So sorry to hear about your loss. I had to say goodbye to Skiffle last year, after 12 years together. She had an operation to examine a lump on her face and the vet called from the surgery room to say it was an advanced tumour and she only had weeks at best. She'd been very poorly right before going in, so the best thing was to let the vet increase the anaesthetic while she was already out, and let her slip away. I could have brought her home and nursed her for a few days or weeks, but she had been so poorly it seemed kindest to let her go there and then, rather than make her linger so I could say goodbye. I left at the vet's in the morning and never saw her again. It was a hard decision to make.
