Lucy, aka Loose
What was originally thought to be a treatable inner ear infection ended up being a tumour. She took a turn for the worse and apparently the humane thing to do was to put her to rest.
I'm absolutely gutted, she was one of the sweetest cats you could ever hope to meet. She was always extremely vocal, and would start purring loudly if you so much as looked at her.
RIP Lucy:(

I'm so glad I've found somewhere to say this; Our cat Mojo died during the night and I miss him so much - I'm in pieces typing this. I am so glad that I have found somewhere to say all this. He was only two, and we think that he had eaten something poisoned - he was sick on Wednesday night and just went downhill from there. We just were not expecting him to die. He had a habit of just going walk about during the day and coming back at night - so we have no idea what he was up to or where and with who!!! We buried him in the back garden and planted a lavendar bush on top in his favourite bird watching spot. R.I.P Mojo.

My mother's dog Snowy had to be put to sleep today. He was dying of lymphoma for the last couple of months and was in pain for the last couple of days. She was on the phone to me at lunch time crying, and I had a tear in my eye too - and I am a 42 year old man!!
I bought him as a little Westie terrier pup back in March 1995 for my parents. He has always been a great little character and friendly and bubbly. Most of the grandkids in our family have never known the house without Snowy. He was 13 and 1/2 years old so i guess he had a pretty good innings for a dog of his breed.
My father passed away suddenly 5 years ago, and he was really his dog, so it is especially hard on my mother as he was a link to my father and also great company as she lives alone. But she wasn't alone today. My sis-in-law and 2 kids were with her, all crying their eyes out as he was loved so much. They buried him up the back garden near a hedge. She is going to get a little cross with his name on it and hang his collar and name tag on it.
Jesus I am filling up here again typing this at work
:eek:
Here's a shot of him in his golden retirement years (hope I managed to attach it ok) about 6 months ago. He had slowed down a lot, but always had the big welcome when you'd visit, no matter how long it had been since he had seen you.
What is particularly upsetting for me was the memories of coming home after a few pints and having a big chat with him in the kitchen at 2 in the morning, telling him all my troubles, and he sitting on my lap listening away. Sounds crazy I know but he could almost talk to you he was so smart
Also my little 2 year old son loved taking him for walks round the yard on his lead in the last couple of months. It's a pity that he won't get to do that anymore.
He will be sadly missed, not just by my family, but all the family friends and neighbours at home, as he was a marvellous little character and was dearly loved.
Bye bye Snowy, you gave us more than you will ever know lad

Had to make the most difficult decision of my career today. My darling best friend for the last 12yrs has to leave tomorrow. A few months ago she had a accident, she was hit by a car and had a bad injury on her hind foot, we tried to save it but it was too damaged and we had to amputate her leg. She has done well, at the beginning slipping a but and taking her time getting around but after a bit she was moving well.
She has always been such a loving girl, all the kids on the road know her, grew up with her and then when my brothers and sisters had kids she was great with them. They actually learned to walk hold onto her.
But in the last month she has just not been the same. I had started her on medication for pain, she was getting a little stiffer and slower. And more recently she started to snap at people and she has bitten someone, today i found out three times. She has also snapped at my neice and tonight my mum. The medication isnt working. She is in pain, she is uncomfortable and unhappy. Putting a muzzle on her and keeping her away from the kids is not an option as it is unfair to her, and i can't risk that she will bite someone and the decision will be taken away from us.
I have spoken to my boss and medically there is nothing more we can do. My heart is broken. If someone told me there is something else i can do i would but seems like we have done everything. She is 12 years old and we have had her since she was 14 wks old. We got her from the pound. Sorry if my post seems all over the place but that is were my head is right now.
I knew this day would come but, not now.
Im gonna miss her so so much. She was there to put her head on my lap during some very hard times. The best dog in the world.
HAHA Just noticed the little wagon is sticking her tongue out at me in that pic!0 -

well it's my first time posting and I wish it wasn't for such a sad reason. My 9 year old basset hound was literally shot in the head in my back garden on Wednesday night. I'm absolutely devasted. He was my best friend and I can't believe someone could be so cold-blooded. Thankfully he died instantly but my heart is broken.
RIP Zak

[FONT=Comic Sans MS, lucida Handwriting][SIZE=+1]You're filled with anger and disbelief
you ask why take your pet; she never hurt a leaf
Nothing makes sense; as you sit down and cry
but only the good Lord; can really say why
Into all our lives; a little rain must fall
and we must be strong; to answer that call
It usually happens; when are guard is down
then your feelings go on; a merry-go-round
You must hold on tight now; with all your might
because it's always darkest; before the light
Stop and take a look; down deep in your heart
it's there you'll find the strength; to make a new start
Your little one is now home; in Heaven above
cradled in God's arms; covered with his love
This isn't the end; you'll see her one day
and on that special day; you'll be together to stay
