You may remember my DD1 adopted a rescue staffy a year ago.
She was thought to be about 12 years old and had been used in a puppy farm.
She'd been thrown out when a prolapse stopped her being bred from again.
She turned out to be blind and deaf and much older than 12.
She adored the family and they adored her.
Ella has been to the vets a few times in the last few weeks with various health issues.
Today we took her to the vets for the last time, she was put to sleep this morning.
DD1 and her family are all upset but consoling themselves with the thought that Ella had a wonderful last year, she was so spoilt as everyone knew she didn't have long.
I went with DD1 for moral support, Ella had breakfast of fresh chicken and smoked salmon, her favourite.
She went to sleep in DD1's arms.
Scrimping and saving, ranting and raving. Past retirement age.

A sad day but Ella had the best last year of life and the best last day/end possible. Well done to DD and family for taking her in and giving her so much love.
I'm so sorry to read this. X
Having just lost my own dog I can sympathise with their loss.
Sleep tight Ella-x-
Sending our condolences x
I know what it's like to lose a pet no matter how long you've had them and it's always hard. I have admiration for your daughter and her family for taking on an older dog with disabilities, who need as much, if not more, love and comfort as any other. RIP Ella.
So sorry for DD1 always hard but at least one year for Ella was amazing
A sad day for you all, but your daughter gave Ella a wonderful last year, She will be playing happily over the Rainbow Bridge, with my Toby and all the other dogs who have been loved and lost.

Safe journey over the Rainbow Bridge little Ella. Thank goodness you knew some kindness in your last year. Bless your daughter and her family for taking her in .
So very sorry for this loss, but happy that Ella's last year was spent knowing she was loved and cared for.
Take comfort from what you did for her final year.
Your daughter and her family did a wonderful thing for Ella. Animals just don't live long enough.
So sad but so glad she had the best year of her life with your family.
A wonderful year of love and comfort.
I know you and the family will still be hurting, but well done all of you. So many people overlook the oldies, it takes courage to take one on, but Ella's story shows how special it can be.
