Oh hell
It may be a few days before I post again.
I had to put Mr. Rascal down today.
He has been wonderful lately, full on terrier but this morning he wouldn't touch his food and I knew he was in kidney failure. We spent the afternoon in his chair with him on my lap and he was peaceful. Then we went into the vet and I held him and he was gone.
My little boy.
Thank you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know you'll miss him more than words can say.
I am so sorry for your loss, Barbara.
Oh, Barbara, I am so sorry about Mr. Rascal. It is so sad when a pet reaches the end. Two years ago my darling dog was nearing the end--I knew it was coming, but didn't know when. When he was ready to go, he died at home and it was heart breaking.
I am so sorry. Those little guys really take up a lot of space in our hearts.
Oh my! I'm sorry for your loss.
Oh, so sorry...no words for the loss....
Barbara, I am so sorry to read this. You comforted him in his hours of need, and I'm sure he appreciated those tender moments shared. Take care.
I am so sorry for your loss. It was wonderful to get to know Mr Rascal a bit through your writing. Go easy on yourself, it is a big loss.
So sorry. This is always so painful and hard. Our animal companions expect us to protect them from pain and suffering; it's a blessing when we are able to do so. But it is still so hard.
I am so sorry. It's so hard to lose them and they leave such a big hole in our hearts when they go.
My heart goes out to you Barb...
I am so sorry. I know you'll miss him.
Hard to loss one of our pets, my heart goes out to you. Keep your memories close as you go through this difficult time
Hugs!!!
Such sad news, I'm very sorry for your loss x
These decsions tear us apart. I've always been amazed in wonderment that animals display personality traits and that they are so different to one another. We had to put our pet down too and it hurts, we have another collie, completely different in temprament but just as loved.
Grief is the price we pay for loving Barbara, twas ever thus.
Warm thoughts to you and yours, xx
The fact that he passed in your arms, with your love tangible, is special and precious. May you treasure the memories.
im Sorry For Your Loss... :(
I'm so sorry for your loss, Barb.
Oh Barbara, I'm so sorry to hear this remember all his wonderful antics.

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you can be held in the arms of loved ones today.
I am so very sorry. Knowing this pain first hand, I truly understand how this hurts. ((( )))
I'm sorry for your loss, but I feel you did the kind thing for him, and it's great that you listened to him and gave him the easiest passing. You were a good human to him, and I'm sure he was a good dog.
So very sorry. It's not easy to lose a furbaby.
My heart is with you :( (another quiet follower). We had to say goodbye to a beloved furbaby recently. There are no words. I am so sorry.
He was a lucky loved dog. And I reckon he knew it. Commiserations from afar xxx
My heart goes out to you. It is so hard. I just went thru this the 27th day of Dec. Try and remember all the good times. Thinking of you.

Oh no! Oh Barbara, I am so, so sorry. I know what a great dog he was and the special relationship you had with him. It is so hard to lose a beloved pet.
Very sorry, Barbara!
So sorry to read of your loss. It is so hard to lose them. I have one that is old and on borrowed time right now and facing up to this will be so difficult I know. I hope I can be there for her like you were for your friend. May the time come soon when you can think of him with smiles instead of tears. You did every thing right for him.
