Thanks everyone....it is so hard losing a dear pet. China was a black & tan Jack Russell, she has had the most wonderful life, which sadly ended this morning at 8.15

I had to take her to the vet in the end, as she was having none of this dying lark....still alert and determined despite not being able to move or breathe! She had never been ill before.I was so relieved when it was over, we had a rotten night.

Funeral will be tomorrow, holes dug, headstone painted, she's all wrapped up in one of my jumpers (her favourite sleeping spot, I've spent 16yrs looking pregnant!)

Oddly enough I feel OK...had a huge cry on Weds evening, sort of prepared myself.

She brought me so much joy, lived to a grand age, and I'll only have happy memories of the smelly ole thing!

Jan,

It's difficult to know what to say, I've been through this, but I think China must have been a very lucky dog to have had you as her owner and to have had so much love.  xx

Jan, I'm so sorry. I've been in that situation with a cat some years back. The leavetaking is heartbreaking and I can still shed some tears now. They show unconditional love, loyalty and trust (well, maybe not completely unconditional as far as cats are concerned). They are are fantastic gift to those of us who chose to take them into our lives.

I'm sorry you've lost your 'mate'. RIP China.

Jan,
Sorry to hear about the loss of your Jack Russell, it's horrible when pets die which was something i didn't really appreciate until we lost our other cat almost 3 years ago.
You have our condolencies.

My commiserations too, Jan. It's good to hear you've coped so well, and can be positively philosophical about it, though. China sounds as if she was a spunky little thing!

So sad Jan, but all you can do in the circumstances is look back on the lovely life you gave her and all the happy memories.  Our beloved pets bring us so much joy over the years, but unfortunately for everything there seems to be a price.  If you have the love, you eventually have to suffer the loss.  As the saying goes, better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.  All our thoughts are with you here. 

After Alfie passed away I was never going to have another dog and go through that again (I've said that after every dog!) but I have had this new one emotionally-blackmailed on to me and so we're off down the same path again which will have the same inevitable ending.  I do think it is worth it for all the pleasure they give over the years.  Kiss

Some people simply dont understand that how we get so emotionally attached to our pets. I am certainly not looking forward to the day when our cat dies. We have quite a busy road, luckily, i think(!), shearer  ::)has good road sense. So he maybe ok there.

Thanks everyone. I'm missing her like crazy, but as you have all said, it is better to have loved & lost, etc....
