Once again, a final thank you to everyone who contributed to this thread. She was very peacefully, calmly and lovingly put to sleep at Midday today. No stress, done by the same vet who gave her the 8-week injections when she was a little puppy (so she was pleased to see him again this morning...
Update...
I rang the vets at 9am this morning and we had the option of 11.30am this morning, but we felt that was very sudden.
She's going to be fussed and pampered today and tonight, then tomorrow late morning we're taking her down to the vets.
It'll be a huge 'release' for us all, as well...
