Well today was one of the worst days of the year, We had to put my pal of 14 years down
 ( trying to fight back the tears now as I post this) His name was prince, me and my dad bought him from a Scottish farm that bread boarder collies.
One hell of a pal he was! He used to get right in on the act when I wound our Cat up, I used to get the dog to sniff him, the dog would " heard him", by butting him. Cat used to shout like hell  Also I used to leave him some of my takeaways so he could have a decent treat. I found he liked the chicken tikka and chicken curry ( very mild) from the Indians more than the chicken from the Chinese. As he used to go nuts with the Indian. Last night I had a beer with him and bought a chow mein and did what I always did. He was still interested but couldn't get out of his bed, due to age catching up on him rapidly. So I lifted him out and he got his share for the very last time. Today was very, very painful. i lay with him on the kitchen floor for 20 mins, just to spend the time holding him etc.
here is a small collection of photos, not recent ones, as i don't think they are worthy of the internet. These are the ones of him in his prime. I did have a few nick names for him, I used to call him me gusts, ( fort augustus, from his Scottish routes) and fox head, as he was like a fox  We had rave

Thoughts are with you procta..... lost my baby at 14 in July. It'll get easier and you'll also be grateful you had the choice and courage. They leave a big hole. We were going to have a break ...... which lasted 10 weeks until this arrived

Sorry for your loss, Procta.
I've had to do that job four times. Three of mine and one with a friend. It doesn't get any easier. The worst job in the world. As Jim says, time is a great healer and you know your healing when the thoughts are just the happy memories you hold. |

Absolutely feel your pain.
We had to put our 2 girls to sleep 5 weeks apart - The earth split in 2! Fly was 6 and Rizzy was 13. all 3 are rescues, Fly (Polish Rottie in the middle) She was 3 when we rescued her and had had 3 or 4 litters (owner wasn't sure) Alf (Siberian Rottie on the right) He was 2 when we rescued him with Fly - He was emaciated, Just skin and bone. And Rizzy on the Left came from a family that couldn't cope with her. Click image to enlarge We have our boy still and he is my world now.
