Raven the rottweiler has been put to sleep. :(

After everything poor Raven the rottweiler has been through in the past year, unfortunately I got a phone call on Tuesday evening from ex-Mr-Raven saying he had become unable to walk in the past few days.

We thought we were going to lose him when he had a stroke almost a year ago, but amazingly he started to walk again and lead an almost normal lifestyle.

As Raven the Rottweiler was almost eleven and in pain we decided it would be best to make the final decision.  We know it was the right thing to do, and ex-Mr-Raven has had him cremated and is keeping the ashes.

So sorry. Losing a pet is always hard, even when you know it is for the best. My thoughts are with you.

You can only ever do what is kindest for them - even when it's painful for ourselves.

I know just how you are feeling.........................

Heartfelt sympathies to you, Raven.  It's a very tough time and decision, but sounds like it was for the  best. Your good friend will always be with you in your heart.

Aaaw, so sorry Raven for your loss.  Fond memories will keep you going,

So sorry Raven81, you have had such a horrid year and did not need any more bad news.

I hope that things start to improve for you soon.   

The kindest gift you can give to your pet is the time when you know you have to say goodbye.  I was with our cats and dogs at the time they had to be put to sleep, it was terribly sad, but at the same time so peaceful and ´nice´ if you know what I mean. 
There is a Rottie not far from us, it is supposed to be a ´guard dog´ but she comes up to the fence, I scratch her ears and she groans with pleasure.  Rottie´s are such lovely dogs.

You have all my sympathy
