    Sorry to hear about your furry moron HHD. A pet is part of the family & when they pass it’s devastating. My cocker spaniel passed over the rainbow bridge in November. He was 2 months short of his 15th birthday. He left a huge hole in my heart and I miss him every day but I console myself knowing that he had a good life ����

    Sorry to hear this HH :( At least you tried. A few years ago our 19 year old cat died while DD was on holiday. I didn't tell her while she was away. The first thing she did when she got home was ask where the cat was, she was heartbroken when I told her. I don't envy you that job.

    It's very upsetting to lose a pet but the joy they give back far outweighs the sadness xx

    Thank you SA. I'm glad we took him to the vet. The living room seems very empty without him :(.

    Sorry to hear about the furry moron. If you were like me I have held conversations with my cat before now. Am sure your rabbit appreciated being in the lounge with you . It's hard losing a pet , as they are part of your family .
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.
