Really sorry to hear the bad news johnny .... its really hard as they are more than just a pet they become part of the family ...so its always a hard call but defo the right attitude as regards to not trying to hang on when the qaulity of life deminishes ...

I know how you feel fella, pets become part of the family and are better friends than some people. Every time we lose a dog my mum swears she wont get another but always does as the house feels so quiet and empty without one.

I  am sorry to hear that, we get so attached to our pets, mine are my children (as I don't have kids!) Just spoil him and make the most of the time you have with him.

thanks as I say he is fine as such soon as that changes its time. money not a object but silly some spend thousands holding on but its not fair to the pet. He was fine before he went in fine now as such so

Sorry to hear the bad news mate... We had our dog from 6 weeks old & had him put down last year... S I feel your pain mate

cheers gaz I am fine mate just gutted/pissed off as just don't know when it will start to effect him
