48 hours ago we had the most wonderful, loved and adored five year young Cockerpoo, Alfie who was with us 24/7/365. Tonight we are 5/6 hours into the grieving of having had to put the poor wee man down this afternoon. No alternative, no chances, nothing that could ever recover him from a spinal death that gave him no options of a proper life even if an op’ had succeeded . The best veterinary neuro surgeon in Scotland Jacques told us that he had only once ever seen such a case that Alfie and us have just been so very, very unlucky to have this occur.
I’m a total mess and so I’m playing Tony Joe White for Alfie who absolutely loved his voice and music. Here is a pic of him just a few weeks ago after a haircut when he had just turned five years old.

My condolences, Steve
Euthanasia is a compassionate final gift of caring, for the avoidance of pain and suffering. Our pets have this advantage over us humans!
The separation of losing Alfie is a dreadful experience but you have memories of good times that nothing can take away

Thank you, Debs. The wonderful veterinary neuro surgeon in Stirling after his shocked amazement of Alfies prognosis speaks volumes when he told us that he was glad we had made the decision we had that and he would have done it for one of his own adding that I have never said this to any of my patient owners before. It helped to take a load off and we knew it was a for real statement from one of the best pros in the business (as it turned out).
