As it says in the title...... Thought this was too beautiful not to be shared. Made me cry whilst hugging my own black lab....

it is very sad, but when the time comes, you have to do the right thing.
an absolutely beautiful article.
last May was when we lost our gorgeous 14 year old border collie, Missey.
it was just after 9 am on the Tuesday after the royal wedding. The day we were making that call to the vets to let her go.
her body had given up on her, she lost so much weight by the end, she was half the dog she used to be.
mum got up and carried her through into my room from hers and laid her in bed with me, mum held her big mug of water she always hat at the top of the stairs to drink from and she took what was to be her last few laps of water.
Mum left to get sorted and went downstairs to prepare herself to make the call when the vets opened at 9.30.
i wrapped my arms around her & held her close.
after a few minutes passed, she lifted her head to look at me, placed it back down & stopped breathing, she passed away right there in my arms on the right hand side of my bed.
I remember watching Castaway 2000 with Ben & Inca who was always with him.
My heart goes out him and to anyone who has lost their beloved pet.
Since having Simba last August, my emotions have completely changed. I would do anything for Simba. If I see or read a cruel animal story now, it angers and saddens me.
I read Ben Fogle's piece, well written may I add, I sobbed and sobbed
It was a very hard article to finish.
My OH is devastated as he and his dog have spent 16 years firmly glued to each others side! It's a dreadful feeling.
