just found this thread and sorry for everyone's loss - they are truly valuable members of the family.
We lost out 14.5 yr Jack Russel - Kipper last week, went to the vet as suddenly not well (pancreatitis) then a few days later they said to come and see her progress (was positive) but in a space of overnight and then 1hr before seeing her she went down hill fast and pressured to put her down immediately. This was very sad but worse because it happened so fast that the kids missed out on saying goodbye - our son was gutted.
Then to add lost my job today - hopefully not a 3rd thing coming...
