I am currently snuggled up in my bed with my beloved 14 year old Border Terrier trying very hard to be brave and typing through the tears.

I have owned Rita since she was a 6 week old puppy and I was 15 we have through so much together she has been my best friend and constant companion from a feisty puppy to the gentle old lady she has now become. She has healed my heart through all the heart breaks a ternage girl to adult woman suffers and been there for many firsts, first house, first job, first car etc.

Today I came home to be told by my Dad that Rita had been found in a pool of diarrhoea collapsed and unable to stand. She has been urine incontinent for months and her backlegs are very weak. I knew this day would eventually come and she would leave me behind so today at 6pm she will make her last journey.

Words can't describe how much it hurts I would give anything to just have one more day with her but this is the last thing I can do for my best friend. I know the end has come.

I will forever be grateful for the day my parents let me get Rita she is my first love and I will spend the rest of my days thinking about and missing her.

Thank you Rita for bring the best thing that ever happened to me and always being there for a cuddle and kiss xxx
 
Bless you, didnt want to read and run - big hugs, there is nothing worse than losing your best bud but you are doing the best for her and being there.

I lost my dog nearly a year ago and it still hurts to this day but it does get easier and slowly smiles appear instead of tears when you think of them.

Big hugs xxx
 
I'm very sorry you have reached this point. Don't forget you are doing this because you love her and it is the kindest thing you can do.
 
I am so sorry to hear this, it is heartbreaking to have to make this decision but it is the last thing we can do to show how much we love them. In time you will be able to look back at all the good memories you have of Rita and smile, but it hurts like hell for a long time before you can reach this stage.
 
So sorry to read this. You are doing the right thing by her and repaying her for all the love she has shown you.

The only downside to owning dogs is knowing this day will come :(

Big hugs xxxx
 
So sorry to read this. My beloved doggy was put to sleep a while back now. He was only 7. He had stomach cancer which was blocking his bowel. We did everything we could for him but he was suffering so we made the decision. We had him cremated and he is in my parents garden. It was very sad as he was my childhood friend and I cried a lot. Enjoy your last bit of time together and rest easy kowing your precious doggy is no longer suffering. xxx
 
So sorry to read this, all I can say is that your pain will get better when you think of her and today, and you know you're doing the last, kindest thing for her. x
 
I am so sorry. No words can make you feel any better, you just need to grieve for her. Like you say, she has been there for you through thick and thin and this is now time to repay her for her love and loyalty, hard as it is. Big hugs. xxxx
 
it never gets easier but it is the last kindness we can do for our loved ones...hugs and best wishes for you and hope you will soon be able to remember her and smile.....time is a great healer....
 
Im very sorry to read this, they give us so much pleasure but we pay the price when we lose them. Ive lost quite a few dogs over the years and it never gets any easier but what memories. Hugs to you x
 
Thank you so much for all the virtual hugs and support it really means alot to know thst people out there understand. She is at peace now and we had a lovely day cuddling up together as we had when she was a puppy. I know I have done the right thing. I just hope one day we will be reunited again in one way or another. It was an honour to have had such a special friend in my life.
 
So sorry. When my old GSD became acutely ill this March, I knew immediately she needed to be pts and that the long and happy road we had, like you, been on for nearly 14 years together had come to a parting of the ways. We went to her beloved vet and she calmly and very quietly left me behind. She and your lovely dog had good lives with loving and careful owners who took best care of them to the end. They, and you and I were so fortunate to have had each other. Take best care of yourself. Lots of love.
 
Biggest hugs & know we are all here for you and thinking of you..sleep tight Rita. I hope you are ok...lots of sweet tea/cake/sugar for shock :-(xxx
 
My greatest condolences to you. Having gone through the loss of a beloved dog earlier this year,I sympathise. It's tough at first but it becomes easier as the weeks go by but they never leave your heart. I hope my boy is up there,chasing squirrels and eating Sunday roast scraps,with his big brother who we lost 6years before, until I see them again:) RIP Rita. Hugs(())
 
Sorry to hear that - some people can't understand the sense of loss and pain of losing a pet. In here we all can releate - my heart goes out to you.

RIP little border terrorist - the world is emptier without you.
