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.
It’d have a good home and it’d be loved. It’s not just that though, with the shifts I work it’s not convenient. One of the things I don’t miss is finishing work at 4am then being woken up at about half six and then other random intervals whenever I try to get some sleep. Seriously, there were some nights when I’d have to drag myself through a shift. Pets need attention and that’s something I couldn’t always guarantee enough of.

Maybe they publish the name to see if any other possible accusers come forward
John Leslie springs to mind. All of a sudden he was a serial sex offender, being accused by folk who never thought to mention it before he hit the headlines.

and wtf has happened to rosie? is it something to do with him?? (i dont read the tv mags)
Dunno, but I like it :lol:
This sort of thing makes it even worse in my opinion. Rape is difficult enough to prove at the best of times, false accusations make a mockery of the real victims. They also make victims of innocent people. Especially when it’s highlighted this way.
I agree that she should face charges – at the very least least wasting police time if nothing else – something to get the message across.

Personally, I hate the idea of caged birds. Its not natural to keep a creature who yearns to fly locked behind bars with nothing for company but a plastic version of itself and a mirror. It makes me feel very sad when I see a bird imprisoned for life, when they should be free to fly where ever they please.
But it is funny :lol:
