Dogs and other pets

[WilliamPowell]

This is a photo I posted over 13 years ago when we bought this little princess home

This afternoon we had to say goodbye.

Flame, you told us that it was time for you to go and join your big sister Maxii and your beloved big brother Jonty so we let you go.

The last 18 months have been tough for you as dementia impacted. But you just kept fighting on. We thought we were going to lose you over Easter last year after you had that nasty seizure of but you said "nope, not my time to go". Tough and stubborn was your motto

We are heartbroken but know that you are no longer in any pain.

Run free our beautiful girl, we love you 💖

RIP Flame

Such a sad time for any genuine dog lover .. they are part of the family

Sucks that they don’t live as long as we do

RIP Flame 

As Damo said they are part of the family, and it hurts so much when they leave because they have given to us so much unconditional love, joy and friendship. My heartfelt condolences WP. You take care mate.

I had a retired greyhound as a pet
Had been in the Philippines for a long time (longer than expected due to covid)

I arrived home and my best mate Lucky had died literally two days before I got home

Was so heartbroken.. my friend had been looking after him for me and didn’t want to tell me till I was home

I’ve got another dog now and they are all great in their own way , but by stuff it hurts when they die

You're not wrong Damo

We've been "preparing" for this for a while now or so we thought but the pain these past few days has been horrible.

Our focus right now is on the oldest of our 2 Malamutes who is 11 and was very close to Flame. He's missing her big time. So is Rogue but it isn't the same

Sorry for your loss William.

ours is nearly 15 and i am battling 3 very emotional females every time he wakes up as he is closer to the end now.

tough times but also extremely happy to get so many years.

Damo you are spot on. Shame they dont live longer.

Our 2nd heartbreaking goodbye in 6 weeks

We had to say goodbye to our beloved Nisha this week.

In the space of 3 hours we had a happy and healthy elderly boy to needing to make a mercy dash back to Melbourne for emergency vet care (we were on holidays) because he had developed GDV.

We are gutted, broken and at a loss.

Run free Nisha over the rainbow bridge to your sister Flame and big brother Jonty.

Love you mate

RIP Nisha  .

As I said in my PM WP, you take care mate.

RIP Richo. He lived a great life, near on 15.

Im sure others have said on this chat its not a great feeling these days, despite it being time.

He died peacefully at home surrounded by the kids. That was their choice and it was a perfect send off to a legend.

I tried to post a photo of him but i wouldnt have a clue how.

Sorry to hear FJ

My English staffy is going on 16. Arthritic and on medication for seizures. I know the time is coming but I'm hoping she'll see me through the worst of my divorce first and somehow I think she'll know I need her to.

Dogs are better than humans in so many ways.

First dog I had (parents bought it the month I was born), was a beagle
I’m assuming Richo got its brains from the Cavalier side of things

Coz beagles are just a dumb breed   

Looks like a lovely dog mate, photo worked

I’m sure the kids will be devastated

Like WP and I have said a few times in this thread, it’s the worst thing about dogs .. they don’t live long enough

In most ways

Sorry to hear FJ. Lovely pic btw. Cute dog.

They are part of the family and it always hurts when they go.

RIP Richo.
