yesterday, some of yous will remember the post 'How do you know its time... to PTS' post yesterday.

After much thought and support from my family, I have decided to have my ned PTS.

Thankyou for all the advice that was given, i feel much more settled in myself about it, and am going to be making teh most of the time we have together. Im going to the vets surgery this week to discuss it (yard is kinda no go cos there would be too many ears, plus i dont want the ned to hear).

It was really hard when the farrier came last night and was commenting on how good he waas to shoe compared to my new horse, and why i couldnt have another horse like him

Sorry for the pointless post x
 
massive hug...

well done on coming to a decision and i hope it all goes smoothly for you...

You are being very brave and your ned will thank you for it in the long run.

Hugs and well done for doing the right thing after a lot of thought, and for doing it this time of year and not waiting until winter kicks in.

Will think of you both and glad that you are resolved.
 
Well done on making a very brave decision. I can't say much to make it better, but know that lots of us have recently and not so recently made this tough decision, and while it is a heart breaking thing to do, time does teach you that it was the right thing.
 
A horrid, and unselfish decision to make but something I often read is "Better a month too early, than a day too late" and I really believe that.

I hope you enjoy your time together and find peace for yourself in the knowledge that you are doing the right thing by your horse. He will have no apprehension or fear when his time comes, I always take small consolation in that fact.

Take Care.
 
This may seem really silly to some, but i think you thinking about it's time, is your horse's way of telling you it's time.

I my be shot down here for saying this, but i know a horse communicator and they told me horses do have a way of putting thoughts into our heads.

My thoughts are with you, it's not an easy choice i know, i had to make it 2yrs ago. Find some comfort in that you are one of the most unselfish persons going by letting your boy go.

Enjoy every day you have left with him.
 
((hugs)) What a tough decision to make, you are very brave. Last year my dog was pts, and it really affected me . A friend sent me this poem and it made me feel better about my decision, I hope it can do the same for you. xxxxx

If it should be that I grow weak
and pain should keep me from my sleep.
Then you must do what must be done,
for this last battle cannot 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 for me must stand the test.

We've had so many happy years,
what is to come can hold no fears.
You'd not want me to suffer so.
The time has come, please let me go.

Take me where my needs they'll tend
and please stay with me until the end.
Hold me firm and speak to me,
until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time that you will see,
the kindness that you did for me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
from pain and suffering I've been saved.

Please do not grieve it must be you
who had this painful thing to do.
We've been so close, we two, these years.
Don't let your heart hold back its tears.
