Goodbye dear friend...

BC-

My heart is breaking for you

Just take comfort in that you're doing the right thing for Winston - he's lucky to have had such a loving home for so many years. Pets really can be the constants in our lives.

Hugs to you and your other pup!

I am so sorry that you have to put down your dear furry friend. I hope, in time, you can take comfort that your rescue made his life wonderful and that he had the best life possible during his time on earth.

I've been where you are and it's one of the hardest things imaginable. Give yourself time to grieve...and rejoice that you were able to have such a great companion in your life.

Sending lots of hugs your way. Thanks for posting those lovely pics. My family and I think they are gorgeous. You really are doing the best thing for your wonderful friend.

Oh Bikerchick, I am sorry for you and sorry for Winston. He knows he had a wonderful life with you as his "guardian". I am in tears. I love animals so much. I am more of a cat person, but have had a dog, Toby, that I loved equally. Our pets love us unconditionally and we are granted the luxery of being their guardians. It is a difficult decision you make, but one made with love. God Bless You, God Bless Winston.

Bikerchick,

I'm so very sorry. As you know, we had to make the equally gut-wrenching decision to put our Boston Terrier Pepper down on Monday, and you posted such sensitive and lovely poem on my thread. Our hearts ache for her as yours will for Winston. Like you, we know we did the right thing, but that doesn't make it hurt much less.

Your posting set off torrents of tears in me yet again. This is such a difficult time of year to face a loss.

Wishing you peace in the knowledge that you are doing the best by Winston as you have from the start. Thanks for sharing the photos; he looks like a real treasure.

Big hugs,
Emily

What a sweet boy. I'm glad his last day was a good one. It's always so hard to make the final decision and let them go. Peace to you both.
