R.I.P Beautiful Gus - xoxo

Well its been a long time comming and my DH has just left for the vet to say goodbye to our beloved Gus!
DH brought Gus almost 8yrs ago to keep me company and too look after me while he was in the army and away for months on end! And boy did Gus do a great job of that!
I remember many times when DH was away and Gus was a puppy and i would sneak him in the house and we would stay up late and watch tv together than fall fast asleep on our bed with the TV going. Gus was my little baby - he would curl up in my lap and i would sing him a lullabye and he would go to sleep - to this day Gus would still do it - even tho he is a massive dog and hardly could fit into my lap!
We almost had to say goodbye to him 2yrs ago but i really wanted him to hang around and meet Peanuts (Miss B) since he did such a good job at looking after me when i was pregnant, always giving my belly a nudge or a lick, and im so glad he got to meet her and spend 17 good months with us as a family! Not a single night went by when Gus wouldnt get up with us when Miss B woke up! he was just as tired as we were and still are LOL! I wish he could meet Spud, but that would be just prolonging his pain and the enevitable.
Im sure what we are doing is the right thing for Gus - it has always been quality of life over quantity for Gus he was such an active dog! but if its the right thing why is it such a hard thing to do?

Goodbye my Gussy - i love you so very much! i hope you will be happy and are not sad at us letting you go! you will never be far from my thoughts!

I LOVE YOU GUS xxxx

Oh hun- I am so so sorry i know how it feels to lose a pet,they are family and it is very hard.

You know you are doing the right thing if the animal is in pain its the best for them but it does not make it any easier. We just lost a dog 11 year old lab to cancer, found out to late and it spread to quick, he was in so much pain but he passed by himself.
and i have a cat who iv had for 12 years and i cant even imagine life without her

I am really sorry for your loss, he will always be in your heart and know you are doing the right thing hun

peace little Gus

:hug: to you, RIP Gus.

Regards,
Dianne

Awww big hugs to you honey :hug:

big hugs

Thankyou everyone for your replies! today has been a very long, upsetting and empty day! My heart is breaking, i can't help but think of him, and its so quiet and lonely outside now!
Miss B has noticed Gus missing and she goes to the door and calls him than says "Gone"
I was out hanging washing out side and Miss B is calling for Gus over and over, was upsetting to see!

I miss my Gussy so much already!

Oh hun my heart is breaking for you :hug: What a beautiful way for you to describe his life with you. Just so precious. I am sure he knew how loved he was.Lots of love to you all and I hope Gus is having a great time up in doggy heaven digging lots, chasing cats and birds and eating gourmet dinners!! :hug:

It is very hard saying goodbye to a beloved pet..

I remember taking my 1st pet to the vet to say goodbye and I ran out crying..

oh babes. :comfort:

He sounds like he was a spoilt with love little doggy. Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do. I bet he would not have enjoyed the remaining years of his life with pain and suffering. You were thinking of him when you decided to let him go. I would've done the same.

I will give my two girls and extra hug tonight and think of Gus as i am doing it.
