Smow, so sorry to see this, try and think of it this way if you can,
She is at peace now, no more pain or struggling to eat/drink, the right thing at the right time, I know it's not easy but be strong.
Ironically I had her mum, hence how I saw her being born. But her mum died when I was on holiday 2 years ago - my MIL was cat sitting them and came in one morn and found mum in the kitchen, passed away. So no I’ve never had to make this decision before. I know it’s the right one - she would have just starved to death- but god I miss her so much.
You still awake Smow? Be kind to yourself and and dont fight the feelings which are all very natural. You would be quite a different person if you felt any other at the moment, allow the emotion to flow however it needs to.
So sorry to see that smow. You did the right thing sweetheart. I know how you're feeling, I had to do that twice, with dogs of ours. The only consolation sweetheart is that Pepper is now at peace and pain free. I've no doubt she is with her mum.
I too was devasted when I lost Harvey but about 4 months on I just had to get another dog - I missed the wee footsteps and quizzical looks he would have given me (Harvey). This dog Maxie is just a wee gem - adore him. Know it is very early days but you might be happy with another wee companion like in the near future. The best thing I done.
Sorry for your bad news Smow. Most pet owners on the site know the terrible feeling when you lose your hairy monster(cat or dog)but don't worry eventually pain lessens and you'll only remember the happy times.
