Sorry I've not been back to update as I said I would. Got on okay at the vets, she said she doesn't think he's ready to go yet but it won't be long and that I'll somehow know when the time is right. I've just been really down and crying a lot so not got much to say I'm afraid. :-(
I've been sticking to the plan though in the main. Although I had the munches last night and had about 22 syns after I'd added them up and have ended up having 20 today as I dropped my whole lunch on the floor in work when I took it out the microwave so ended up using 6 syns on toast and 4 on butter. Then I had a chicken chow mein after work. But I'm doing better than I normally do when I'm down so I'm not going to give myself a hard time over it.
Thank you Alycyn, although I didn't sleep well lastnight for worrying about him and I woke up thinking it may be time to say goodbye to him :cry: My hubby had him at my mil's yesterday and she told him that she couldn't bear to look at Felix now as he has so much sadness in his eyes and that he just wasn't the same dog anymore. I'm going to see how he is over the next few days and if he's just the same then i'm going to speak to the vet :sigh2:
Its a horrible time but just remember all the good times and you are doing the best thing for him. Thinking of you, not much else can be said to ease what you are feeling at this time but thoughts are with you. Stay strong for him xxx
I said goodbye to my brave boy this morning. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. It was very peaceful and I know he didn't suffer. I just wish someone could take the pain away from me as I hope I have done for him :cry: :cry:
Oh hun it does get easier and you did the best by him. I find distraction is a great tool. My housemates always knew something was up when the house was sparkling and there were baked treats on the counter for them. If you need to cry, then you cry, it will get better and when you think of him you will want to smile rather than cry.
Thanks Fran. It feels like someone has ripped my heart out. My poor other dog, Felix's brother looks so sad and forlorn. He'll be wondering where his brother is.
:cry:
