We’ll both be taking here down I imagine, don’t think I can be in there when it happens though.

If there's any way that you can manage to be with her at the end please try. Obviously only you know your pet but I have been told by a vet of pets in that situation looking around for a familiar face at the end and seeing only strangers. Although from what you've said it sounds as though she might not be aware of what is happening so might not make any difference to her.

My heart goes out to you. I've got two 14 year old cats and I'm dreading the day I have to face that decision.
 
I've a feeling I posted this in here a while back but..
In light of the near miss involving BiM the other day it's becoming more common by the day for people, using all forms of transport, to crash red lights.
As I spend my working day being driven around our town, I get to know the phasing of all the traffic lights.
When you know the phasing it's extremely easy to see when someone has crashed a red
I suppose it's because they know they're very unlikely to get caught - either by the police or the other cars, although I've seen some very fine margins recently.
Sooner or later they're not going to be so lucky.....
And don't get me started on General Awareness...........:rolleyes:

If you can avoid it then don't. It still sends a shiver through me now.

When we had to have our older Springer put to sleep, the vet came to the house to do it. We had all the family (and our other dog) there, and although it was heartbreaking, it was a far nicer way to do it, having the old boy in his familiar surroundings and with all his loved ones, rather than taking him to the vets. Might be worth asking if your vet provides this service.

The missus has taken charge, she's taking her down to a local vets tomorrow afternoon, she's also getting her cremated after so we don't have to bury her. She did try getting a vet to the house but no luck.
Poor thing is just lost, she had quite a bad seizure a few months ago and I'm convinced she's had another recently.

My moggies have always been cremated then are buried in a pot with a small tree so as they are not left behind if I move house. Sad I know but just how I do it.
 
What a carry on to finish this holiday, managed to get from Kings Cross to Perth with zero hassle, got on the train to get the final 2 hour journey to Inverness and they cancel the train as they had no staff, ended up just getting a taxi, another £220, British Airways and Scotrail are a bunch of ……….., you know what I mean ??

Be wary of how the vet does the deed.
When we had our last cat put down, the vet came to the house which we thought would be kindest for her. We assumed they would give an injection that sent her slowly off to sleep. But no, they shaved her leg and inserted a cannula (which made her cry and fight with what little strength she had left), then injected something and she was gone in less than 5 seconds, with her eyes still open. It was very traumatic.

If people choose to congratulate you on a landmark anniversary then it's nice. If you spend a year relentlessly reminding everyone to congratulate you then it's more than a bit cringeworthy.
 
Our dog becoming a static electric weapon after ‘adopting’ a picnic blanket from the garage. Every time he comes for cuddles it feels like there’s sparks coming off him. Sure he’s doing it on purpose.
 
Had an email this afternoon..
UPS informing me that a parcel is scheduled for delivery tomorrow......

Just got another one explaining that my delivery date has changed.....to Thursday.

How did these people make it to Adulthood :rolleyes:
 
You're working in someone's house or flat, and years back you were asked if you wanted a tea or coffee, now it's "would you like water?"
Ummm no thanks is always the reply.
