I know the pain all too well, time heals and thankfully memories live on.
I'm dreading,the inevitable,pained reaction.When my little friends cat,goes ,after 14yrs.
It's just about holding on now.The Vets .managed to save Her,as a Kitten.after it being severely mauled.
The weeping and wailing, as we sat on the wall outside . Was frightening.

Re: yesterday
Given the choice between people and animals I will on most occasions take animals.
They do no harm in most cases, only kill to eat, not for fun, are loyal more so than many humans, and give great pleasure to their owners. All they ask is food and a warm bed, to be loved and in return give untold love of their own kind.
Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: yesterday
first thanks for all the kind posts.. I have always had rescue dogs it takes longer to gain their trust in us humans and if trained right they are much better than having a pup from birth they know know different. every morning after stroke heart and cancer being bed ridden for long periods of time he would be sitting on watch at the side of the day bed we have downstairs then he had his sleep the house seems empty toby was a big softy snoring farting you name it but he was well loved the day he passed he went in for minor surgery he was under when they tried to incubate him they found a large mass at the back of his throat it was cancer and I was given the decision to end his life I could not even think that he would be in any type of pain a few months down the line so I ask the vet to give him the shot they did it while I was on the phone and in less than a minute he was gone from our family its still raw at this time he was well known throughout the area many kids around the area have sent cards even grown neighbours have shed tears over him but like all things you are born to die he was the best companion nurse and friend a man could have and I must say I sobbed like a baby when he left us time will tell again thanks I have not much time for people but animals yes.. jp
