I had Patrick from Friday lunchtime until about 8pm last night, and now I've given him back, I'm absolutely crushed lol. Due to work commitments and living in a first floor flat, alone, it would be cruel to own a dog. I leave at 5am and sometimes don't get home until 6:30-7:00pm. But weekends are generally fine. So I didn't want this puppy to think I was boring, and that's a lot of pressure to put on oneself. It's like a middle-age man trying to impress his kids and act cool! So I've lived in and around Sinfn for 12 years and only just discovered that there is a "Nature Reserve" at Sinfin Moor, and I took Patrick there 5 times! I let him lead the way each time and decide which path to take. He's only 9 months old and likes to sniff everything, so it takes ages to walk 100yds! lol. I really enjoyed my time with him, I am a massive lover of dogs and as said frequently, I prefer them to humans, by a long way, and Patrick is easily one of my most favouritest living things! I spent most of the weekend laughing at him and play-fighting with him. he is obsessed with ears though. He's pulled the ears off all his teddys and bunnies and always nibbles my ears when play fighting. Anyway, he's with his grandma now cos I had to go back and do responsible things like Work! My life feels empty again and I can focus on booing Keogh! uttoxram75, DarkFruitsRam7, Bubbles and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 So, all give your pets an extra fuss, and if they look confused, tell them it’s from Mostyn. I was peacefully doing my ironing about an hour or so ago, by the window, that overlooks a busy Grampian Way in Sinfin. I heard a thud, instinctively looked out of the window to witness a dog running into moving traffic. Suffice to say I’ve shed tears a few times since seeing it. The car behind stopped, and the absolute gentleman driving it tried what he could and showed genuine love for the dog he probably didn’t know. After he carried it off the road and gently placed it on the lawn beside the road, the owner appeared with the lead in her hand, witnessing her reaction will live with me for a very long time, as will seeing the driver, totally blameless, who hit the dog, but stopped around the corner as his kids were in the car. After about ten minutes, the lady owner said goodbye to her dog before collapsing trying to lift the dog wrapped in a blanket, before being pulled away by someone, and the real true gentleman, who i dont know, but admire greatly, gently wrapped the dog a bit more snugly in the blanket and carried it to a car. Owner and driver totally inconsolable. A lovely dog gone just like that. ?? ketteringram, Will the Ram, DarkFruitsRam7 and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 We have 2 ragdoll cats. One is now just a year old and behaves like a kitten still, with its mad running and jumping everywhere and general playfulness - which has been (not surprisingly) massively un-appreciated by the old one, who is around 15 years old, deaf and recently also become partially sighted. You can imagine how much she loves being jumped on from all angles and had taken to hiding in the spare room wardrobe pretty much all of the time, to get some peace. Until a couple of weeks ago, when they went to a cattery for 3 days while we went camping. They now appear to be pretty much inseparable. Sleeping together and grooming each other. Sharing food etc. I have no idea what went on while we were away - it wasn't even their first time at the cattery - but they appear to have come back as besties.

dog Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Ours is on the way out. The thin balance between enjoying life and suffering has clearly been crossed. The vet had said it would be quick and he wasn't wrong. Heart disease She didn't have breakfast this morning, she's not walking. Took her to see my folks for the last time this morning Had her as a rescue dog eleven years ago so she's done well Taking her to the vet on Wednesday Indyram, Pearl Ram, Wolfie20 and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie20 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 It's so hard but you're doing the right thing. You'll never replace them and it's understandable when people say "we won't have another one" but personally I would - the joy pets can bring, sometimes over many years, outweighs the heartache when you lose one.

dog Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Just taken her for her penultimate walk to the top of the road. I know that I am doing the right thing But this is mourning before mourning at our house She was a rescue dog which my wife bought,. Having the hound kept my sanity and because she needed running saved my health as I needed to run with her Having a pet is beautiful, but unless it's a tortoise you are destined for a long good bye sheeponacid, Steve How Hard?, i-Ram and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilkleyram Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 On Friday we had to make the same decision about our 11 year old Cocker Spaniel @dog. Many tears have been shed. The younger one misses his mate, I'm looking around for him on walks and force of habit nearly made me put his tea out tonight. I've just spent an hour reliving memories via photographs of walks taken over the years, particularly since I retired. And I have a new screensaver. I share your pain. But if there's a small piece of comfort it is that I know it was the correct decision for him. Not for me perhaps, but certainly for him. And the memories that he leaves behind are all happy ones not only for me but for the missus and the kids and grand kids for whom he was a significant part of their formative years. He is remembered with love, joy and laughter as I'm sure your girl will be, and what more could any of us ask?
