Dogs and other pets

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.
