ReplyDeleteI`m so sorry for you. I just discovered your site, because of the little picture of your pretty beagle.
ReplyDeleteI`ve got one too and I can`t imagine the day he will leave our family.
Best wishes to you from the south of Germany, Beate
This is such sad news for you all. Willoughby must be pining badly. You were kind to end Spencer's suffering.

ReplyDeletemy sypmathies.
Thank you to everyone who has written to express their sympathy at this time.
ReplyDeleteDue to a blogger error, most of your comments have vanished into the ether over the last 24 hours, but we have had a chance to read them and appreciate all your support.
Thank you, David and Peter.
Really sorry for you! How awful to end like that. Animals give so much, but you will also have been such a wonderful home for him-that is about the best that can be said.
ReplyDeleteLost two cats last year and the only comfort is that you have done your best.
Best Wishes
