Silky

Silky is back at Daybreaks today as we are on holiday for a week. So sad to leave her but she was happy to see LadyVictoria and I'm sure she'll be well looked after, fingers crossed for the lovely forever home that you deserve Silky xxx

I can only echo what most have put on here what a truly terrible decision to have to make. Please do not beat yourself up over this, I know you will! Accidents happen and life is sometimes very unfair but you did your absolute best for your boy but we're beaten by a very unjust system. My heart goes out to you.

My girl had to have over 11 teeth out today, don't know the exact number at the moment! ! Bless her. I was very concerned earlier and very worried for Bessie, but when I went onto this site and read a heartbreaking and callous story I soon changed my tune as later I will pick my baby up and bring her home unlike Merlin's Mum who has lost her precious boy. There is always someone going through a hell of a lot worse than you, and that more than proved it to me today.

I have given my cuddle today to Merlin, however, I think half of it should go to his poor Mum. This is one of the saddest stories I have ever read on here. It does make you lose your faith in human nature. 'Your dog killed mine so your dog should die too' attitude, is appalling. What an awful ordeal for someone to have to go through, I hope Merlin's Mum takes some comfort from all the caring and supportive comments on here and that compassion still exists in this world. God bless you, you are such a brave woman xxxx Y

Having been involved with greyhounds for most of my life, I have never read such a heartbreaking accident. My heart truly goes out to you Ina and to merlin who is now running in those green, green fields above. I sincerely hope Ina that you are surrounded by huge emotional and financial support at this dreadful time. Shine brightly down merlin for your mom.

This is one of the most heart-breaking things I have ever read. It must have been complete torture for the past few months. Your decision is undoubtedly one of the hardest you have ever had to make but it is also one of the most courageous and selfless things I have ever heard of. Much love x

How terribly sad. This is a situation that we all dread, but you must never blame yourself for giving your boy a wonderful new life and for being so brave and so honourable as to let him go in the worst way imagineable for you but the best and kindest way for him. Its a great pity that there aren't more dog people around like you. I know its no comfort at all but my thoughts are with you and so are the thoughts of many others. I'm sending today's hug to Merlin at Rainbow Bridge and also to you, your selflessness is inspiring.

Oh my god, I just logged on and am now sitting here crying. I cannot believe what I have just read and my heart is breaking for you and the decision you had to take. And you did take the right one - the alternative was too terrible to contemplate. Merlin will run free at the bridge knowing he was immensely loved and cherished. This tragic story will stick in my mind for a long long time. Sending you love and hugs and also to merlin at the bridge. Xx
