Tan, life can make cruel decisions sometimes. Five is young and it is unfair that Milo had to go so early. I hope you're coping (alright is not a word I use at these times. I know I never am.) and please get in touch if you want to vent. :hug:

On Tan hun I'm so sorry I've only just caught up with this thread and my heart goes out to you.  It's hard enough having to say good bye to a furbabe but not being prepared makes it even harder  :hug:

I know there is nothing we can say to you to take the pain away at the moment but please know we are all here for you when you feel up to talking to us. Take care and take conformt from knowing the hardest decision you had to make was the kindest, selfless thing you could have done for Milo  :hug:

RIP Milo darling .... much loved and sorely missed by your mummy.  Play hard at the bridge little man you have left a big paw print on your mum's heart xxx

I am so sorry to hear this news.  I hope you are ok Tan and am sad you had to face it physically alone.  Please know that we are all here for you when you feel ready to come back.  You did the bravest and most unselfish thing by helping Milo to the Bridge.  He will be up there with all our other bridge babies smiling down on his mummy and watching over you forever.  He has taken a little piece of your heart with him and will keep it by him always.  God bless you for having the strength RIP Milo, free from pain :hug: :hug:

The bridge babes looked around their garden and found an empty place,
Then they looked down upon this earth and saw your loving face,
they put their paws around you and lifted you to rest,
their garden must be beautiful;  because they always takes the best.

They knew that you were suffering;
they knew you were in pain,
And knew that you would never get well on earth again,
they saw your path was difficult;  and closed your tired eyes. 
Then whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you the day the Bridge called you home.



 :RIP:   Milo

Oh Tan, I'm So so Sorry  :'( It is a Bad enough experiance to have to go through without unexpected things happening as well, It must have been Terrible for you  :hug:
But Please take piece of Mind that your Beloved Milo is now safe at the Bridge and Forever free from pain, You had the courage to carry out the final kindness :hug:
In the time he that He was here, you gave Him all the Love and everything that He could ever have Wished for, You Did your Best  :hug: :hug: :hug:

:RIP: Milo

I don't know about anyone else (and aside from My own Loss recently) This year so far, there has been Far too Many sad Post's  :'( :'( :'(

For all those Who have lost thier Furbabe this year

If Tears Could Make a Staircase

We do not need a special day To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you Are very hard to find.

Each morning when we awake, We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache As we try to carry on.

Our hearts still ache with sadness And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you No one will ever know.

Our thoughts are always with you, Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly; In death we love you still.

There will always be a heartache, And often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory Of the days when you were here.

If tears could make a staircase, And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven And bring you home again.

We hold you close within our hearts; And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives Until we meet again.

Our Family chain is broken now, And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again
.

Ok folks. Sad news. Tan has emailed me asking that I post on her behalf.

Milo sadly had to be PTS earlier this evening. I understand that he perked up slightly but then went down rapidly to such an extent that Milo had made the choice for her I am afraid. 

Tan was not prepared for what happens on the vets table at the moment of passing such as muscle tremors, loss of bladder and bowel control etc and this distressed her more.

Tan is understandably very upset and tearful, but I am sure that she is aware that out thoughts and blessings are with her at this time.

RIP Milo

Love and best wishes to Tan at this sad time.
