Pandora was almost 17 human years old, had a form of canine Alzheimer's Disease, and just wasn't as mobile and alert as she will be remembered as being.
Naturally, the folks are cut up about it and Steph and I feel their sadness too, as we currently have four of our own animals, and have buried a few in our short number of years together. It's always a sad occasion, and this is no different, even if it is justified as being humane.
Pandora now has her own private place under the big tree in the front garden where she can continue to chase the monkeys away from the birdseed. RIP, old girl...

Not much to smile about...
in the Douglas family today...
Mum's faithful little Fox Terrier, Pandora, was "put to sleep" this morning. In a joint decision taken by mum and dad, it was decided to put her out of her misery.

What with Pandora and Buddie it's been a bad day for animal news.
Poor Mum...it's horrible when you lose a pet, you don't half miss them.
Much as Maisie the mad Boxer drives me nuts I dread the day she needs to go. I can't even bring myself to leave her in the kennels and have to get Geoff to go.
Not a nice thing to lose a pet.... hugs all round Steve....
Salagatle!
