She was a 16½ years old Beagle/Labrador cross and we had to have her put to sleep this afternoon.

She had became very thin, was walking around as though she was in a daze and her eye sight had also deterioated to the point with which she was bumping into furniture with her head. She had other ailments too.

The vet had said her liver had likely packed in and in general, she had just become worn and tired with her body slowly switching itself off.

We adopted her from the local RSPCA Animal Shelter 3½ years ago, she was allready 13 years old when we adopted her.

She was originally with an old lady who could no longer look after her, she was placed in the Shelter where she was originally adopted by a couple who had a baby and said she had tried to "attack" the baby?

3½ years later, we have had 2 children and she has been the PERFECT family pet, even showing patience towards the little ones when lesser dogs may have lost their temper.

I have cried too much today and have a storming headache and feel sick.

To our best friend Honey, the family will miss you x
 
So sorry to hear that, but you did the right thing - RIP Honey

ignore the idiot - you know what they say - no sense, no feeling
 
RIP Honey
Sorry for your loss.
I was in a similar position about 6months ago, our 14 year old Doberman suffered liver failure and was put to sleep. I cried and cried as i held her and she drifted off, she was a great dog who had grown up with me and my brother. They really do become part of the family. I still smile when i think of her "funny" ears and facial expressions :D
 
I'm truly sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved pet dog, Honey.

You have my sympathies at this difficult time.

Hussman.
 
RIP Honey,

To the OP, chin up and my thoughts are with you.

Today is one of the hardest days you have but you were kind enough to give an elderly dog a good home for the remainder of her days.

Remember the good times and smile, it helped me.

RIP, looks like an awesome dog and I'd feel **** too if I'd lose a pet. I felt terrible for ages even when I lost my bird.
 
I feel so sorry for you, losing a pet is not easy, I have lost my share and know the pain, my thoughts are with you.

RIP Honey
