{{{hugs}}} The hardest thing to do for a much loved pet. I would do the same and have insisted on a home visit for PTS.

 

[Thistle]

It's what I prefer, unless the dog really loves an outing, in which case a trip in the car is great. The poor old girl has has a couple of hospital stays which left her extremely anxious at the vets, even to the extent she knew the route in the car. She got a bit confused in her last few days, I didn't want to add to this.

I'm happy I made the right decision at the right time. R.I.P. Hera

I was thinking of you all day yesterday Thistle xxx

 

[Alec Swan]

Thistle, your dog was indeed fortunate that she had an owner who saw their responsibility through to the very end. It must be so much easier to walk in and leave the old lady with the vet, rather than consider her well being and face what's always difficult. You thought of the dog, rather than yourself and you're due respect.

Thinking about it, would it be easier to abandon the dog and leave her to strangers with the attendant stress? Not for some it wouldn't, for some it would be unthinkable and you're one such owner. I applaud you, and feel that you are entitled to take pride in your honourable approach.

Alec. xx - in place of a hug.

Alec, thank you, I always like to think that the last person any of my animals see is one they know and trust, I couldn't bear to think of it any other way. Horses are also pts at home, either by injection or gun, depending on the animal. I'm a bit of a softie and always make room for an animal to live out their days until it's time to help them along a bit, it's my way of thanking them for all they do for me.

As hard and heartbreaking as it is, I just could not imagine not being there for those final seconds. We owe it to our animals to be brave for them.

Completely agree with this. Sounds like you did the absolute best for your girl Thistle. She was a very lucky pooch
