I'm so sorry! It's a horrible decision to have to make at any age but for one so young....

She certainly was a beautiful dog and had such a lovely time with you.

I am a lurker but wanted to come on and say how so very sorry I am for your loss. Dogs have the most beautiful souls but are heartbreakers x

Just caught up with this and was so hoping for a better outcome :( JB, Im so, so sorry for your loss. I think Lev said further back, and I echo it, thank you for being there for her when she needed you, both at the beginning and the end. A truly heartbreaking decision to have to make, doubly so for such a young pup, but she knew only happiness with you, those pics are fabulous and its clear she was much loved. A beautiful little pup and now at peace x

There's no easy way to say this, but she's gone. We were referred down to Southern Counties in Ringwood and they assessed her. They said that it was either a tumour or an infection: a tumour would have been inoperable due to its location, and the infection would take weeks of hospitalisation and intravenous ab's with a guarded outcome, so we had to make the hardest decision. I can't believe she's gone, so young, not even 8 months old. I held her in my arms and as she started going, she moved her head to rest it on my arm.

oh JB I am so sorry you poor thing you must be devastated she was so young bless her I am sitting here in tears :( you gave her a lovely life for the short time she was here x

Oh no... :( I had to have my Springer Spaniel put to sleep late last year after her second collapse in as many weeks with an illness that floored her and baffled the vet. Remember holding her in one arm, signing the euthanasia consent form with the other and homing in on “Aged 8yrs, 3months” which made me feel so angry and cheated out of her. Can't even begin to imagine what it must be like to lose yours at just 8-months that's so cruel.

We'll catch up with all the dogs loved and lost one day I'm sure. For now it's only goodnight and God bless xxxx

Thank you all so much for your lovely kind comments. I'm totally discombobulated, neither of us can stop crying.

When we were trying to make the decision, I put a call in to our regular vet who came out of a consult to call me back. He was absolutely lovely, told us we were making the right decision and said to give her a hug from him, he sounded like he was on the edge of tears too. That was the impact she had on everyone she met, hardly anyone could pass us by without saying how beautiful she was, but I guess she was just too beautiful for this world.

I've probably posted most of these before but here's a selection of a favourite few pics of her.

When we first got her

Life is heartbreaking sometimes, but it looks, and sounds, as if she couldn't have had a better life, than the time she was with you. I'm so sorry for your loss. ((((((Hugs))))))

Thank you all for your comments, each and every one of you. I'm so glad you can all see how beautiful she was, I wish her temperament could have been photographed as she really was such a lovely affectionate girl. Everyone who met her absolutely adored her, and we were often stopped when out with her for people to admire her, I guess she was just too good for this world.

She was utterly gorgeous and I am sure you fitted more fun, love and joy into her short life than many dogs have in a lifetime. Take some comfort from that.

My heart breaks for you x

So sorry to hear your news. There are no words for the sadness when such a young dog and their family has to go through these things. You eased her pain and discomfort when she needed you to make hard decisions having given even viable avenue a go and gave her the best life any dog could hope for, a family who loved her.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
