After a horrible few weeks I have finally made the phone I have been dreading.
Tobi will be going to heaven on Friday at 10am.Words cannot express how I feel and I am not sure if I will cope.
My OH will be there for him as I just can't bring myself to be there myself which I feel so guitly about.

I love you Tobi and am so sorry for this,please forgive me.I don't want you to suffer anymore.I love you more than words can say.You are my life and I really don't know what I am going to do without you.We have had so many up's and downs but you never failed to make me smile.Hope to see you again one day.xxxxxxxx

Huge hugs hun. I know how hard it is, we lost our wee man in September. My Dad was with him at the end. Just remember you ARE doing the right thing, don't ever doubt that. xxxxx
 
Phew, having been in your situation my heart goes out to you and I can't begin to say how brave you are to have done it, just know that you are doing the right thing.
I was with my wonderful Mabel when I had her PTS and although I knew I had to be there as we'd been together for 21 years it still haunts me to this day so you've made the right decision, huge hugs!!
I'm just so sad for you!!!!
 
I am sorry to hear of your decision, at the end of the day we do what is right for our horses. I do not know the story but feel so sorry for you to have to make this decision
 
My OH was there when my mare was PTS she had gone down to my vets for the last week had spent so much time there it was like a second home to her.......I did go with him(my OH) to say good bye,so that she knew I was near....do not feel guilty it is a bl**dy hard thing to do,took me 6 months of worrying and my health was badly affected.......as the other's say I do not know your full story,but, to come to the conclusion that you have it will be for all the right reasons and right for Tobi,trust me I know,but, so very hard and tough....I will be thinking of you both Friday.....so sad.
 
I am so sorry to read this... as i don't know your suitation but what ever it is IT is for the best... Brave decision... I have been there. My mare was PTS few years ago after 3 years of trying to get her right and she was getting miserable, Best to let them go with dighty. I wasn't there at the end (couldn't do it) but the yard owner was and before the time i gave her so much apples carrots and polos.

Tobi forgives you. Try remember him as he was

I am sure you are doing the absolute best for him. Know how you feel exactly. Hugs, big hugs
 
Thank you so much for all your support.
I haven't posted on the forum about his problems so that is why people are probably not aware of what has happened.
Tobi is 20 now and had quite a hard life before I got him.He's "high mileage"so to speak.
He has had ongoing problems with arthritis,COPD and tendon trouble for 3 years now.I had noticed a few odd changes in him lately so called the vet to check him over.The vet confirmed my fears.He is blind in his right eye and only has slight sight in his left.Bi-lateral cataracts is the correct term I think.The offer of laser treatment is there but I know he wouldn't cope at his age with such invasive treatment.
Also as much I hate to say it I do think he is quite depressed too.He has never liked winter and I feel he is unhappy.
Again thank you so much for you hugs etc.xx
 
I'm so sorry. Huge hugs to you; you're doing the right thing. Don't feel guilty for not being there- far berrter you say goodbye and leave without upsetting him because you're upset. He dosen't know what's going to happen.
 
Huge hugs to you, I had to make this decision a few months ago with my lovely old girl after 11 years together. He will thank you for it once he's up there.

Big hugs to you, it's the nicest thing you can do for your animal, setting them free at the expense of your own heart.

I am so sorry. I had to make the dreaded call in October 2005 about my 34 year old pony. It is horrible but you are doing the right thing for him, I have to say I am relieved my old girl isn't having to put up with all this awful weather. Do not feel guility about not being with him at the end. My vet says he prefers if the owner is not present as their distress often transfers to the pony. Hugs to you.
 
Big big hugs coming your way. Don't feel guilty you have made the right choice, all be it a very hard one. It's the best thing for him. Let him go with dignity
RIP Tobi

You know my thoughts on it - I have NO doubt at all that you are doing the right thing for him, but I totally understand how hard it will be for you.

It is a year this week since I lost Will so I know all too well what you are going through, but take it from someone who has come out the other side, I promise it will get so that you can smile at the memories instead of welling up every time you think of them.

You're in my thoughts, and you know I'm only a PM away,
