I am absolutely devastated. My 6 year old basset hound Rory has had to be PTS today- only a couple of hours ago. He had cancer which came on very quickly and the vet thought it best to let him go, even though he wasn't in any pain. He was finding it hard to walk and was refusing to eat today.
With everything else happening in my life with my family at the moment, I am a mess!
My husband and kids are also extremely upset and I just feel like my heart is breaking in two. I am writing this though so many tears I'm surprised I can type!
My husband brought him home and we have buried him in the garden under our tree.
R.I.P Rory....I'll love you forever :)
 
I will have to tell my daughter tonight when she gets home from work. Not sure what I'm going to say! :(

I just keep thinking of him in the cold outside when he should be curled up in his chair...I must have lost buckets full of tears in the past few hours. My little 3 year old Jack Russell Gem is whimpering, I think she misses him too. :(
 
I am so sorry to hear such sad news. What an awful thing you are going through. I wish I could take away your pain.
 
Really really sorry to read this, very sorry for your loss. Massive hugs to you.

RIP Rory

I'm so sorry :( what a gorgeous dog Rory was.

I'm sorry he lost his battle, I know what a big hole a dog leaves when they pass.

My condolences to you and your family, keep happy memories close to your heart.
 
What heartbreaking news. I was devestated after my doggie had to be PTS. Hope you and your family can rember the lovely memories you have once the tears have dried. So very very sorrry.....x
 
I'm so sorry, you must be devastated. (((((hugs))))). Rest in peace beautiful Rory, you were and still are very much loved. x
 
Thank you everyone for your kind words and support, it means a lot.

I am still bursting into tears here and there today, my eyes are so sore. My eyelids are very swollen after yesterday, so I look hideous! rolleyes

I have the task of clearing away Rory's bed, bowls etc.. today, and I'm also trying to make the last ten or so plaques ready for the craft fair on Saturday. I feel slightly sorry for whoever buys the last few- the writing will be all over the place! I just hope that my eyes calm down by then, otherwise people will wonder what the dickens is wrong with me! ;)
 
oh how heartbreaking for you all i am so sorry, six is just so young to be taken.

I am so glad you were able to bring him home and lay him to rest in a special place.

Rip Rory, sleep well little guy x

Hugs to you all x
 
I'm reading these posts with tears in my eyes. I'm so, so sorry for your loss. He was still so young and it was such a cruel shock for you. Sending warm thoughts to you and all your family.
 
Oh love i'm so so sorry to hear about darling Rory 8...8...8...
RIP Rory run free at the bridge, have fun chasing butterflies and other pups thru the lush green meadows and enjoy nibbling on lovely big juicey bones, you'll be so very very sadly missed by your devastated family but NEVER EVER forgotten xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) and loads of loves from Glynis, Velvet and Onyx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Another little star now twinkling in the sky .......... :(



Our Bella sends you some woofy loves and licks XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Again i'm so sorry......... they really are part of the family aren't they!
Thankyou for sharing those precious pics of Rory x)
 
Oh I am so sorry that Rory has slipped over the Bridge. You did the right thing by him so he didnt suffer but it is so heartbreaking and he was so young. Hugs to you and all your family, it will get easier and he will always be just by your side wherever you go. He is tucked away safely in a corner of your heart now..xx
 
:( i am so so sorry. It is incredibly hard when you lose any animal, lots of hugs coming your way x
 
I am in the process of making a very special memorial plaque to attach to the tree. I have thought long and hard about what to write on it, and have decided on this. I think this is perfect...


If tears could build a stairway
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven
And bring you home again.

R.I.P Rory

I'm so so sorry to hear about your beloved Rory, what a gorgeous boy he was.
I really understand what you're going through, I cried when I read your post....I had to have my 14 year old jack russel Masie put to sleep 3 weeks ago. She had cancer on her tummy, and the vet had told us the same thing...that she wasn't going to pull through, and soon she would be in terrible pain and that we should let her go. It devastated me. Grief engulfed me...and even now if any one mentions her tears prick at my eyes....I just felt like she was snatched away from me....and the house is so cold without her...and I had alot of issues with her being in the cold ground outside....it felt so unatural.

All I can say to you is...one day you will think of him and not be sad...but you will smile....at all the love he gave you and at how lovely he was....i know it won't feel that way now...The bond between a dog and it's owner is so strong. I know i'll always miss my gorgeous girl.

I'm so so sorry again for your dreadful loss...It's such an awful shock.

My thoughts and love are with you all...Rory will meet Masie at the bridge...She'll take care of him.

take care of yourself....xxxxxxx
