| Sad News Today I had to have my eldest dog Zack put to sleep. He'd been ill on and off for a while with this and that. He was practically blind and deaf, had diabetes, arthritis He'd had blood tests several times but it only showed a slight raised level for his kidneys nothing that the vet was alarmed about. But he developed a foul smell in his breath very suddenly as his appetite wained a little. I feared kidney problems but he still was eating and was active around the house but he rapidly deteriorated over the weekend and wasn't eating so he had a blood test again and it confirmed he was in kidney failure. I could see it in him he'd given up and knew he'd had enough and the kindest thing I could do for him was to let him go peacefully. I stayed with him while he slipped away and said my goodbyes. I shall bury his ashes in the garden once I get them back. I miss him terribly and it seems so strange without him here. He was two months short of his sixteenth birthday and I'd had him since he was 10 weeks old. I have many treasured memories of him and I have to remember he had a good life. Here's a couple of photo's of him. He is about 10 years old in this first photo - he's the one in the green harness. He's 14.5 years in this photo and is on the left.

| I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my 10 year old Evey on Valentine's Day. I had to let her go the same way and I stayed with her until the end. They are not suffering anymore. They are healthy again and running around like puppies again. Stay strong and know that you'll be with him again some day. |

| I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my first Yorkie to kidney failure at the age of 13 years and two months. When they are older, it hits them hard and fast. It's so heartbreaking to let thm go. Sheila |
