I had our precious Amber put down yesterday. It was a horrible job and I spent most of yesterday in tears, but it's done and today I am relieved is done. She was in so much pain and, even with medicine, she wasn't getting any better. The actual act was so simple and so peaceful, I couldn't have asked for more for our princess. Amber gazed into my eyes, looked at my mom and quite literally put her head on my lap and went to sleep. It took moments. It was hard to leave her and it is so hard to know that when we walk through our front door this afternoon and every day after, she won't be there to greet us. Amber was a princess, a dog in a million, and she gave us so much love. She really was a gentle giant and it was only fair to put an end to her pain. While it's hard for us, I do believe it was the kindest thing I could have done for her.
I've said it before, it's never easy say goodbye, but I do know that she's gone to greener pastures, where she can run freely and without pain.
Thanks to everyone for all your love and support during this difficult time.

As you know we have just been through the same thing. My heart goes out to you and Jake.
Sending you love and peace...
Sue, it's so so very hard, I know, but you're right, it was the best thing for her and she was the one you had to look after this time, not you.
You have virtual hugs from Mr Brown, Tigger, Pingu & me.
