I do admire people who do use them for thier dogs but for us personally it was never an option.
Oh Lynn, my heart breaks for you.

I honestly do not know what to say. What a useless option...

I am so sorry and I'm sure whatever you decide you have all us at Dogsey 100% behind you.

Hugs

Just come back Lynne and read this.
If you and Gordon feel the time is right then IMO you are doing right xxx

Like you I have everyday waiting and watching, and the same here, when we feel the time has come it will be right xxx

You have my greatest admiration, never could a dog wish for a better owner xxx

I am so sorry Lynn. I think you know in your hearts what you have to do. You have been wonderful owners and Ollie could not have had any better than you. Reading your posts it seems the time has come to do the one thing we always dread. Sending you and Ollie massive **hugs**.

Oh Lynn,I feel so sad for you and wish there was something more we could do to ease this,but all we can do is to be here for you,which we all are.
I remember in my last post saying the same thing youve just said-I knew it was time when my dog Ginger could no longer support herself on her back legs and we had to hold her up when she needed to have a wee.The look in her eyes was something Id never seen before and she was really speaking to me to ask for our help.
You know you have given Ollie all the love he can ever have wanted and I know you will want him to leave you all with dignity-not that these words will take away any of the hurt or the feelings of guilt when you asked -are we doing the right thing?Thats about the hardest question in the world ,but I believe the answer is a definite yes.Ive been crying a lot and feeling guilty today, because it was sunny and I felt I should have been able to give Lulu ,who we lost 2 weeks ago,1 more lie in the sun-I know thats stupid but I cant help it today.
Give him a hug from me (and from Ollie,)thinking of you .God bless,love from Maureen.

I'm so gutted for you Lynn, it must be so difficult.

I can't advise what I would do as I've never met you or Ollie, but I know you'll do what's best for him.

{{{hugs}}}
