I am so sorry about Tilly but it does sound as if you made the right decision. It would be unkind to let her go on suffering.

When in doubt, it can be better to wait. After all, there's no going back. <br /><br />And thank you again. If you want a pet to outlive you, have a tortoise. Otherwise, acknowledge the fact that you will grieve, but bear in mind that the years you have are worth it. And it's not the same as a person. How much worse would that be. <br /><br />Having said which, we feel wretched tonight, of course, and I've still got a whole lot of work to do. Oh dear. Must get on with it or I'll be sorry tomorrow.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-79043714383087557812010-10-11T21:49:58.927+01:002010-10-11T21:49:58.927+01:00Ah Zoe, so sad for you all. xAh Zoe, so sad for you all. xChairwoman of the boredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09283126747440830086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-86089255094920917072010-10-11T21:17:49.292+01:002010-10-11T21:17:49.292+01:00I'm in tears for a dog I never knew!

She had a hard life until she came here, although she was loved, and she was pampered but never spoilt because that wasn't her nature.<br /><br />Dad's making her an oak coffin tomorrow. Honestly, you know, if I go first, he'll make one for me!<br /><br />So glad you came and she was still quite well xxZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-80320682464041048862010-10-11T19:15:30.073+01:002010-10-11T19:15:30.073+01:00I did come to read the post about Ken, I wish I...I did come to read the post about Ken, I wish I'd come along, hopefully he'll still be flying next year.<br /><br />You put Tilly's welfare first, which is unbearably difficult but absolutely the right thing.
