Its a very hard thing to bring yourself to do.
But you have to ask the question 'do these animals have a quality of life?' if the answer is no then you owe it to them to do the right thing. I just put down a beloved pet this july. We had had her for nearly 18 years. It still brings a tear to my eye. Be strong.

I feel your pain. Give them one last kitty treat and a good last hug. Sorry to hear about your loss.

My thoughts are with you Biggles. They've been there for you for 14 years, now you have to be there for them. Better to let them slip away softly than go down piece by piece. Give them a hug from me, even though I never knew them, they are my friends, and so are you.

Sorry for your loss, losing a pet (especially a longtime pet) is always hard.
A few years ago I picked out a cat from the pound, and a few days later (on Christmas eve no less) it died of leukemia. Only had him a week or so, but I still had a tough time with it. I can't imagine how it must feel to put down what by now must feel like two members of you family.

My condolences. Just remember that they had good lives, and were part of a loving family.

Thank you all.
It is over now. They are no longer with us. And I just couldn't stop the tears. I cried in the arms of my father for the first time in a very very long time. I'm still crying, this is just too big for my mind to comprehend right now.

My thoughts are with you too.
You won't probably believe me but I experienced something similar. Me too I was 5 years old when I had my first pet (a cat) her name was Charlotte, she was very affectionate with me. when she was almost 18 she started to feel sharp pain and started to scream, but we were on friday night, there was very little I could do. Next day I took her to the vet (naively believing they could do something), the veterinarian told me that she had about 12-24 hours left to live, I was completly shocked. It was the first time in my adult life that I really weep. Charlotte 1985-2003 ...I will always remember... I have no desire to give you advice, all I can do is to listen to everything you're gonna write here. “There is no happiness without courage, neither virtue without fight.” J.-J. Rousseau |

And for this, I thank you with all my heart. Advice don't bring the dead back. What I need is a place to write down some of my sorrow until I find a good rl person to do it with.
