Our old wise orange lop cadberry had to be helped to the bridge on tuesday gone.
He had been doing ok, and still enjoying life and eating well but i had to take hubby to hospital for his anual cancer check, on our return he was obviously in some pain.
I rushed him to our wonderful vet who said nothing more could be done. and he was not happy so i alone had the decision to make, not easy when your speaking with a wet snotty face . I have never been so distraught, thank goodness for a supportive gentle vet.
he never felt a thing, he fell asleep in my arms and now rests in peace in my garden.
i dont know how i drove home. lots of guilt still haunt me. but i have been giving lizzy his wife constant cuddles and lovs and she seems to be ok if a little subdued.
I have been dreading this, i knew i would have to face up to it one day, it isnt easy, grief is so painful.
