Just had my dog Ellie put to sleep. Very upsetting

[halfwise]

Sorry to hear that. It's like a whole chapter of life closed.

[azriel]

Im SO so sorry Chris ! Pets break your heart was she unwell ?

[chris63]

She was 16, eyes were scabbing up looked shocking. Legs going, bladder going. (sounds like me)

[azriel]

Ive a 15 yr old cat that's dodgy. I don't expect her to be around long, just hope when she goes she goes in her sleep as going to the vets is my biggest fear.

Remember the love. you loved each other. That's all you need.

[malickfan]

so sorry to hear that chris, she looked like a lovely dog. Our last dog was nearly 18 years old when we had to put him to sleep, it was a very tough, sad decision to make but he was in poor health, sometimes the hardest decisions to make our also the kindest, just remember the many years of good times rather than dwelling on the sad ending.

How'd he get on there?

[azriel]

I know dogs can be sneaky but that's only if you've got long legs.
And this guy is a Corgi

Labs are born rescue dogs. He probably went out there first to make sure the dolphin wasn't drowning. I was at a swimming hole once with a rope swing, and everytime someone swung into the water, the splash would be followed by a second as a lab jumped in and accompanied the swimmer back to shore.

Golden Retrievers are lovely dogs also. They've got that rescue gene too

Puppy gets excited.

Good poker face on the golden dog.

It was the commentary I liked

My daft dog & one of my cats going for a walk together




And one of the other cats going for a walk with Simi,



They do this every evening, I know its because of being with Simi because they don't do this when I go out alone. I usually have 3 cats follow us, I call them the "get a long gang"

[halfwise]

wow, that's cool that they've bonded with the dog. That orange cat is gorgeous. Will Simi run off if not on a leash? I've always felt that if I finally get a true country home, with the next house a football pitch away, I'd have a dog that would roam free. That's the way all dogs used to be even in surburbia, but now they're all leashed.

[azriel]

I am so lucky, Ive got 6 cats & they all get on with Simi. I think its because he's a big softie & very quiet & the cats sense that. Yeah, I can let him of the lead tho here its supposed to be the law that you keep your dog on a lead, the only ones going around with their dogs trotting along free are the morons who think they look 'hard', We call them chavs, you probably call them trailer trash.

[halfwise]

Though all dogs are supposed to be on a leash in the city, in Central Park there's an ordiance that dogs can be free between dawn and 9 am and again after 9 pm.  You go there in the morning and it's absolutely packed with more dogs than people. Pretty magical, really.  I think outside high density areas dogs should be collared but free, with the owner responsible for any problems so they leash them if need be.

I can't find a picture that matches what I saw, but this will do:

[azriel]

We do have dog park areas that dogs can run off lead, & a lot of public parks don't mind either. The council here get snippy about dogs on the beach which has pissed off a lot of people ! There is more trouble caused on the beach & along the promenade from druggies/drunks/vandals & arsonists than any dog could do.
That pic is lovely !!!
