No probs mate .It’s a bit raw for me  knowing my old terrier will be next .

Shes been one of the best I’ve owned ,loves the family and vice versa .

Just shit that they grow old out of kilter with us mate .

I put this girl down in the past,and together we harvested near 200 goats,a nice number of deer ,and shit loads of rabbits ,...it was mentally draining having to put her to sleep but she had very aggressive cancer ,...it was the right thing to do but not an easy thing to do ,I know what you will be facing in the future,just keep reminding yourself it's the best thing for her ....

ok then, you tell me exactly how shoot the dog, do you use pistol, or rifle , 2nd where do you shoot it, is just back of the head .? and is it instant  death .? like said the huntman, who work for the kennels, kill any old or injured hounds. all iknow that from the deaths of my lurchers who been pts, old bryn was last dog 18 months, it was very good gentle , different  situation  when done at the hunt kennel. i not saying it not done right, but by choice i deff use my vet again with old Buck when i have to, you can pm if you want.!   

Mate, I can only speak for myself, rifle, head,  and absolutely instant. I'd also add I'm not worth tuppence in the run up to it and I'm fcuked for a while after. I wouldn't have it any other way though and thankfully not all that often and hopefully years apart. Absolutely not knocking your way, just giving an insight into the other.

It is mate had the day off work aswell. It came to £310 though money was never the issue for the old dog. Even the wife though both of us upset said how quik and peaceful it was. Then I came out with the familiar last words when one has a dog put down no fekin more dogs for me.

Shooting a dog is shit, mine, families or mates. I hate it. But I haven’t yet been able to bring myself to do it any other way.

Some lads are ruthless and think nothing of it. But I think the general uninitiated opinion that everyone who chooses that method is of the same mindset is way off. It’s about duty, not money.

And I’ll not judge another for choosing a vet. The consequences of emotions clouding your ability to deliver that last act are not worth the risk. Again, it’s about duty to that animals welfare.

Just had same with one of our terriors today. He would have been 13 in a few weeks time. Same company, serenity in Doncaster. Very good service and understanding.

RIP dilly dog

Buried him in the garden and planted an apple tree. Variety called Red Devil.....because he was pretty close to a devil! Definitely a character and won't be forgotten.

Nice touch that mate. I received a sympathy card from serenity a week after that I thought was nice of them

I get a card and a pack of flower seeds from my vet shortly after I have my dogs PTS because I take them home and bury them in the garden.

Cheers, D.
