It is done.

[Oberon]

We spent the last couple of hours together in the sunshine this morning.

He would wander along eating the tasty grass on the verge, and then wander back over to me to tell me to scratch his belly

The vet arrived and my good friend, Fiona, hovered by me for support and to take over if I wanted to walk away.

The vet sedated him and I rubbed his head and kissed him goodbye.

Then I handed him over to Fiona and walked away. I just couldn't watch him drop.

The last memory I have is him looking at me to see what treat I was going to get for him

Fiona and the vet told me he just sank down and went to sleep in the sun.

It was peaceful.

Beautiful photo. So sorry for you but glad all went well.
Sleep tight, Obi. xxx
(the sun shone on my old boys final morning last year - then it rained solidly for a month; somehow i took comfort in that as I know the mud would have hastened his decline).
