Yesterday i woke up with the idea that today was going to be the day. Got up and fed the pooches, and to my surprise she ate much better than the preceding day or two. Watched her closely and it seemed as if she was just having difficulty passing a stool, which led to her being almost herself after that. With the rain she cuddled up to me on the couch and that was that, im not quite taking that drive yet. Then the mindgames started: how i almost made an incorrect decision to end her life. That thought is still playing in my mind as i type this; it just seems too big a decision for a human to make.

 

On 29 March 2018 i had to put my Rambo to sleep. His suffering was more obvious and the decision was “easier” - his breathing became problematic as a result of lymphoma and his appetite had gone.

 

Quintus, my new pup (he is 2 in May), i worry how he will cope with losing his “mommy”. I worry about these things because my rotties are my life subsequent to my divorce in 2013 and the many failed attempts at having human relationships with potential partners. It is what it is.

 

Apologies for the unhappy post, it helps talking about it.

 

That was me 2 years ago with my doberman, there comes a time when you will know to make the right decision is about the only consolation I can offer.

Ellie has taken an interest in dads work. Maybe she could even join one day, will keep the people on their toes.

Take each day as it comes on its merits and enjoy the time while it lasts,

Zoltan has a severe case of cabin fever now. His latest way to amuse himself is to run around with half bricks in his mouth or anything else heavy he can find.

This beautiful girl passed away unexpectedly last night. She managed to get out the window and was walking along the exterior windowsill of my 5th storey flat. My son saw her walking past him while he was watching telly and told me asap and I tried to get her to come to the easiest window to get back in, but she decided to try turning around on the ledge and slipped. I'd only had her for 18 months, after saving her from a family that were going to put her down instead of taking her with to Malawi. 

 

I'm broken, and my son is distraught. We both heard the impact. She was dead by the time I got to her. 

 

RIP Arya. Your annoyingly high affection and beautiful demeanour will be missed.

Ag no, sorry Myles. It's so sad when you loose an otherwise healthy animal under such circumstance. 

Strongs there.

Sorry Captain, cant t imagine how hard that must be

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

Thanks guys. Massive blow to the gut. My heart broke when I brought her through the front door and Mikey asked if she was okay. Not the way I'd hoped to end the Easter weekend with him.

Myles, so sorry to hear. Take as much time as it needs to talk to your boy about it. If he's had enough, leave it for a while, when he's ready to talk some more, he'll let you know.

Yup. Thanks DJR, that's what I'm planning to do. He's with his mom now so back with my doggo. Will be talking to him during this week anyway so he can talk to me if he wants to.

Sorry Myles.

The fourth person I know who’s lost a pet during lockdown.

Stella very seriously objected to me riding in her backyard and after the Nth pedal strike on he snout and getting the heels of my riding shoes attacked, I decided to throw her a toy to fetch and keep her busy.........which ended up evolving into a totally new sport.......and not much riding! Still great fun though!
