    Unhappy

    Oh I am so, so sorry and know the pain you are going through. It is the worse feeling in the world.

    I promise you that you will know the time as Connie will let you know.

    If you can manage to be with her when the time comes then that will be good but don't beat yourself up if you can't.
    It's all the years of love beforehand that counts not the last minutes.
    Do whatever feels right for you.

    I would say enjoy the time you have left with her but I know this will be impossible as your heart must be breaking already.If only we,like animals, could live for the moment.

    Get yourself the homeopathic remedy Ignatia as this helps with grief.

    Lots of love and hugs xxxxx

    Thank you.
    This is a weird feeling.I can honestly say I've never felt so useless in my life.
    This must be how it feels waiting to execute someone you love.
    I thought I believed in euthanasia but now I'm confused.
    Anyone I have lost to death be it pet or human has been unexpected,which somehow is easier to handle.

    Cuddlepop, I din't have any advice to offer I'm afraid but just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you and Connie Losing a pet is so awful, and watching them suffer and not knowing what to do for the best makes it all so much worse. Just enjoy the time you have left with her, and as the others have said Connie will let you know when its time to go. I understand your mixed feelings about euthanasia as its moments like this that make you question it, but don't look on it as execution look on it as release. I've had 2 pets put down and it absolutely tore my heart in two but I also took comfort in the fact that they were free from pain, rather than suffering a longer, drawn out demise. Whatever you do, I'm sure it'll be the right decision and we're all thinking of you xx

    Oh cuddlepop , you'll know, you'll see it in her eyes.
    It's not execution, as another poster said it is release from pain and suffering.
    I'm no use with words, but I am thinking of you all the time x

    You are not useless! You are doing everything you can for Connie and that includes setting her free when the time is right.

    I may be wrong but I think why you are finding it so confusing is she does not look or act like an ill dog?
    It sounds like you have a good Vet who isn't too far away? In which case you really don't need to make any decisions right now.
    It will feel right when the time comes.

    Letting an ill pet slip away from pain and illness is the final act of love.

    We are all here for you.

    Take care xxxx

    Today is a beautiful day.
    Have decided to try and enjoy what till we have left so we're all away to the beach and to hang with the housework.

    I might even get to through some stones in the water for her as she loves stone chasing its just not very good for their teeth.
    Thats why she 's got so few left and diet?,what diet.

    Thank you all for your wonderful support and Liz your truely special.

    Thumbs up

    Good for you!

    I've always said if I knew I had a short time to live I would do all things which are 'bad' for me. So I am sure Connie will love smashing her remaining teeth on stones and chomping on pig liver!

    Hope you enjoy your day at the beach as I'm sure Connie will!

    Her words of comfort are lovely, her advice spot on and animals have no greater friend than Liz. There is no good way for our pets to depart. If lost suddenly, we wish we would have known their time was short and if we know their end is near, the pain of knowing becomes unbearable. Cuddlepop, I wish strength and comfort for you and Connie.

    Cuddlepop, there's a lot of us Orgers thinking of you and Connie - I think most of us feel pretty useless and wish we could help you somehow.

    Hopefully it will help you just a wee bit knowing we're thinking of you. Here are some big supportive hugs winging their way up from Edinburgh. ((((()))))

    Thank you,hugs are very welcome just now.
    Its pouring over here and Connie is looking more depressed than ever.
    Neighbourghs will be thinking I've thrown her out but she just wants to sit under the porch,probably cooler for her outside.

    Default So hard

    Being a man I dont do soppy.
    I had to make the hardest call I have ever had to make in my life last year when my dog took a brain tumour.
    Reading your thread makes my heart feel heavy and there are not many words for me to say apart from I am sorry.
