Thank you Janines...
.....one day she was here with a limp...now she is gone.....she greeted me this morning....at the bottom of the stairs....like she does every morning....with an excited wimper and a wagging tail......i knew this morning it would be the last time she would do it. She then bowed down on front legs like she always does...for a scratch between her shoulder blades,....with bottom high in the air...like always.......xxxx

i am so sorry to read your news - BUT what you did for her was the ultimate way to show her how much you loved her - I will be thinking of you and your family.

Charley,now I can see through the tearsI can write you a note.My old lurcher granny was diagnosed with kennel cough and after 2 weeks it still wasn't right,took her to a different vet and she had lung cancer,was so upset with myself for not seeing this but I knew it was kinder to let her go.People like yourself have too much love for animals not to give another poor dog a chance at life,give yourself a little while and get another baby,it will never replace your grey but you are doing a lot of good.Thinking about you and remembering my old one,best wishes ,Sandra.

thank you everyone, for all your kind words....you will never know how much they have ment to me.
Feel carmer today, about the choice I made yesterday. It is sinking in that it was the right thing to do for her, maybe not for me, but for her it most def was. It would have been nice for me, to have had her home for another week or so...to say proper good byes...........
Phone the lady I got her from today, she rehomes greyhounds straight from the track, she is also a trainer, but at least she puts something back in, that is good for the greyhounds, when they are know longer needed. Anyway....she said I had done the right thing too....as it would have been horrid for her.
She is going to be looking for another special girl for us to have.
My settee dosent look right without a greyhound asleep on it!!
Thanks again

Oh Charley, so sorry to hear this. Probably the last thing you want to hear right now but it does get easier with time & remember the lovely life she had with you. Someone said to me when I lost Laddie a few wks back, he was lucky to have me & I thought no I should have done this that the other or mabe if I.....but you can`t think that way & now I think me & Laddie were lucky to have had each other, he was special to me & I was special to him. Take care.

Im so sorry, I lost Rosie earlier this year, it does get easier in time although i still have a cry sometimes, you did the right thing Charley and saved her from a lot of pain,
best wishes Heidi
