Murphys Minder has asked me to post on here as she is not feeling up to it at the moment. Very sadly Saffy did not pick up after her operation as well as had been hoped, she initially refused to eat and then would not drink either, so today MM made the very brave decision to let her go. Saffy went very peacefully :(

Rest in Peace beautiful Saffy, and huge hugs to MM and her family :( xx

Oh my goodnes :( :( I am so very sad and sorry to read this. My thoughts are with MM, and her family.

Rest in peace, Saffy. xxx
 
A very brave decision that we all pray we never have to make.

Rest in peace Saffy. Thoughts to MM and all her family - and, as ever, if I or we as a board can do anything, let us know.

Thank you everyone, and Carey for posting this. After an encouraging improvement yesterday she went down hill again, and was very sick twice. She had another painkiller injection, and having been a kennel dog all her life, spent last night on a duvet in the sitting room whilst I slept (or didn't) on the settee. She didn't pick up over night, although still drinking and going out for a wee, with help, However at lunchtime, she stopped reacting to us, and didn't want to get up so we made the very sad decision to let her go. I don't regret giving her a chance by having the op, but I do bitterly regret the fact she wasn't spayed.:( RIP Saff.
 
So very sorry to hear this sad news. I hope these words may be of some comfort.


If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep
Then you must do what must be done
For this, last battle, can't be won.
You will be sad - I understand
Don't let your grief then stay your hand.
For this day, more than all the rest
Your love and friendship stands the test.
We've had so many happy years
What is to come can hold no fears.
You'd not want to suffer so,
When the time comes, please let me go.
Take me where my needs they'll tend
Only stay with me until the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you too will see
It is a kindness you do to me....
 
So sorry to hear this. FWIW I too would have had the op done and given her that chance. You have the comfort of knowing she was well looked after, kept pain free and nursed to the end. You loved her enough to make the bravest decision when you needed to. Hugs to you x
