Mrs R you did the bravest, and most selfless thing any animal lover can do

Vesti came o you for love and t say goodbye and a the first grief passes you will know deep within your heart that you did the very best thing

Sometimes the best way to say 'I love you'... Is to say 'goodbye'

Vesti sweeteart, you are now young and free from any ailments, safe fro all harm... play hard at the bridge sweetie and look after your Mamma and her babies

Nikki,

Please accept me sincere condolences at this terrible time.  You have made one of the hardest and bravest decisions any of us can ever make but you did it with love for your special boy  :hug:

Vesti will always be in your heart and even though he won't be there for the twins arrival he will be keeping an eye on your all from the bridge.

RIP Slyvester ... much loved and sorely missed.  Play hard little man xxx

Oh Nikki, I can imagine. :care: :care: This poem meant a lot to me after we had to let Tobes go in June:

    Do not stand at my grave and weep,
    I am not there, I do not sleep.
    I am in a thousand winds that blow,
    I am the softly falling snow.
    I am the gentle showers of rain,
    I am the fields of ripening grain.
    I am in the morning hush,
    I am in the graceful rush
    Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
    I am the starshine of the night.
    I am in the flowers that bloom,
    I am in a quiet room.
    I am in the birds that sing,
    I am in each lovely thing.
    Do not stand at my grave and cry,
    I am not there. I do not die.

RIP Sylvester - you were very much loved and will be missed.

IF IT SHOULD BE

If it should be that I grow weak and pain should keep me from my sleep.
Then you must do what must be done, for this last battle cant be won.
You will be sad, I understand, dont let your grief then stay your hand.
For this day more than all the rest, your love and friendship stand the test.
We've had so many happy years, what is to come can hold no fears.
You'd not want me to suffer so, when the time comes, please let me go.
Take me where my needs they'll tend, only stay with me till the end.
And hold me firm and speak to me, until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time that you will see, it is a kindness you do for me.
Although my tail it's last has waved, from pain and suffering, I've been saved.
Please don't grieve that it should be you, who has to decide this thing to do.
We've been so close, we two, these years, dont let your heart hold any tears.
