Oh Nicky, I'm sooo sorry.

At least he's not suffering now ... and that's the important thing ....

Default so sad.......

I'm sorry to hear the bad news

I'll give Knuckles an extra hug for Apollo. You know he will be waiting at the Rainbow Bridge with that big, goofy Rottie smile and a "wiggly nub"!

So sorry to hear the news, Nicky, but he'll be racing around like a young pup, missing you all loads, but he'll be healthy and happy.

Terribly, terribly sad for you, Nicky, but I'm sure you must know that you've done right by him and he's been saved any further sufferig. Take comfort from that and know that he'll still be with you in spirit.

How are the other dogs coping without him?

Oh Nicky, I'm so sorry about Apollo. It is so heart wrenching to have to let them go. Hugs to you all, and a salute to Apollo.

Sending you a big hug Nicky. You did the right thing for your boy and like Keeweegal says, he'll be dashing around like a little puppy again in doggy heaven.

Best wishes

They seem to have gone off their food a bit - they know something has happened and seem more loving (if that is possible). It will be interesting to see how they settle again without the 'top' dog - so to speak.
