[stormforce]

The time has come this week for us to say goodbye to Sox our 15 year old border collie.Last year he had cancer tumours removed and then he had thyroid trouble and now he has diabetes and a couple of other probs.We have decided to let him go On Thursday so he don't have to suffer anymore.In the last 3 months thats been 2 dogs and the cat we have had to have put down due to health reasons.

Sorry to hear about the dog thats so sad to have to say good bye, do you still have the spaniel?

Unfortunately having owned Wolfhounds since 1973, i have been through this quite a few times. All i can say is that when they call it "putting a dog to sleep" thats exactly what it is.
It never gets any easier, but the dog is in peace.

Sorry to hear that Richard it's never easy I gave up having dogs mate I get too attached to pets.

At least with my owl he should live for 35 years he's 15 now so keeping my fingers crossed.

I lost my snowy owl a year ago and was devasted. He used to play fetch with a yellow tennis ball.

Regards JB

sorry to see this...again. it's one of the hardest things to go through since they're as important as human family members and it's us who usually have to decide when the time is right/wrong however you see it.

thoughts with you mate.

Thinking of you at this sad time. It's a hard decision to make.
