Sorry to hear this Sally:(
Run free Chezz
So sorry for your loss 
Run free Chezz!
I always wish I had some kind of words that would take the hurt away. I am so very sorry for your loss.

The hurt will go and be replaced with happy memories which are legion. But not immediately. Its still very raw. Bournemouth next day was dreadful. But friends I met on the Show car-park were wonderful. And its great to be among friends here..
We've lost so many over the years and they are all special - Chezz was specially special, possible cos we didn't breed her, she seemed to ask to come and live with us when first I and then Marvin visited a litter our Curly had sired.
I have to stop looking at Plessy who had her 15th birthday the day Chezz died and wondering 'WHY Chezz ?' It isn't Plessy's fault.
Thank you

It's tough to accept sometimes and especially for her dog family.
Condolences on your loss.
I was so sorry to hear of your loss Sally. It's difficult to know what to say. My thoughts are with you.
We had to have one of our dogs put to sleep who had a tumour at the age of 13 1/2 and then a year to the day, Elsa was born!

Chezz was way too young, my heart aches for you and your family at this sad time. Hopefully the many happy memories will flood your mind and lessen the pain. My sympathy to you all.

Sally I am so sorry to hear about your great loss.
Know that Chezz is running in the fields and playing like a pup again on the other side of the bridge.
I'm so sorry; 10 is way to short a time span. I hope you can find peace sometime soon.
O am so sorry for your loss
I wish you all the strength you need, and remember: those who live within us are not truly gone.
I'm sending well wishes to you and hope that you soon find fond and happy memories that sooth you through this sad time.
Rest peacefully Chezz and we hope to meet you over the bridge some day; all of us (2 and 4 legged) pain free, healthy, watching a spectacular b500 and the gutting of a few toys for good measure.
Condolences Sally.

Hugs my friend, hugs, hugs, hugs.

So sorry for your loss.
Sally, so sorry to hear about Chezz! I'm sure she will be sorely missed, sending hugs to you and the family.
We were very sorry last weekend to hear about your loss Sally.
I always think that the one great thing we can do for our dogs is have the power to put their suffering to an end - i have had to do it 3 times in the last 2 years (all dobes over the age of 12) - and it never gets any easier.
I'm so sorry for your loss….
Lots of hugs..
I am so sorry for your loss…((hugs)) to you and your family in this difficult time...

You are so right. I did wish, with Curly, that for once nature would take its course and that we would come down one morning to find he had quiet gone his own way but it was not to be.
For him, Janet came to the house (our Vet always does that) but she brought a nurse withher and the nurse kind of elbowed Marvin and I out of the way. We hated that. We have always cuddled our dogs as they depart on their last journey from under the cherry tree where they spend most of their waking hours, lying in the sunshine.
This time I asked for NO NURSE, and Ian came on his own. It was much easier.
In all these years, none of ours has gone without help and knowing for sure exactly when to take the decision is not always easy.
Thank you all again,

Sally, you are so right, knowing the right time is so diffucult, but after losing my 3 over the last year, you know in your heart… I just fear sometimes I waited a day to long...
I feel the same way as you... that I wished for my Mickii that she would just not wake up and just quietly pass over the bridge... same as you.. it was not meant to be... and it was only 5 days after we lost OJ....
Last April when I lost Nika I was hoping she would pass in her sleep at home but it wouldn't happen and she just got too bad off to wait for that to happen. I waited too long with my first and I feel bad about it 17 years later.
