Yesterday we had to have our darling Harriet PTS.  David and I were with her to the very end, with tears streaming.  We have this dreadful feeling of desperation and guilt that we should have done more for her.


For the last two months Harriet just wasted away despite all our efforts to get her better.  She had become a skeleton that could hardly walk or stand.  Harriet was nearly 8 years old and we  loved her too much to let her suffer xx.

Hi Toni and Dave


So sorry about Harriet. It's so hard to lose a well-loved friend. I know exactly how you're feeling.


You gave Harriet a good life and surely it's kinder to let her go than to let her suffer. I'm thinking of you.


Christine

Hi,


Nothing that one can say - can make it any easier. You both did your best.


Life - death - there is a scheme of things - I know myself, some will disagree, that I will meet up some day will all of my dogs and cats - I can just picture it now - the joy as we meet up!   Aghhhh the chaos


But nothing - overcomes the grief and  sadness now. The feelings of loss and seperation. Grieve, cry etc let it out. It's natural


But - life goes on. It's a natural cycle.

Thank you so much for your sincere messages and thoughts, they do help us realise that we really did do the best thing for Harriet.


Our vet told us yesterday that after we left he did another check over on Harriet, probing under her rib cage further, and advised it did not feel right, he could detect a mass/growth....


She was just so special, she never cried, panted or appeared to be in pain whatsoever, the weight just dropped off her within a couple of weeks.  She enjoyed the kindness and love we gave her and accepted that as the best.
