l have been lucky in the fact that my dogs have made the decision for me- its not been a question of when. But that doesn't make the trip easier.
When my last setter passed, it was obviously the time, My daughter drove me to the vets, by the time it was over, as I walked out towards the desk, my daughter took my arm and said "it's all taken care off, lets go home" She knew I couldn't hold up for long.
my older setter now is 10 and showing signs of aging, not going to be a good day when it comes. Having an understudy helps keep you busy, but the hole is still there.
many of you know i am a book-aholic - there is a book entitled "Empty Collars" I cannot bring myself to get that one.
