Sadly Merlin Is Getting Worse

What a very sad day for you. So sorry to hear about poor Merlin. Those poems are real tear-jerkers as any one who has ever loved a dog will identify with.

Remember all the good times you shared & be happy that you knew Merlin :)

So sorry :( ........know what you are going through :( RIP Merlin.
 
sorry for your loss, Merlin will be frolicking around now, no more pain

:huggles: to you all
 
George I've lit Merlin's candle so that he has light for his journey to the bridge.

RIP little man. Be free of pain and stiffness and old age.
 
My thoughts are with you.

This situation is the ONLY bad thing about having dogs (cats, horses,...). Without a doubt the hardest yet easiest, worst yet best, decision we ever have to make.

Thank you all very much for your words of support - I can't believe how hard this has been.
Merlin was put to sleep at around 10:00am this morning.  In the end I rang in to the office and told them to cope without me today, I was in no mood to leave my boy at his time of greatest need.

The vet came around to the house and Merlin found the strength to bark as they came through the door, a guardian to the end.  He lay on mums lap on the sofa in the living room while I held his paw and stroked his head and whispering to him.  I think my last words to him were "Lets go for a walk boy".  He slipped away very quickly and I'm so proud of him.

I'm feeling quite peaceful now, but still quite tearful along with the rest of the family.  I'm absolutely certain that we did the right thing, I just know that Merlin is happy now and is still trotting around the house and garden on this lovely day.

Merlin is now buried next to our last whippet Pip and my brother's jack russel Trevor at the end of the garden.  He' resting inside a sleeping bag we adapted for him years ago for use in the caravan with his favourite squeeky toy and his tennis ball next to him and with his head on one of my T-shirts.

God I'll miss him.

Rest in peace mate, lets go for that walk now...

So very sorry for your loss, My thoughts are with you all :(
