Sheba, our 15 year old Collie Cross, was put to sleep just after 6pm tonight. She had been having trouble with arthritis, collapsed joints, muscle loss and a degree of incontinence for some time. We were hoping for some stronger painkillers for her, as we knew she hadn't long left and we assumed she was in pain, but the vet said he could only prescribe them for a week - the amount of time he believed she had left, as her trembling was caused by weakness, not pain. We couldn't bring her home when we would knowingly be prolonging her suffering, knowing that in 'x' days we would have her PTS. She was gone before the injection had even finished, she was so weak.
Rest well, my beautiful girl. You had a tough life, and I know things were hard for you after Bo died, and when the twins came along (stealing you doggies limelight a bit). We all loved you, and I know Mummy, me and the twins will miss you so much, and love you forever. Be happy, free and easy, reunited with Bobo. I know Rosie, Sonic, Charlie, Tuppy and Lottie will also help you get acquainted with your new freedom.
