had come to naught
I spoke your name and let you slip away
to find the peace and comfort that you sought
Don't ask me how I feel my kindly friends
My eyes are blind with tears....my voice is weak
know this ...my Folly's gone and I am lost
pain blocks up every breath ...I cannot speak.
 
milor that was really beautiful, it really sums up how I feel too...my heart is also breaking right now. Your words really touched me...I am sorry for your loss too. You are right it never gets any easier losing our cherished dogs but it is worth it for all the amazing years that we share with them x
 
Was Barney a Westie?? So cute, I had 2, a dog & a bitch, but sadly lost my dog last year due to a choking accident he was 15 1/2, I still have his sister who is 15 1/2 now. Westies & Cairns are the best, such great characters, little dogs with huge personalities, I cried for ages when my boy died last year he choked to death in front of me and my 4 yr old daughter had to hold me together. I am sure Barney will always have a special part in your heart, as does my Ringo, I keep his ashes in my living room and I wrote a poem about him to help with my greif. I am sure Barney had the best possible life with you and you probably have some wonderfull memories of him.
RIP Barney xxxxx
 
So sorry for your loss. I lost my beautiful yellow lab in 1999 and I still miss her now. When you have that special love for your animals, its a real grieving process. Give yourself time.
You cant replace your little dog but the hurt does get less with time.
 
Just heartfelt hugs from me, to you and your family.

Why does doing the right thing by our animals hurt so damn much?
