Don't often post in here but seems a nice idea to pop in a tribute to my old fella, nipper was PTS this morning at 17 years of age, a JRT he'd led a long and happy life, but the last few months had been a bit hard for him, his joints were getting stiff and sore and he was getting senile as well, yesterday was not good as he became incontinent for the first time.....he looked at me this morning in a way thet said he'd had enough.
i do feel guilty though as when i took him into the vets he was wagging his tail at the other dogs, then he tried to do too much moving around and started yelping.....took him in and vet was good, totally agreed he was looking uncomfortable especially from his stance, the worst thing was the little yelp he gave as the needle went in  but then he'd always been like that with his jabs, I KNOW i have done the right thing before he declined into a worse condition, BUT i also feel i had given up on him....anyone else feel like this about a dog?? i was totally ok when i had my old mare PTS!
Well, goodnight old fella, you will never have to ache again....
