So sorry for your loss 3dogs Dogs are like little children.
Hopefully you'll find it in your heart someday to take on another lost soul :A

We have the other two and, although we never meant to have 3 in the first place as 2 is a better number pack-wise, if another doggie comes knocking, looking for a new home, I wouldn't hesitate

Thanks so much for all the lovely messages and the poems have been beautiful. A friend, Beanielou, posted the rainbow one on my DFW Diary thread tonight. I hadn't heard it before and thought it was lovely, as are the others posted on here tonight. Thanks guys, it is so good to have somewhere to share these things :A

Blondynurse, I will be thinking of you tomorrow hun. Oddly, I read up on the internet when the vets gave me Bonnie's blood results and probable diagnosis, and found that Bonnie's actions over the past couple of years matched the symptoms so closely. Drinking more water and wee-ing anywhere anytime are the more obvious, but lack of co-ordination, change in temperment, greed/hunting for food, yapping for no reason ...... all things Bonnie started to do and all listed there. It would seem that Bonnie probably had either renal disease or cushings disease which is a small tumour on the pituitary glands which affect the brain, thus leading to all these changes. Treatment can be simple, but the cancer-type drugs used can have very bad side-effects, so I was not willing to put Bonnie through this, especially as the vet said that she might not end up with a good quality of life still even after that treatment. So glad you told your kids though, they will thank you for that and understand why the decision was made (((hugs))) hun

It has been a downer night on the thread, but the spirit of the community here has once again been highlighted

Frequent & tazmac25 - how terrible to have buried daughters My nephew was killed by a train when taking a shortcut over a railway line 17 years ago. He was only 21 and my sister and brother-in-law have never been the same since It is so hard to cope with a loss of a young life. I remember 9 years ago, when I took Bonnie and my then little boy Billy (not the one we have now) out for a walk and had locked the back door, but turning to find a stray English Bull Terrier and two Boxer pups coming round the couner of the house. Things get a little vague from this point but the bull terrier grabbed Billy by the neck and started to shake him. Billy was squealing, Bonnie was keeping out of the way best she could, as where the boxer pups and I was hitting the bull terrier on the head with the handle of the retractable lead and then with a plank of wood. The squealing stopped but he didn't let go. Instead he tried to make off with the now dead Billy so I hauled on the nylon cord of the lead, burning my hands, and he evetnually dropped Billy, who I picked up and, keeping Bonnie as close to me as possible, unlocked the door and got back inside. This is the most horrific thing I have ever gone through, and I remember saying many times that night and in the following days, 'If it's like this losing Billy, I can't imagine how it must have been, and still be, for my Sis and B-i-L, losing their only son, especially the way they did. My tears have started again. I have kept them in mostly today as Mr 3Dogs was so distraught, I felt I needed to stay strong for him

Oh dear, instead of picking the thread up, I have dragged it back down into dispair again. Sorry for that. Only good thoughts of Bonnie now. And good vibes for glitches at Mr T tomorrow. dog food would be nice

Night Night all, I am worn out, but thanks again for all your pm's and messages on here - you guys are amazing - this thread is amazing - but we still need HC back

Morning all - just catching up. Difficult times for many - huge hugs.

January is often an edgy month for a lot of reasons - post Xmas blues, short days and often grim weather, finances tight after a December overspend. It is traditionally a month of looking forward and that is sometimes a very difficult thing to do if there is sadness today. I hope sad memories will gradually morph into good memories and that there will be some good things ahead for everyone xxx

Hi everyone, 3-dogs and Blondynurse, I hope you manage to get through the next wee while without your pets OK. It is always so sad when the time comes for a pet to go:(

I had to skip the last few pages as I was finding it too difficult to read all the poems etc.
I just have to think about our wee pooches from the past and I am a wreck, and god forbid anything should happen to our current little princes Zoe (she is very accident prone, so has already adopted the vet as part of her pack).

Got some wee bargains at MrT's tonight, will try and post pics tomorrow.

Surprise egg 17p Like a kinder but plastic.
Bubbles on a lanyard 20p (pictures have been posted previously by others) Princess types and toy story and cars.

Parachute ts3 50p

Hope this helps folks.

Need my bed
Night all:)
