Dogs and other pets

[WilliamPowell]

Condolences Frankie

You and your family take care and hold the memories close.

Thanks everyone.

Andy, we also had him on meds to deal with seizures, and in the end combined with cushings and arthritis his body struggled and started to give up.

They are better than humans and loyal.  I still recall times when he wouldn't leave the kids room if they were sick no matter what.

Hope you get a few more years Andy. That's a sensational innings. Richo was buried in a pet cemetery out near belgrave road, next to another dog called  Lucky who died at 22.

Most English staffies go 12-14 years so I consider myself blessed she's gone nearly 16 given she started seizures a good 5 years ago.

I give her cartrophen injections every 4 weeks, paracetamol morning and night, green lip muscle extract daily, and I've just invested in an electric heat pad for her kennel. All to keep her as comfortable as possible.

When she goes I'll have her cremated and spread her ashes with mine when I die.

Adopted her in 2014, was an overweight and anxious breeding bitch. Has been the most amazing companion but I have less time for her now with 4 kids which is sad.

My Oscar (Jack Russell x Mini Foxy) celebrated his 18th birthday last week. Eye sight is fading, missing a few teeth, did both back leg cruciates in a matter of a month or so and has bald patches where he has licked himself too much but despite all that still enjoys going for a walk. Currently snoring his head off

Go hard Oscar .. sensational innings !!

I’ve got a Maltese shih tzu called Ewok .. I’m sure no photo is needed to work his name out .. in general he’s a good boy but needs to improve in areas (sounds like a profile for some of the younger Richmond players) .. he’s nearly 2yo

Still miss my greyhound a lot .. they are sensational dogs

Yesterday our hearts broke as we had to say goodbye to Oscar as his health had rapidly declined over the past 2 weeks. Whilst we knew it was inevitable and would be sooner rather than later, it was still hard. We had 18 wonderful years with him and he will live on in our hearts

[WilliamPowell]

My heartfelt condolences Julz

No matter their age, losing them is so bloody hard.

Hold the memories close and never forget the greatest lessons they teach us without even trying and that's unconditional love and loyalty

RIP Oscar

18 years wow Julz. What breed?

Sorry to hear.

My English Staffy just turned 16...deaf and can't be walked or exercised anymore but she just seems to keep going...

4 weekly cartrophen injections done by me. Paracetamol twice a day. Green lip mussel extract + turmeric every day. Switched to wet food. Anti-seizure meds twice a day.


Oh, and I got her an electric blanket this winter for her kennel

Thats tough, but great at the same time.

18 years is sensational.

Sorry for your loss Julz.

Jack Russell x Mini Foxy

He is the second pet we’ve lost in the past 5 months. Had a 16 year old cat pass away in March. We still have a 12 year old Ragdoll and a not quite 2 year old Aussie Shepherd x Border Collie. Still the house is a lot quieter

We lost 2 of our dogs in the space of 6 weeks earlier this year. Been bloody tough, things just aren't the same.

We got a new Malamute puppy about a month after we lost Flame but then 2 weeks later we lost Nisha to GDV.

We are so glad we decided to bring Hope our new puppy (Alaskan Malamute) into our family when we did. Hate to think where we'd all be especially our 5 yo Malamute Rogue without her

Take care Julz

Two in six weeks - that would be devastating!
I’m getting Oscar cremated and I get a lovely tumbled river stone memorial from a company called Talking Stones. Also decided to do up a photo book as I have so many photos, some I had completely forgotten all about.
