Liesa I'm sorry sorry to hear your news, your little friend was so cute. It is so horrid to have to make that awful decision, however much you know it is the right thing to do. You will always miss her like mad, but it will get easier as time goes on. [grouphug]

time and memories will ease the pain, and a new dog around the house will also help,

It will never be a replacement but will crave the love and affection you can offer

Liesa,
So sorry to hear of yor loss, it immediately reminded us of the time we had to have our dog put down.
We had him for 12 years, and then he had a turn at home one Sunday morning so we got the vet ou to him. He put him to sleep in our garden under his favorite tree.
We buried him in the garden along with his bed and toys and then planted a new fruit tree to mark his spot.

It took 3 years before we could come to terms with replacing him.

Time may heal wounds, but you never forget, and when you read stories like this, it brings it all back.

Try to remember the good times, chin up.

Hi Liesa i just thought I would see how your feeling today? Hope your ok. Little Arnie is lovely and you did him right, right up to the very end. To think we have to watch our family suffer till the very end. Our pets get a much better deal don't you think. You didn't let him suffer any longer. [grouphug]

thanks all, hubby and i went through it all again last night what actually happened as he was at work,we were both crying, Arnie has left such a big void in our lives,am still opening the back door first thing in the morning, then i look down at his bed still sitting there.....empty, think im still in shock?
am going to get a big picture of him in the sitting room so i can still see him everday, the tears are falling again....... how can i go on?

Liesa sorry to hear about arnie,you will be able to go on,its feels so hard at first but time will heal.I had to have my dog of 20 years put down a few years back and i sat in the vet stroking him while he slipped away.I keep his collar as a keepsake and theres still photos of him lying around,i dont think the tears ever stop when you hear stories like yours but the pain will go.
We did get another dog,not to replace ben but for the love and enjoyment dogs bring to a family[msnsad]

Liesa, I am so sorry about your dog Arnie. I have tears pouring down my face as I know it wont be long until I go through the same pain as you with our dog Corey. He is 15 now and we thought we were going to loose him a few months ago when he had a couple of strokes, but with alot of help from our vet he is still going on with the help of alot of medication. He's not his old self but he is still with us which we are lucky to have unlike you. Every morning I come downstairs and dread looking over just in case today is the day, as we have been told by the vets that he probably wont have a great deal of time left with us. It is all worth the pain as Arnie had such a long and happy life with you and your family, you will always cherish all those good memories of him. Keep your chin up, it will get easier.
Best wishes
Julia
