I recently had my 16mnth labrador put to sleep and someone sent me this poem and i found it very comforting and I would love to share it with all of you who have lost pets,particulaly in these cercumstances:

If it shoul be that I grow frail and weak
and pain should keep me from my sleep.
Then you must do what must be done,
for this last battle cant be won.
You will be sad i understand,
dont let your grief then stay your hand.
For this day more than the rest,
your love and friendship stands the test.
Weve had so many happy years,what is to come can hold no fears.
Would you want me to suffer?
So when the time comes please let me go,
take me where my needs theyll tend,only stay with me until the end.
And hold me firm and speak to me,
until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time that you will see,it is the kindest you can do for me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
from pain and suffering ive been saved.
Do not grieve,it should be be you,
who must decide this thing to do.
Weve been so close,we too these years,
dont let your heart hold any tears.

I hope some of you find this comforting I did,I still miss my little man every day but this poem i keep with me all the time and read whenever i feel bad.

RIP Jac miss you our little man love youxxxx

I had to have my poodle put to sleep the year I got pregnant for my daughter she was ancient I had her since I was a kid myself still playing with dolls she was my friend when the kids at school picked on me my playmate when my friends were friends with someone else my confidont when my parents divorced the reason I went home when I got my own place and my companion every day of her life I still miss her I have her ashes in a small wooden box beside my bed one day I will have what it takes to scatter them when I am happy and truely settled

He was called Jacksons Choice more often known as Jac or Scooby Doo as my little girl used to call him.

Of corse you can Tasha,I found this poem so moving yet so comforting and I posted it on here as i really wanted to share it with other people in the same situation.I often sit back read the poem and think about my little man n his such short pained life,yet he always had a wag for us even his last few secounds he managed to give us a wag.Such an amazing little man he deserves all the happiness in the world up above.
Miss u everyday darling,RIP Jac xxxxxx

Awww that is so lovely. I lost my beautiful Pippa only 14wks ago tomorrow.
It still hurts so much missing her. She was put to sleep after suddenly becoming very ill. We made the decision quickly so she could go to sleep and feel no more pain. I light a candle in the garden every night for her.
