Our Pets

[junglegirl]

The gift of canines is the greatest gift goodness gave to sufferers of post traumatic stress I believe. The unconditional love I received from my dog goose faithful while I experienced the worst of my symptoms never angering, so intelligent, so loving; I simply cannot express how much she healed me. My current loves are longfellow-a dacshund mix-i named him;) and lion king who protect my house at night and accompany and wait for me outside the shops orwherever I am walking. Sometimes I forget they are outside waiting as they are free to be off the leash atall times where I live but whenever I do exit they are sitting outside waiting.I have never met more intelligent beings than the canine and I am happy the world is finally begining to wake up and say wow these animals are amazingly intelligent.I thank goodness for making dogs the greatest gift bestowed to humans.

Max is a complete maniac in the bluebells.

Saffi is much calmer and sedate.

And sometimes Max stops.

Took my youngsters for a nice long walk in the countryside this weekend. The old boy was with my Dad.

Have an appointment at the vets tomorrow as our cat is not eating enough to keep a fly alive.

She wont eat cat food anymore, turns away from chicken and fish, so we are now onto chicken jelly or a bit of raw mince.

Fingers crossed. I know how much that particular furry critter means to you both.

Dear amethist, may I ask, is this the cat you were worried about before? Does your post mean that, well... That she's on her way "back home"? Please, you know, that you don't have to answer me. But know, that I will think of the two of you and of your furry friend as well.

Hey @KP the nut, what a lively, joyous picture. I really love your happy maniac! Great picture!:tup:

I have taken our cat to the vets and left her for test, antibiotics and fluids and try to get her to eat their food.

They said the small amount she is eating is enough considering her age and size.

So we are going to give her a chance, bugger the cost and even if it means hand feeding her chicken mince and fish.

I will update you when I hear form the vets later today.

The news from the vets was not good in the end. They said she was showing all the signs of a brain tumour.

We made the decision to let her go as she would have only got worse and suffered.

We are upset and did not get much sleep last night, but we have some wonderful memories and beautiful photographs of her

This is a photo of her in her favourite sun spot.

She was a beautiful cat. She reminds me of my Sharise. Loved her to the moon and back. Hold on to the memories.

Dear @amethist, I'm very sorry for the loss of your beautiful furry friend. I'm sure it was a very painful decision to make for both of you. But you did the right thing, to let her go. This shows, how much she was loved by you; That much, that you had the strength to end her pain and suffering. My heart is with both of you.

Thank you for that joyful picture. It seems, she was a real bon-vivant, and what a beautiful one!

I had a dog that was my best friend. The best dog I ever had. I still miss her to this day. She was my faithful sidekick and I could walk her on the street and she would heel right besides me. She played volley ball with balloons and she was such a sweetheart. I had to put her down because she was in so much pain in the end. The vet gave my daughter the shot to help her sleep until we got her to the vet. Then he gave her the final shot and she was dead as soon as he gave her the shot. I sobbed and sobbed. I had her cremated so she will always be with me.

I have done this with some other cats I used to have and my little dog.

But Mysty was the best dog I ever had. She was part Springer Spaniel and Black Lab. If I found another dog like that I would have it. She was so smart and trained so well by me and the kids. We really worked with her.

I got her at the pound and when I picked her up she clung to me like get me out of here. She was a puppy. When we got home right away, she found her bed and rolled around in it as if to say, I am home.

She was trained to whisper when she barked. But she was also a good protector. I miss her so much.

Sparkles, my eldest cat(13), is actually in the living room on my lap, which makes using the computer difficult, but makes me happy. He hasn't done this in over three years because of the little dog being such a spaz. She, Buddy, seems to be taking his being here in stride. I'm so glad my kitty is finally here. Though he seems annoyed by my typing! lol
