RE: OPEN ALL HOURS - 374

Good morning all, yes it's still bright and sunny at the moment.



Never argue with a fool; onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.

morning all

had to make that dreadful decision this morning that every pet owner has to do. had to take the dog to the vet to be put to sleep, even though you know you have made the right decision it is still hard

the worst bit is now, im on the lap top and still feel i can hear him behind me. i hope he s gone to a better place.

So sorry to hear your news Steph, I don't envy you that one.

when you go to the vets with your pet when they are young and just having a check up or vaccination etc, you always see other people in that situation and then it becomes your turn. perry had a good life, he ws a very small yorkshire terrier with all the attitude that went with it. he belonged to the other halfs mother and when she went into a home he took him on. he become blind about two years ago but managed.

it was the right decision. but i have just been to get fish and chips and brining them back into the house without him scrounging for a bit of fish was awful. still we will be taking all the bedding etc to one of the rescue centres this week end.

Its always a hard decision to make and being a family that is always surrounded by pets it is one we have had to make many times. My wife always leaves it to me to make the final decision, but always insists on being there at the end. Now that is something I cannot do, and I wait outside perhaps it makes the wife feel better knowing that she is not the one who has said yes or no, but I am glad to do it both for the animal and the wife.

hi steph so sorry to hear that you have lost your dog...i think most of us have had to make that very difficult decision to say goodbye to a much loved pet and part of the family....ive still got 5 very much loved cats and have lost many in the past but i try to console myself by thinking that the ones we have lost could have had such a very sad life..maybe roaming the streets scrounging for food in all weathers or being ill treated by their owners...instead we give them a warm home..plenty of food and most important of all our love...
