My little old lady Tammi, will be put down in half hour! We have had her now for 15 nearly 16 years, and she has grown old gracefully. But the time has come where she has loved life and is now struggling too much! She had bad arthritis and her mouth needs an operation, but if she goes under anasthetic there's a very good chance she will die. So we have come to this extremely hard decision and I will say goodbye for the last time today! I have already cried heaps, and will cry much much more for a while. I will miss her so much, she has been family since I was 7. I love you so much baby dog. I will never forget you, and neither will Sasha. (Our other dog) Unfortunatly we can't tell Sasha what's going to happen, but she will be present I'm sure when it happens! I'm sorry dog, love you heaps and heaps!!! Goodbye.

Ok, she has now gone and we've said goodbye. So many tears! She was so peaceful, we had it done at home so she would be ok, most dogs hate she vets! She has been buried in our garden and has a little plaque in her memory. Bye baby! I love you!

Really sorry to hear about your dog. I can actually sympathise with what you're going through. I had to make the decision to have had dog Sam put down a few years ago. We also did it here at home and he has a nice headstone in the garden where he is buried. It's nice that he will always be close to us.

Anyway, chin up, your dog had a good life, you can't ask more than that

Yeah, she had a great life. Even though me being a kid back then tortured her with dress ups and painted nails!!!! Poor old thing! But now she's happy, running after her ball on the beach! Thanx for the support.

It seems not fair that we as humans have a life span that is ten fold what a dog lives. It's hard to watch a loving pet age quickly before your eyes and I think in many ways we see ourselves following in those footsteps. Just remember the good times and take comfort that you gave your pet a good life while he or she was here....

Yeah. Thanx so much guys. My other dog has been such a comfort, and me to her. She slept in my bed last night and cuddled me for an hour. Poor thing, the has been a little quiet. But she gets tripple the attention now! Tammi(she) was a beautiful old thing that gave so much love, and it's a lesson in life as I haven't lost anyone dear to me yet.
