Sorry to have to post here again so soon, but we lost our lovely Molly this morning. Her arthritis had been getting worse and she had developed a growth on her front left paw. The vet examined her and said that she is in a lot of pain and that the kindest thing to do would be to put her out of her pain. We were a bit shocked as she was in relatively good spirits today, although she had become increasingly lethargic over the past couple of weeks and was having difficulty walking more than a few yards. The vet said that if today was a good day, she must be suffering a lot on her bad days. So we reluctantly agreed to follow her advice. It was very hard to say goodbye to such an important member of the family who has been with us for so many happy years, but she slipped away peacefully and she's not in any more pain. Goodbye sweetheart and thanks for all the lovely memories.
@paulv66 I am so terribly sorry to read your sad news just now . I think your final sentence was beautiful , very sad but beautiful . Molly was so lucky to have you x
So sorry to her your news, Paul. You did the kindest thing, for sure, but it still hurts so much to have to make the decision. Run free, sweet girl. You were loved.
I'm so terribly sorry to hear that. You and Molly were lucky to have each other. Every dog deserves loving humans like you who will always put their dog's needs first, no matter how tough that is. You'll be in my thoughts.
I know it's hard but you helped her when she needed you the most. She will always be with you. Remember all the good times. So very sorry
I'm so sorry. You obviously loved her very much and I hope memories of all the happy times with your lovely girl can bring you some comfort.
So sorry for your sad loss, but you did the best thing for her. Molly will always be with you in your heart.
So sorry to hear about Molly. She is out of pain now and running over the rainbow bridge. Big hugs to you and your family.
So very sorry to read about Molly, sounds like she had the best life ever with you. Sending you big hugs .
I am so sorry Paul. I feel for you as it was a shock and you were not really ready, she sounded a dear dog.
So sorry you had to say goodbye to dear Molly today. It's the hardest thing we ever have to do for our beloved dogs, but it is the kindest thing too. In time, the hole she leaves behind will fill with the best memories ever.
Thanks everyone. I've changed my avatar to a photo we had taken about ten years ago. It's hanging on the wall in our kitchen and will always be there to remind us of our lovely girl.
So sorry to hear your news about Molly. That's a beautiful photo of her and you must have lots of happy memories. It's such a difficult decision to make.
