That's sad but you always know when they have had enough. Our old Lab had a brain tumour but lasted 18 months with a good quality of life after the specialist vet told us he probably had 2 weeks left. We still miss him but this pup is a real joy .. we felt we couldn't have another lab after the last one ...
They leave a dog shaped hole that has to be filled!
Ahhh ... so true. We always think of our old dogs at Christmas - they all loved it ... mind you - the turkey leftovers might just have been an influence !
So sorry to hear that Poot
That’s really sad Steve and must have been a shock for your landlord. They have a real knack of getting under your skin in the relatively short time they have with us.So sorry to hear that Poot
I planned to call on my landlord last weekend, check the bees, drop off some candles and polish, it was a beautiful, sunny day last Sunday. He asked if we could postpone popping up as Jack had died suddenly on Saturday morning. He was a lovely little Jack Russell, fifteen years old, I remember him arriving at the farm. He would check the bird feeders for squirrels every morning and he was in hot pursuit when his little heart packed in. He died instantly. Jack would always come to say hello when I went to the bees, I'm really going to miss him.
The way to a dog's love is often through its mouth ... at least to start with until something deeper happens ,....
ohhhh, those eyes. than that reminded when I read a book that in the course of evolution, a dog has specially developed facial muscles to be much more attractive to humans
Aw, it's terrible when they go - we lost our eldest Daxie a few weeks ago (she was 16) had been unwell for a few days, we decided to wait until the morning, she got up went out on the the lawn and just keeled over, died in my arms a few minutes later. It's a real kick in the obejoyfuls when it happens.
Cheers Jenks
Sorry Poot.
