18 odd years not a bad innings - real sorry for your loss & one of the hardest things to do, but you made the right decision. 

And nothing silly about crying, in this crazy mad world it is a comfort to have a pet that relies on you and gives you unconditional love. You can be in the worst of moods or just had a real sh|t day, but they will allways put a smile on your dial when you get home. Well almost allways! You know what I mean.

Know exactly what you mean FNM.  Have cried so much today my eyes are red and sore.  We got Gizmo before we had the kids.  One of my favourite memories is when Mini-me was baby.  She was crying and Gizmo was really concerned about that and kept looking at me and the baby and meowing.  Then - and I wouldn't believe this if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes - Gizmo gently pats Mini-me as if to comfort her - or shut her up.  We've got a photo of when my son was a baby and he's screaming his lungs out and Gizmo has come up and the expression on her face is like "what the heck is that noise - I'm outta here!"

Sorry to hear about Gizmo Julz  :'(. They become such a member of the family and your life revolves them that when they go it rips your heart out  :'(.

Take care Julz.

Whatever you do, don't watch "Marley & Me" unless you want to be a blubbering mess.

Sorry to hear about Gizmo Julz

You take care of yourself Julz. I know it's a bloody tough time but just remember the good times of which there were so many and know that you've done the right thing by Gizmo just like Gizmo did for you for 18.5 years

Haven't seen the movie or read the book - a little bit close to home for the Powell family - a reminder of what our wonderful Groucho went through

RIP Gizmo

I have had a few dogs over the journey.

We started with a beagle (nice natured, yet truly stupid dog). Jessie lived till she was 19yo, so had a very long innings.

When jessie was 12yo and on the way out we got a german shepherd called Bobby. He obviously cheered Jessie up to the tune of 7yrs !!!

Then we got Maddie the maltese chitzyu to be Bobby's mate when Jessie was put down. (hahaha, the breed of dog couldnt get thru the swear filter)

So thats the history. Now for the now.

I own 18 greyhounds and made the committment when I got into it that none of my dogs would be put down (bad injury aside). So when one of my racing bunnies got sick I took her into my St Kilda apartment as a pet. She is fantastic friends with Maddie the maltese poozyu and is absolutely sensational with my 2yo daughter. I have never known a kinder, happier and more gentle dog than the greyhound that is currently lying on my bed as I type this post.

Thanks WP and JT, a 13 hour sleep has helped
It was an exhausting day "emotionally".
Like Julz, I had to put her down, but it was the right thing to do for her
