Like Rosepetal, I couldn’t go through it again so I wouldn’t get another dog. I had a black and white lab/spaniel for 16 years and up until the age of 15 she was still fit and healthy, running around the park and going for walks. Towards the end though, she was really struggling and had very little if any quality of life. Actually – hellish as this will sound – she was so bad that I actually hoped she would die in her sleep so I wouldn’t have to take her to the vets.

Wasn’t to be so had to take her, she was struggling to stand let alone walk. Even when she lay down she’d whine. The kindest thing would have been to take her sooner than I did but I didn’t even want to entertain the idea.

jesus christ jon im welling up here.

Ive been through the same with pets of mine. Its the worst thing ever.

Ive had more animals since though as I’d like to think I make a difference to their lives. My 2 cats were rescued kittens and probably would’nt of had much of a life until I took them home.

You’re like my neighbour, he was more upset than I was. Well, that’s not strictly true – I just hide my emotions, always have, whereas he was in tears. Literally, I saw him the following day and his eyes were still bloodshot.

A guy I work with does a lot of work for rescue centres, fundraising and such like so I always give to that. They do some good work and if I was to get another that’s probably where I’d go but it’s doubtful.

Jon, to be honest, Ive always wanted to work with animals, but im not sure i could hack it. Its like you said, Id be in tears daily because im not tough enough to deal with seeing animals in pain or dying.

You should consider another pet, its worth it just knowing you are rescuing them from a life of misery – seems to me youve got a good home waiting.

hi darling i can come anytime really ,,:) Glad to see you in fine spirits ( no pun intended) .. a quiet one for me myself. spent the evening listening to music i have not listened to for years. and this thread made me think of my own experiences with animals that we have had. I have coc.katiels too pebbs, but they are seldom in cage, and they go there when they want to sleep.My house is all bitten with the boogers ! right now i have the male on my head as the female tries to sleep but cant due to singing ringing boy up there ! ^^^^.
I will freely admit, that once they die a natural death I wont have any more.My husband was the ornithologist and hand seletcted the recipients of his finger tame babies. TO the degree he once walked into a house and removed a cinnamon bird as the owners had it sitting in a window area ! in bright sunshine. Once they leave me, i will decorate my house :)
