We lost our little poodle yesterday. He had a stroke on Wednesday and lost the use of his back legs.

We contacted a vet, an 'angel' who specialises in euthanasia and she came yesterday so we could let him go without pain and fear.

He came into our lives when we were in a dark and frightening place having been estranged by our youngest son. He brought love, peace and joy into back our lives and was there for us during our darkest hours.

He was white and I called him my little angel without wings.
Now he's gone and has become my little angel with wings.

So sorry for your loss. I list both my dogs and a cat within 6 months. The vet who came to our home was wonderful and it made such a difference to me that it was so calm and gentle unlike previous times. I too have estranged AC and my pets have got me through some difficult times. Be kind to yourselves and be happy in the knowledge that he was loved, cared for and appreciated and he will have known that ❤️

So sorry to hear about Pipin. I can still remember the heartbreak when we had to have our dog put to sleep about 40 years ago! Remember all the happy times you had with him.

Thank you everyone for your lovely responses.

Not everyone understands unless they love or have loved their pets as much as everyone whose posted clearly does.

My heart breaks for you; I am so sorry for your loss. He will be in your heart forever x

Shinamae Sun 03-May-26 13:40:09

So sorry…..
Happened to us not so long ago and we had the vet come out as well so much more relaxing for the dog although I was crying all the way through holding and talking to him I just could not help it…
It was my son’s dog and I tried to persuade him but he could not bear to be with Seamus while it was done but he does say he will never have another dog and he’s only 40. He says he couldn’t face the heartbreak again.

This thread has me howling - thinking of all the long lost dogs and treasuring the two beneath my feet

Nightsky2 Sat 02-May-26 14:17:55

I’m so sorry. They leave us brokenhearted.💔

So sorry for your loss.

Our dog has a lot of health issues she'll be 13 later in the year.
I am dreading the inevitable.
