Mate thats heart breaking 
Had exactly the same situation. We had a King Charles Cavalier who had a heart murmur. Found out when he was about 4 years old and six month later started getting sicker and sicker. Until eventually I came down one morning and he was in his basket next to the kitchen radiator woke up when I came in, waged his tail. I said hello, and by this time we knew he was very ill, he was slow, but it didn't dampen his enthusiasm to see me. Opened the back door to let him into the garden, when to put the kettle on and when I locked back he was laying by the door looking out into the garden. Its only when I went to see what he was doing did I realize he had died.
Most heartbreaking moment of my life so far bar the exception of my Grandfather Dieing.
I really do feel for you mate, its so hard to loose one, because in the end, they become part of the family, and you know they love you as much as you love them.
No other animal does that, I mean, cats? Phish

I cany help but feel how lucky you were to be there for her and to be holding her when she went
Think of it from her point of view , what possible better way to go than in the arms of somone who you loves and who loves you back so much
I think its perfect mate , I know its very very hard for you but a special moment for you both

I have had a cat, and I hate em, creap about only giving you attention when they want something. I mean, a cat was never bloody happy to see me when I got home! Nor did it ever come to me to play or just have a cuddle. Bah, will never have one again. But thats my opinion

Sorry to hear that, just thinking about losing my Buster chokes me. He's 9 now, Collie x German Shepherd, seen me through 5 gf's, plenty of rough times, I've even been to court for him. When his time comes, he's going to be cremated, and then when its my time, he'll be buried with me.
And for those that aren't dog people, you'll never know what a true, loyal friend is until you've had a dog.

As some of you may know one of my cute miniature jack russel dogs became ill a few months ago. After numerous visits to the vets and emergency vets I took her to a heart specialist it appears she was born with mitral valve stenosis .
With this type of heart disorder they only live to 2.5 she managed 5.5 years.She had shown no signs of any illness up until recently.
She became breathless again on sat night I thought if i just calm her down and get her to sleep she would recover as she had done in the past.
She became worse and worse and the look on her face of help me please was heart breaking.
It appeared to me that this was now her time she had done nothing excessive at all all day.
I comforted her through out the night as best as I could she eventually died in my arms at 7.45 am on Sunday morning
The heart break has been unreal I can only liken it to loosing a child
This has been the worse day of my life
I buried her in her favourite spot in the garden
sad time
RIP my little one gone but never forgotten
all fellow animal lovers will know how the kids and I are feeling right now

Tony - that is really sad news. I can share the pain. I remember standing in the rain, down in the woods at the bottom of our garden burying one of our dogs after they had died at the vets. Broke my heart and still does today for all of the poor buggers we had to bury down there :-(.

Cracking wee dog mate, looks so healthy and fit there, you should be proud though mate that you gave her a good 5.5 yrs of life, alot of dogs out there to be honest would be better off no more the way they are treated and conditions they live in,
Jsper has that look, gonna be a hand full, little terror!
RIP

Sorry to hear that man, I remember posting on your thread about it a while back. I know it's crap, worst thing about pets is as you say it's like losing a family member. On a positive note, depending on how you look at it, atleast it didn't happend when you were out or in bed asleep. Chin up, you know you did all you could.

Really sorry to hear of your loss Tony, you are right, these pets become part of our family and leave a real gap when they go.
We have lost all three of our cats on the roads now. The last one, Ted, really was a big loss to us, we had always said how he was so perfect as a pet, no trouble, so affectionate etc. The worst bit is that we were SO close to never having the answer. I had been out looking for him on Sunday morning, at which time his remains had been moved off the road, I could have so easily found him like that which would have broken my heart. I didn't walk that way, luckily (in an odd way). He did lose his collar in the accident and somebody took him to the vets, but they were about to dispose of him by the time we found out where he was (Wednesday) and we would have never known.
It is terrible to lose a pet, but at least its a little better when you know what has happened and you know that whatever pain they were in is over.
It does get easier eventually, but as a family who adore our pets, we know how it feels. Just remember the good times and appreciate the time you have with your other pets.

Really sorry to hear your sad news mate. Console yourself (to some degree) knowing that you gave her the happy life that she deserved. I'm dreading the day i'm in your position and my boy is only 3.
All the best buddy.
