Been humming the tune all day! Before anyone thinks I'm weird, it was shamelessly pinched from another forum I visit, I didn't go searching youtube for it!

Big hugs coming your way. We had to put our boy on the home page PTS due to grass sickness. The second worse day of my life. Be strong.

Oh Lianne, I am so sorry for you and am shedding tears for you and Tony today. We had to make the same awful decision almost a year ago to have our baby shire, Ruby, PTS (she's the shire on the left in my avatar). We are still raw from it and I have found your thread so difficult to read. Ruby was only 2 1/2 years old, a baby, and she should have had her whole life ahead of her. Other than her funny walk caused by a spine deformity which she grew into (and was the reason she had to leave us), it was as if she was a perfectly healthy shire. So that made the final decision to have her PTS so difficult. There was always that "what if there's a way that she can get better" question at the back of our minds, especially when we went down to London to visit her one last time at the hospital, and she was her usual happy, cheeky self, scoffing all the apples and mints we could feed her! It was hard to believe there was anything wrong with her and that was the hardest part of all - I was beside myself with guilt and grief. We knew, because the experts had told us, that there was nothing more that could be done for her and the last thing we wanted was to bring her home again and find her one day collapsed in the field.

Keeping a clipping of hair is a lovely way to remember the happy times. I will keep Ruby's hair forever, as I'm sure you will keep Rosie's.

If you have some photographs of Rosie, it would be really nice if you would post them in the "Gone but not forgotten" section of this forum - when you are ready - it would be a lovely tribute to your girl.
