Saxon our Rotty. When he was a pup he got ran over and broke his leg and needed a metal leg inserting, hes now 9/10 and its come out of place being a big boy and he can no longer walk on it. Recently hes barely eaten nothing either and we cant afford to have it mended (about a grand because hed need a double 1 or something), so hes being put down tomorrow at 11.

Worst part is knowing youll never see him again. He was a guard dog around the back (although hed do sod all, was soft as ****); Im gonna miss him getting excited whenever somebody walked past :/

It's really hard putting your dog down. We had our black lab for 13yrs and he had really bad arthritis. The day we put him down was horrific.

I'm really sorry


Cherish the last few hours with him. You'll be glad you did

[Jords]

Jords.. I am so desperately sorry to read this. Nothing anyone can say will be of help or any real comfort to you - but please try to take some good from the fact that he did have years of kindness and love.

I don't know what else to say to you sweetheart. Sending massive hug and thoughts with you.

Would it help putting up a wee special thread for Saxon - you could put up any photos you have of him, with any little stories or memories when the pics were taken etc?

Thanks Pyr, thats true and its only when its done that you can start to feel better about it I find too?

Nah its fine, dont wanna depress the forum either Ill write a blog tomorrow though sharing a few memories. Unfortunately I have no old photos because I didnt have a camera/laptop until ~3 years ago.

The forum is full of animal lovers Jords, and a great many of us will know how you will be feeling: now and tomorrow - so doubt you will depress us - see how you feel tomorrow. The blog sounds great idea.... keep us posted eh.

[serensilver]

its the worst feeling ever! im so so sory to hear your sad news! He knows that you love him and have been so caring throughout his life, you gave him a loving home and he knows that!

When my cat died 3 years ago i thought i would never get over it was had him 18 years and whatever anybody said i was adamant nothing would feel the same again, i no you wont think this now but it will get easier the first few weeks were hard.. very hard... and then a family friend said that her sister's cat had 2 kittens needing a new home, we weren't sure at first as it felt too soon really ( 2 months) we thought about it and someone very wise said " you gave Oliver a fab life for 18 years he was loved and cared for so much if you do the same for the kittens he would be happy knowing that they have such a loving home"! it made so much sense and HONESTY it really helped us move on and start with new little ones!

I am not saying replace one dog with another thats so not what i mean but after you have grieved think about it ( if you are able to ) a new one to care for?

Please dont think im being insensitive by saying "just get another one" im just saying how i coped with my grief.

Also i put a photo album together and look at it from time to time, we have a little tree in the garden too, we also talk about him regulary and have fond memories of him!

Thinking of you x x x x x x x x x

Awww thats horrible Jords. So sorry to hear about this.
